Chippy can open for breakfast

A FISH and chip shop has won planning consent to open from 9am to serve breakfasts – despite opposition from nearby residents.
But the Big Blue in Knutsford Road, Grappenhall, says it will not be serving any food traditionally associated with a fish and chip shop until after 11.30am.
Early morning customers will be able to buy hot sandwiches, hot drinks, coffee, tea, bacon and sausage sandwiches, etc.
Nearby residents, backed by Grappenhall and Thelwall Parish Council and borough councillor Elaine Welborn, objected to the changes. They argued it could lead to early morning traffic and parking problems, noise and smells.
The Big Blue opened about 12 months ago but its opening hours were restricted to 11.30am to 10.30pm .
Cllr Welborn said early morning opening would increase local traffic and clash with parents taking children to the nearby Bradshaw Primary School at an already hazardous time.
Planning officers recommended the scheme be approved and said the earlier opening times would not significantly affect neighbours who were far enough away not to be affected by smells or noise.
