A NEW confectionary shop is set to open in Farnworth, despite concerns from a nearby school.
Harper Green School objected to plans to open the shop in Harper Green Road, citing worries about childhood obesity and an abundance of sweet shops and convenience stores in the area.
Councillors approved the plans at yesterday’s planning meeting after the applicant, Cheryl Marsden, said she was planning to offer low-fat food and drink options.
