Plans to redevelop a former school site in Holbeck are recommended for approval by a council planning committee. The scheme at the former Matthew Murray High School includes a two-storey building, three artificial football pitches, a cafe, pharmacy and gym. It would be one of four Parklife Hubs in the city, planned as part of a not-for-profit scheme to boost grassroots football.
