Ina Thompson, 49, owns Graveley’s fish and chip shop, located opposite the stadium with a direct view of the West Stand.<\/p>\n
Originally from Moldova, she has been running the shop for more than 16 years.<\/p>\n
“Even before I moved to Leeds, I was a Leeds fan,” she says. “That was my love, so I’m in the right place.<\/p>\n
“We are very busy on a matchday – we are probably the busiest business here.<\/p>\n
“It will definitely be a great benefit for business when there are more things happening \u2013 more seats, extra shops, whatever else is proposed.”<\/p>\n
The Whites announced in December that their proposals had been given the initial green light by Leeds City Council, with those plans due to be formally ratified at Thursday’s meeting.<\/p>\n
Issues were raised at first around transport proposals, but the club have since worked with the council to rectify this and look at ways to improve roads around the stadium.<\/p>\n
Among those considered in regards to transport and logistical planning are residents of the Heath estate, located opposite the South Stand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ina Thompson, 49, owns Graveley’s fish and chip shop, located opposite the stadium with a direct view of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":681760,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[748,393,4884,1860,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-681759","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-leeds","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-leeds","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115858432715893839","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/681759","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=681759"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/681759\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/681760"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=681759"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=681759"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=681759"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
