TWO more takeaway shops are to be created in Farnworth, angering some local traders who say there are too many.
A vacant unit in Egerton Street, which used to be a bike shop, will sell hot and cold food and will be sited next door to an existing takeaway outlet.
A hot food shop will take over a newsagents in Higher Market Street. Both were approved by planning councillors.
The later application was opposed by Salter Sports, which was concerned there were too many hot food outlets in Farnworth.
