Coun Alistair Morwood said fast food applications were always “contentious”, but that any noise would not be worse than that coming from Tesco’s car park.

Andy committee member Coun Danny Gee also said that the roundabout at the junction of West Way and Southport Road was already “horrendous” during morning rush hour and added that the A581 was a walk-to-school route.

Less than two miles from its sister branch in the town centre, the popular fast-food franchise will be situated in the car park of the Tesco store of Foxhole Road.
