Bosses agreed to curtail hours of opening in face of protests from residents
A garage group has been given the go-ahead to relaunch a shop and service station that closed two years ago in Sale, despite objections from nearby residents. Trafford ’s licensing sub-committee agreed to Amma Garages Ltd’s application to run the Londis-franchised business which will be known as the Essar Chapel Lane Service Station.
Licensing consultant Patrick Burke, representing Amma, said that his client runs a number of shops and service stations. “They have a record of training and employing local people who go on to have good careers,” he said.“Most of the objections relate to the opening hours,” he said. “As a result, we have agreed to reduce the hours.” He said complaints from neighbours over the activities of a neighbouring car wash were ‘nothing to do’ with Amma Garages.
He went on: “Just to revamp the facility and get the petrol pumps working again has cost more than £200,000. Sales of fuel alone will not create a viable business. They make 8p a litre, so the only way to make it work is to have retail, which in today’s world is a very brave thing to do.”
