Residents are worried about congestion and a lack of healthy food options in the area
A historic Greater Manchester pub is set to be demolished to make way for a drive-thru Greggs despite receiving 64 objections from residents.
A traffic survey carried out at a comparable site in Mansfield found that the 'worst case scenario' would mean five cars queuing for the drive-thru at peak times with 'no impact to the free flow of traffic on Edgeley Road', despite there being space for 24 cars to park at the site in total. Coun Wendy Meikle from Stockport Lib Dems, who opposed the application, said: "I am on the side of the 64 objectors. They talked about congestion, the effect on health, that the building is a landmark, and in my opinion Greggs is a fast food take out and not a restaurant.
