In 2001, three unrelated riots occurred in England, these happened in localised areas of Oldham in May, the Manningham district of Bradford in June and the Harehills district of Leeds in July - all within forty miles of each other in central northern England.
The Harehills riots takes place in Harehills, Leeds, UK, after a questionable arrest of an Asian man for possession of an illegal car tax disc.
The area is deprived and surrounded by other deprived areas such as Sheepscar, Little London, Harehills and Lincoln Green.
All of the Hospital buildings except Chancellor's Wing are named after surrounding streets in the Leeds suburb of Harehills (Chancellor's Wing is named after the then Chancellor of the University of Leeds, HRH The Duchess of Kent, who opened the building in 1972).
The radio's area overlaps in areas with that of Asian Fever FM (East Leeds, in particularly Harehills, Oakwood and Seacroft) and Stray FM (Harrogate), while broadcasting in conjunction with regional radio stations such as Radio Aire, Real Radio and BBC Radio Leeds.
