A new Domino’s Pizza which has opened in a Leeds market town is causing “worry” and “sadness” among residents who are concerned about how it will affect their neighbourhood.
There are fears the new takeaway in Wetherby, in North Leeds, will cause the town to lose some of its “charm” as it’s the first major fast-food chain franchise to open in the town centre. This comes after fury from residents when it was announced local Italian restaurant Sant’ Angelo would become a Wetherspoon pub, with fears drunken yobs would flock to their “conservative” town.
There’s also a sense of anxiety over how it will affect “struggling” local independent pizza takeaways, with three independents located in close proximity to the Domino’s.
