Looking to buy some new leads.

Where is the best place to buy at the moment?
Last batch I bought I think was from Pottys Leads but can't seem to find them anymore.

After a recommendation from a mate, I've just placed an order with West Country Leads, so I'll see in a few days time! I can say he was very helpful when I asked about sizes not on his website, which he does indeed do.

At your nearest tackle shop - no postage.

Another vote for Barton's. I did switch to Barr's for a period (I was using some smaller leads that he wasn't able to do at the time) but given that business has gone happily gone back to Barton's as quality is very good as is the price and service

Even with postage leads from most specialist providers come in at roughly half the price of the branded ones sold in any of my local tackle shops

Definitely. I pay 80 and 90p for 5 and 6oz gripper leads and postage is £5 for any amount.

If you go through a lot then make your own, it's easy.

Cheapest uncoated leads from eBay that I can find. Coating is a waste of time and money.

Go on your local/county based carpy FB page and ask about, you'll get plenty of recommendations. Many lead makers do them for 50p per lead.
