Plans for a Hooters restaurant in Salford have been branded 'regressive' by the city's Mayor. Paul Dennett and Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham have both opposed the application from the American restaurant chain.
It comes after they were sent an open letter from a number of campaigners urging them to refuse it. Mr Dennett expressed his serious concern.
“Hooters has applied to Salford City Council to open a premises in Salford. The location and nature of the business cause me serious concern. I therefore totally appreciate the negative reaction from the community.,” he said.
