The Heinz factory in Wigan will get a new ‘cookhouse’ to make its famous beans after the council gave the thumbs up.
This means that the old cookhouse facility that is still in use and surrounded by scaffolding will soon be toast. It has reportedly become a health and safety concern, meaning an upgrade is required.
Applicant Kraft Heinz wants to build a new structure around the room as it remains operational and will bulldoze the dilapidated walls once the new structure is complete.
