bosses allowed a series of metal cabins to be placed outside his business – leaving it 'invisible' to customers.
“We relied on passing trade from theatres, hotels, office staff and folk parking outside to pop in for a bite to eat, but as soon as these horrible cabins appeared, people pretty much stopped coming in. Our profits started going down over the weeks, initially by around half, then 60% and eventually 90% by the time we closed.
He said: “We were doing well and just about to celebrate the first year of Alaa’s when I received a letter from the council saying that work would be taking place in the area. “I was practically begging them to help me because I knew that I wouldn’t survive. I just couldn’t believe how cruel it all was.fight for Mortons workers
