A new Hooters has been approved at Salford Quays despite 91 objections to the plans - but not everyone is against the proposal.
The controversial plans to open a Hooters bar and restaurant in the old Chiquitos building on Capital Quay, next to the Salford Quays tram stop, were approved at a licensing committee meeting on Friday, June 10, despite opposition from Salford City Mayor Paul Dennett and Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham.
Trafford and Stretford MP Rebecca Long-Bailey, the Women's Equality Party, Womanchester, GM4Women, and Barbara Keeley, MP for Worsely and Eccles South, also opposed the idea, with 91 objections made to the application, submitted by Jullian Mills who has run the Nottingham branch of the American chain for 21 years.
