IMPORTANT NOTICE - It is with regret that we have to announce that our meeting in Leeds cannot go ahead due to late and unreasonable cancellation. We will be emailing attendees shortly with more information. We condemn this act of silencing women. More to follow.

This isn't surprising at all. I've been expecting Leeds to go badly out of all the places these meetings have been held.

Leeds - Mermaids

Leeds - West Yorkshire Police

Join the dots.

the views...are not in line with Leeds City Council's values on gender and equality

Anyone know if LCC is one of the "gender" equality policy councils who don't talk about sex?

We're meeting up in Leeds anyway.

That is beyond shocking-why on earth can't women get together to discuss law policy that affects them negatively? On the plus side there must be some press mileage in this-it proves women are being silenced.

Do you think that they did this on purpose? Did they take the booking with the idea of cancelling it at the last minute? So it would be too late to get anything else.
Leeds does not have a good reputation.

This needs to make the news

Datun · 28/09/2018 17:08

Jesus. This is insane.

The council cancelled it? That really really is outrageous.

Pinned tweet on Leeds Council twitter:

A century after the first women in the UK got the vote, next week's @LightNightLeeds will see #Suffragettes Leonora Cohen & Mary Gawthorpe return to modern day #Leeds! The piece by @Projstudio sheds new light on these two truly extraordinary women #Vote100 news.leeds.gov.uk/suffragettes-time-to-shine-in-powerful-new-display/ …

THAT IS IRONIC INNIT

Made aware by whom? Obviously didn't bother to check WPUK's website

WomenMakePurchasingDecisions · 28/09/2018 17:02

No.

I have no words. It’s a FUCKING MEETING.

This is Leeds City Council, you will be imprisoned if you don't give them your custom, if you live in Leeds. No choice.

Very sorry to hear this. Please can you tell us the venue as I occasionally travel to Leeds and would hate to unknowingly give them my custom.
