A TAKEAWAY'S request to increase its opening hours has been deemed "inappropriate" by Horwich Town Council.
The applicant of the takeaway at 22A Winter Hey Lane, in Horwich, has requested an increase in its opening hours, from 9am until midnight on Monday to Friday and 9am until 1am Saturday and Sunday.
Town Councillor Chris Root said: "It is totally inappropriate for this area.
"It is across from a taxi rank but I don't even think that they are open until 1am.
"It is far too late particularly on a Sunday.
"There are people living in flats above these shops and I think we need to protect them."
Horwich Town Councillors recommended refusal on the application.
It will be heard by Bolton Council planning committee in the coming weeks.
