LB takes a look at: Mercure Leeds Parkway Hotel, Otley Road, Leeds, LS16 8AG Another migrant hotel, having a look at what our tax is being spent on. Security was fine and didn't overstep in my opinion. I asked and was given permission to look around the grounds. I wasn't happy with the amount of litter tossed from the hotel especially being next to a nature reserve, this was reported to them and hopefully it will be cleared asap.

7:25
I don't know if that implied that I'm
7:27
okay to walk
7:28
around it was nice and pleasant security
7:31
wasn't over the top they got the
7:33
superior so I'm really happy with seeing
7:43
that oh
7:54
yeah we are not going to use the
7:56
handheld camera unless there is
7:59
something
8:00
very interesting to
8:02
see but I asked permission if I could
8:04
walk around and the gentleman did not
8:07
say no he said yes it is a beautiful
8:10
area when I asked the questions
8:36
that's like a courtyard for the gym
8:37
which is in that building
8:41
there
8:44
so thinking that is for Fitness related
8:46
with all the tires to throw about and
8:48
drag maybe hit with sledgehammers if
8:51
into the
8:51
CrossFit right so one the back and go up
8:54
the other side
9:03
everything did look in good condition
9:05
what I could see cuz I still think they
9:07
are holding conferences here a few book
9:15
rooms but they couldn't say if the
9:18
residents
9:20
were staying
9:23
indefinitely Or it was just a stop Gap
9:27
but it has been closed for the last
9:28
three years
9:32
years I think it says online that it is
9:35
a three star hotel as well but it has
9:38
got pool and gym sauna steam
9:42
room so I don't know if that's open to
9:45
the public or not
10:11
[Music]
10:25
yes
10:32
I've got the bins and the laundry down
10:36
there there not much to see down
10:44
[Music]
10:49
there got the bottle banks for recycling
10:51
and a sulfur and a broken chair so I
10:55
don't know where that was broken
10:57
[Music]
11:01
and on this side you see on the sign is
11:05
the Golden Acre Conference
11:07
Center it is the golden AC Nature
11:09
Reserve just
11:16
nearby we are not going to go up to
11:18
Windows and start looking
11:21
in so I'm not going to infringe on
11:24
anybody's privacy in that respect
11:46
right the handy camera is coming out
11:53
now so the people who are staying
12:01
the beautiful Yorkshire
12:03
Countryside around the back of the
12:06
hotel just
12:08
rubbish
12:10
everywhere we even
12:12
got a pair of shoes that someone's
12:17
discarded Nike as well so won't be won't
12:20
be too cheap I don't think them but yeah
12:23
all the rubbish out the back just thrown
12:25
out
12:25
of balcon as it looks
12:31
I think that's quite disgusting if they
12:34
they get a free
12:36
accommodation why can't they look after
12:38
it
13:01
rubish all over the car park but that's
13:03
takeway boxes that could be a car that's
13:04
coming and parked up to e but all that
13:07
on the back there looks like it's just
13:09
been thrown off at the
13:13
balconies there isn't a load of
13:16
bikes that I've seen anywhere on the
13:18
areas that I've had to
13:21
[Music]
13:23
walk but
13:25
Y close to the public
13:31
[Music]
13:44
I might go me two mons to tell them
13:45
about all the Litter with
13:48
the
13:50
environmental effects it could
13:53
have so I think that's disgusting
14:01
[Music]
14:15
hey Paul I'm going just i' let you know
14:19
before we go we're on the back when I
14:21
said I was going to have a walk around
14:22
it's a beautiful area just r on the back
14:24
on that massive grassy area just loads
14:27
of litter just discarded out there and
14:29
it might blow into nature reserve and
14:32
have more of an environmental
14:35
effect right no see you
14:45
[Music]
14:51
later yep as I said security wasn't
14:54
heavy-handed nice little
14:56
chat let me walk around the property
15:00
they've been informed about all the
15:02
litter the environmental impact it could
15:05
have on the Nature Reserve which
15:07
is literally just up there but there is
15:11
a wooded area which found loads of
15:13
wildlife in as well it's just disgusting
15:16
give people free
15:18
accommodation why can't they respect it
15:20
a little bit
15:22
more U you know for some of the previous
15:24
videos on the channel one of my pet hats
15:27
is people fly tipping
15:31
so hopefully we have done something
15:36
constructive by informing them all the
15:38
litter that they will that they
15:40
hopefully will tidy up
15:44
ASAP but yeah close to the public for 3
15:48
years no idea when it's go going to open
15:50
to the public
15:53
again cannot see whether the residents
15:57
are staying here indefinitely
15:59
are the ones here at the moment is just
16:01
a stop
16:06
Gap so if nothing occurs on the way back
16:09
to the uh
16:11
car we will see you in the next one
