Bar owners are 'scared' after a series of crimes in the area
Leeds city centre is renowned for being a hub for hen dos, quirky bars, and late night fun. But recently it has become more apparent that behind the rose tinted glasses there has been a string of "unacceptable" criminal and anti-social activity.
A WYP spokesperson confirmed to Leeds Live earlier today that police will also "continue to patrol the area", more often than before. Some businesses have shared that they have already noticed a change since the ban has been implemented, and "hope" the change lasts. 64-year-old resident Fred added: "You see the youngens messing about around here all the time. I come near here every day and they just want to cause trouble, steal things, or cause a nuisance, or start fights."
A staff member at Oporto in Call Lane, who wishes to remain unnamed, said: "I hadn't heard much about the ban, since it has come in I haven't noticed much of a difference, no." "If you go anywhere in Leeds it’s a problem at the moment, it isn’t just in this area it’s all over. In my view wherever there is bars and restaurants or somewhere for people to congregate, it happens.
