Residents in a Yorkshire town fear that a new local Wetherspoon will bring 'drunkenness and unpleasant behaviour' to their area - and have told the chain owner Tim Martin to find somewhere else for his pub.
Disgruntled residents in the picturesque market town of Wetherby say that a new chain pub would 'devastate' local bars and restaurants, and they are pleading with JD Wetherspoon owner Martin to 'find somewhere more suitable in another town', suggesting Sheffield as an alternative.
Yorkshire Live says that plans are in motion for the pub giant to open a new branch in Wetherby, a town known for its floral displays, and which has a variety of independent bars, cafes and shops. JD Wetherspoon is currently exchanging contracts for the now vacant Sant’ Angelo building on High Street. The Italian restaurant closed down for good last month due to the rising energy costs.
