A popular hotel and restaurant has announced it will be closing its doors due to the 'ridiculous' rise in utility bills from 'greedy' energy firms. The Albany, in Heywood, confirmed it will be shutting for the final time today (Sunday, June 26).
The venue, on Rochdale Road East, functions as both a hotel and a pub and restaurant named The Orchard. However, following the cost of living crisis and energy bills hiking more than ever before, it sadly announced via social media it would be closing due to 'circumstances out of our control'.
The post cited the 'ridiculous' rise in utility bills from 'greedy' energy firms as the reason for its demise, as it went on to urge the people living in the town to continue supporting independent businesses, which would be a 'massive loss to a lot of people'.
