Council to discuss plans to open Hooters in Salford Quays next week

Campaigners who are fighting to stop a Hooters coming to Salford Quays will get a chance to have their say at a licensing hearing next week. Womanchester, a women’s rights group, alongside other individuals and groups, have previously referred to the US restaurant chain as “sexist, misogynistic and degrading”.

They will be making their voice heard come June 10 when they get a chance to present their representations against the proposals to Salford City Council at the Civic Centre in Swinton. They will be joined by Men at Work, Men Against Violence Campaign, and Male Allies Challenging Sexism alongside others.

This hearing comes after outcry from campaigners following the US chain’s application to open a branch in Salford Quays.
