 The festival could be held at Bramham Park for 10 years |
A parish council which opposed the decision to hold the Leeds Festival at Bramham Park is to review its stance before next year's event. Residents in Thorner had feared the three-day festival would cause local roads to be gridlocked and that they would be overwhelmed with revellers.
But police managed to direct most of the traffic away from the village, although there was congestion on Monday morning as cars picked up fans from Bramham Park.
Catriona Laycock, who chairs Thorner Parish Council, said they would now listen to what villagers thought of the event before making a decision on whether to oppose it next year.

She said some residents were kept awake by the music from the festival site.
But she admitted: "This year went better than we had hoped for."
It was the first time the event had been held at Bramham Park after violence marred the end of last year's festival at Temple Newsam.
Organisers Mean Fiddler have a contract with the owners of the park to hold the festival there for the next nine years.
