Residents oppose new Greggs bakery, but council approves its stay in Swaffham, Norfolk.

Residents of Swaffham, Norfolk, opposed the opening of a new Greggs bakery, fearing it would hurt the local family-run Wellbread Bakers. Despite over 1,000 signing a petition and the store initially opening without permission, Breckland Council granted Greggs permission to stay, including for a sign, air conditioning, and outdoor seating. The owners of Wellbread Bakers worry about potential job cuts due to the new competition.
