To mark Leeds City Council passing a resolution last year in support of
the UK Government signing the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear
Weapons, a tree was planted in Park Square. In recent months, Leeds CND
fundraised to install a plaque explaining the significance of the tree and
the decision by Leeds City Council to endorse the TPNW. On the 22nd January
2022, the first anniversary of the TPNW, the plaque was erected in front of
the tree. In early February, Leeds City Councillor David Blackburn, Chair
of UK/Ireland Nuclear Free Local Authorities [NFLA], joined members of
Leeds CND to commemorate the plaque’s installation.
