Councillors are set to approve the development of a permanent observation wheel at the site.

It will be part of the new Yorkshire Hive inside the park, a free-admission area which includes independent shops, cafes and a play barn.

The proposal has received eight objections from residents including from Finningley ward Councillor Allan Jones.

Coun Jones has opposed on the basis that the wheel is inappropriate to the site with it being a wildlife park and not a fairground.
