Leeds residents fear a new Wetherspoon pub will bring “drunkenness and unpleasant behaviour” to their picturesque market town and devastate local bars and restaurants.
One married couple is pleading with JD Wetherspoon owner Tim Martin to “find somewhere more suitable in another town,” suggesting 50 miles away from their 'conservative' town, with Sheffield as their first choice.
Plans are in motion for the pub chain giant to come to Wetherby, a quaint and charming north Leeds town in LS22. It’s known for its flower displays, having a variety of independent bars, cafes and shops and peaceful country walks along the River Wharfe.
