The cooption of #QuarryHill continues.
#SOYOLeeds IS NOT THE NEW NAME FOR QUARRY HILL.
It’s the name of some future flats/shops next door (oh, and a PR team determined to lay claim to this whole fantastic area & slap their silly name on it to try and sell those flats.)
OK everyone, I just wrote another random rant against @soyoleeds in which I managed to coin at least one new word #fewtopia... let me know what you think @ChrisNickson2 @splituk@ohnoleeds https://t.co/MoG8kkqDc2

@philkirby @ChrisNickson2 Ha. History is so last year! culture is just fine though. It’s gives us lots of content to put in our film, and given our flats look like anywhere else, we need a sales angle and some content damnit!
@soyoleeds Wow you really are just ploughing ahead with this whole co-opting #QuarryHill thing aren’t you?!
Plenty gets made on Quarry Hill, and right now SOYO is nothing more than a silly name. Our work isn’t yours to just come in and lay claim to to use to sell your flats.
@D_Glare We do. At the time we felt like there was bugger all we could do against a done deal with millions behind it, and was trying to fight a smaller fight.... But that was written some time back.
What is #SoYoLeeds? A bunch of flats/few shops, built next to #QuarryHill- a cultural playground filled with arts, food & drink, that has been here long before they rocked up & tried to sell their identi-kit flats off the back of all that’s good here #WhereCultureIsCoOpted#leeds
