New Domino's in Wetherby sparks anger as residents fear posh Leeds town is 'losing its charm'
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.
Disgruntled residents have said people are going to have to walk all the way across the town to get their “unhealthy” pizza, adding the pizzas will likely “get cold”. “It’s sad. I mean look at Sant’ Angelo, it’s going to be a Wetherspoon. Its [Wetherby's] charm is going to be affected.” "We’ve got three kids and they all love Domino’s so they’re pleased, I think the older generation will be more faithful to the other ones. We just feel sorry for the local businesses who are already struggling.
'Not healthy' Married couple Cliff and Sue Smith, 70 and 63, who don’t eat “unhealthy” pizza were fairly indifferent to the new Domino's in town. They admitted however the chain-takeaway is sure to cause competition for the town’s independents and parking “will be an issue”. “Parking is going to be an issue, there’s no parking nearby, they’re going to have to park in Morrisons and by the time you’ve walked there, your pizza will be cold by the time you’ve gotten back to your car.”
