It's massively important that the arts and creativity are part of the makeup of Leeds, because like most northern working-class towns, it's about manufacturing, grafting, and stuff like that. But there's creativity in all that, and it often gets skirted over sometimes. So it's nice that there's a whole floor of creativity, and it would be nice to have a creative hub like this, just to grow that and show people that being working class isn't just about working and engineering, which again is creative in itself. It can be about being artistic, being creative, and it's okay to use your mind in that way as well. You can have really hard-working artists and creatives that make money as well, get eyes into the town. We don't have to lose the historic identity, but we can create new identities through creativity.
