With its independent shops and trendy bars and restaurants, Monton has long been touted as the 'New Didsbury'. But now a village in Lancashire is being described as the 'New Monton' - and not everyone's happy about it.
Plans to convert an old bank in Crawshawbooth into a cocktail bar have sparked fears the village could be 'taken over' by restaurants and bars and led to unfavourable comparisons to Monton, one of Salford's most desirable places to live.
Raising concerns that the bar could change the character of the village Rossendale council leader Alyson Barnes wrote: "Currently there are four drinks venues in Crawshawbooth – the Masons, The Black Dog, Liz’s Bar and the White Bull.

"A new, large music venue runs the risk of changing the nature of what is a relatively small village. On a larger scale, Monton in Salford, has almost been taken-over by restaurants and cafes.
"Whilst residents clearly want access to great places to eat and drink, there is a limit to what a village can reasonably stand."
The council leader was responding to a licensing application to sell alcohol and have live or recorded music at the proposed Thyme Wine & Cocktail Bar at Burnley Road, Crawshawbooth. Two other objections have also been made.
One anonymous objector wrote: "With three well-run pubs and a bar and bistro in the village, there is already ample provision for those who wish to drink or listen to live music. The addition of this bar with live music and open until midnight on some nights can only cause noise and disturbance to residents."
The application will be discussed on Monday.
