Liverpool Council is taking the city’s branch of Hooters to court over its controversial outdoor signs.
In April, it was confirmed that a bid by the American chain to appeal a decision by the city council denying them planning permission for two large illuminated signs outside the Water Street venue had been dismissed. The business was subsequently given 14 days to remove the signs or face prosecution.
As the signs still remain in place, Liverpool Council has confirmed to the ECHO it will now seek to start prosecution proceedings against Hooters under the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (England) Regulations 2007. Managing director Rachael Moss said she had not received notice of such a position and criticised the council.
