PLANS have been unveiled for a £31m new four-star hotel in Leeds city centre which will be one of the largest of its type in the city.

The developers have already secured planning approval and work will start on site this year with the project due to be completed by the end of 2011.

I'm sure someone somewhere must think we need another 544 hotel room in Leeds. Anyone like to name names?

It's a fantastic idea if site managers will be using local labour from the ailing construction industry in our region rather than from the South, also allowing for small local firms to tender for other associated works.
Yvonne Walsh
