Another popular town centre restaurant closed last month.

Flames Restaurant and Bar in Bolton Road, which had a five-star rating on Facebook from 34 reviews, confirmed on social media that it would close on Sunday, August 21.

The Bolton Road restaurant said it closed because of 'personal changes within the family and staffing problems within the hospitality industry’.
