Grangemouth's Bowhouse Hotel is set to transform its bar area into a shop with a delivery service.
The change to the Bowhouse Hotel licence was granted despite objections from a neighbouring shopkeeper, who claimed it would make the area's anti-social problems even worse.
Planning permission for the changes to the hotel on Bowhouse Road was granted two years ago, but the work has been delayed by the Covid-19 pandemic, members of Falkirk Council's licensing board heard today (Wednesday).
