A TAKEAWAY looks set to be refused permission to stay open later because police are linking it to late night noise and litter.

The owners of the Steak House in Halliwell Road, Bolton, have applied for a licence to trade until 2am at weekends instead of midnight. Councillors will make a final decision tomorrow, but planning officers have recommended they refuse the application.

Police Community Support Officers said residents were already fed-up with customers slamming car doors, playing loud music and dropping litter.
