Residents have hit back at 'old fuddy-duddys' who are against a new Wetherspoon pub opening in Wetherby, going as far to say the quaint market town is already "absolute carnage" on a night out.
The JD Wetherspoon pub chain announced its plans to open a new pub in Wetherby. The chain giant is currently negotiating contracts to acquire the building of closed down restaurant Sant' Angelo on High Street.
A proportion of Wetherby residents are firmly against the pub fearing drunken yobs, even though the plans will create 50 jobs in the north Leeds town and an investment of £2.25million to redevelop the vacant building. It is expected to be renamed The Angel, the name the building had before it became an Italian restaurant.
