Concerns over new shop plan

8:50am Tuesday 12th March 2013 in News

A PUB in Horwich will be converted into a shop, if plans are given the go-ahead by the council.

Convenience store chain Nisa Local plans to demolish part of the Victoria Hotel in Chorley New Road as part of the conversion.

The proposals include a new shop front, air conditioning and the bricking up of various openings at the side and rear of the building.

The side toilet block will be demolished if plans are granted.

But some residents have raised concerns about the plans.

One neighbour, who made an anonymous comment on the council’s planning website, said: “Why do we need a store here? There is a very good one next door, a newsagents convenience store across the road, a 24-hour garage a hundred yards away, Horwich centre less than a quarter of a mile away and Middlebrook Retail and Leisure Park.”

The real worry is that Rahat Anwar and his company RAD (Rahat Anwar Design) is behind all the mosques and madrassas built in Bolton in the last 5 years, so nisa store today Horwich's first mosque tomorrow! Check out Bolton planning site if you have any doubt!

There is also a Aldi & Iceland close by, when this business fails which it will due too lack of customers because they will go elsewhere, a change of use application will be put in to planning and Horwich will have its first mosque!

You can see EXACTLY what is going to happen.

The Fat Controller, useless lummox Cliff Morris, and his useless council mob will make a complete balls of it all as usual.

There is a shop opening up soon just down the road opposite the old vic mil site. This is being fitted out at the moment with shelves and fridges. It looks like it will be a good size as it is 3 shops together in 1.
The vic opening as a shop would be too much.
