Name: Ellie Rogers on Aug 22, 2008Comments: This decision is appalling. What other community space does the city centre have And how mcuh trouble in comparison to big clubs etc does it generate I don't see their licenses being revoked. Why doesn't the council learn to engage with positive action by communities instead of haranguing it. Pathetic.Flag

Name: Terry Simpson on Aug 22, 2008Comments: The Common Place is a great mixing pot where people from all kinds of different communities can get together and find out about each other. It's really unique in Leeds, and the social events are a crucial part of it.Flag

Name: Steven Lightfoot on Aug 22, 2008Comments: Leeds' only self funding, artistic, musicly diverse, Leeds band venue, Leeds film maker showing, theatre, discussion group licence revoked by Leeds Council. They are supposed to be making the city centre better! Maybe they should convert to an over priced bar or a stripclub then they would have no problem getting a licence. Reverse the decision to help stop Leeds Centre becoming the blandest, most corporate, dullest, most over priced, seediest city centre in Britain.Flag

Name: Amanda Crossfield on Aug 22, 2008Comments: The common place holds extremely worthwhile events such as the common conversation english classes for refugees, permaculture meetings and all manner of other brilliant things. Closing them down would be a blow for self organising support networks that ease pressure on mainstream council servies.Flag

Name: Anonymous on Aug 22, 2008Comments: Its not a good move on the council's behalf to effectively close a center that provides so much for people that need it the most e.g asylum seekers english groups, mental health groups etc - is hypocritical and contradictory when when they say they want to encourage and promote this sort of activity!Makes you wonder what other hypocrisy is happening in the Council offices...and if we can trust them!Flag

Name: Claire Rae Randall on Aug 22, 2008Comments: I have sat in at the entrance desk on numerous occasions at events and have witnessed that the organisers have been scrupulous in only admitting paid up members and properly signed in guests. I witness that any allegation that the Common Place has allowed non members to come in to events is a falsehood.Flag

Name: Daniel Fredriksson on Aug 22, 2008Comments: The Common Place has done so much good for so many people, it'd be a real shame if it loses it's events licence. It provides a real alternative place to go in Leeds city centre where you can always feel safe.Flag
