Taco Revolution in Leeds: Birria Boyz Spice Up the Scene

Birria Boyz, a Mexican food venture by three best friends, has brought the traditional Birria tacos to Leeds's food scene, addressing a gap in the market.

Based at Moortown Rugby Club, they offer a tasty array of authentic Mexican cuisine. Their journey from passion to business, backed by Charlie's marketing and Jasper and Bailey's culinary skills, has resulted in an overwhelming response.

With aspirations to expand, they currently serve their dishes Thursday to Sunday.

Leeds Bradford Airport's Night Flight Regulations Breached

An investigation has revealed that Leeds Bradford Airport exceeded its night-time flight limit during the 2023 summer season by 577 flights.

Although Leeds City Council has recognised this non-compliance, they have decided not to take further action, citing that the cost of legal proceedings would surpass the potential fines.

The Group for Action on Leeds Bradford Airport (GALBA) has criticised the council’s inaction, emphasising the negative impacts of extra night flights on public health and the environment.
