    The walls run for 2.1 miles and include five main gateways and 45 towers.

    Under the council's plan to upgrade the front of the city's railway station, Queen Street Bridge (pictured), next to part of the walls, would be demolished.

    Now archaeologists have been called in to look at the impact the scheme could have.

    John Oxley, the council's city archaeologist, said: "We are digging a series of small trenches right up against the city wall.

    "There are two shards of Roman pottery that have popped out already: a Roman Samian ware which is orange-red glazed and a piece of Roman mortaria."

    The bridge will be taken down in sections to enable the team to monitor any movement in the walls as a result of the works.

    West Yorkshire council leaders have said events like the Tour de Yorkshire could be at risk if the tourism body doesn't change how it works.

    Sir Gary (pictured) resigned on health grounds on 22 March but since his departure concerns have been raised about his expenses and behaviour.

    Council leaders say the investigations aren't moving fast enough and also say they want immediate changes to make the organisation more transparent or future funding could be at risk.

    Welcome to Yorkshire says it expects to have appointed those who will carry out the investigations within the next week.
