About The Leeds Brief

The Leeds Brief is a free morning email for Leeds: the news, weather and what's on in one quick, friendly read, Monday to Saturday at 7am. It was launched in October 2026 by Sam Goodwill.

How it's made

Every morning we gather the day's Leeds stories from trusted local sources — council, police, clubs, venues and local reporting — and sum them up in plain English. Every item links to the original, so you can read the full story. Will checks every issue before it goes out. If we get something wrong, tell us and we'll put it right.

What you get

• Leeds news in one short email
• What's on around the city
• For members, from Friday 13 November: the Leeds Brief Weekender at noon (planning applications, new openings and closures, and your weekend)

The daily Brief stays free. Members help keep it that way.

Thanks for reading,
Will
