Overview
- Night of June 2 saw about 300 students gather in a garden on Cliff Road to celebrate the end of their exams.
- A mother was one of 30 residents who confronted the party at 1:34 am to demand quieter music for her daughter’s 9 am GCSE exam.
- When the gathering shifted into the street with music blaring from a car, police intervened and cleared the scene by around 3 am.
- Leeds City Council’s anti-social behaviour team has applied sanctions under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 against the property’s occupants, with investigations remaining ongoing.
- The incident highlights tensions between student celebrations and local neighbourhood peace despite preventive partnerships between Leeds City Council, the University of Leeds and Leeds Beckett University.
