A Leeds vets claims its business is being “wrecked” after double-yellow lines were painted outside its premises.

Towerwood Vets, a veterinary surgery on Tinshill Road, has been a key part of the Cookridge community since 1971. But its owner now thinks the business could shut its doors for good. Plans to place double yellow lines on Tinshill Road, a residential area, were announced two years ago, approved a year later and painted in February 2024. Leeds City Council said the decision was made following complaints from residents about “obstructed access” to their properties.

The longstanding practice has since launched a petition, which currently has more than 600 signatures from its customers. Brendan said: “We've had several near misses already, within the last few months that the double yellows have been down, where people or animals have nearly been hit because they've got out of cars on the wrong side of the road and then had to cross. “Those endless numbers of traffic jams occur because people are swerving across the other side of the road.
