Morley’s is currently renovating the inside of the takeaway, with completion expected in “around five weeks”.
A spokesperson for Morley’s said it is “really excited” to come to Elm Park.
They told the Recorder: “We have received countless messages over the years, so we can’t wait to serve to serve the community our famous chicken.”
