New road changes will “kill” small businesses and be the final nail in the coffin for the once idyllic "small village" of Meanwood, according to a launderette owner and dry cleaner.
Abdul Aziz, who’s owned Bright Wash Laundrette & Dry Cleaners since 1985, says Leeds City Council proposals would be the final death knell for trade in the Leeds suburb - which he claims has already gone downhill.
The 65-year-old has thrown fury at plans to completely transform the Stonegate and Meanwood Road junctions, removing it even further from the small village he knew in the mid-80s.
