Corrie: Simon Gregson reveals how filming show has changed
Coronation Street star Simon Gregson, 49, and his wife Emma Gleave reportedly face having their independent business closed down following new development plans.
The couple’s award-winning business Morley Tea Rooms, located near Wilmslow, is popular with Cheshire locals and offers a range of food and drink options, as well as afternoon tea.
According to The Sun, however, Morley Nurseries, the home of their venture, faces being demolished after Cheshire East Council approved planning permission for new homes to be built on the land.
The Gregsons are said to have been campaigning tirelessly against the proposals, but despite 188 objections, four homes on the business site were given the green light in September.
Express.co.uk has contacted a representative for Simon, Morley Tearooms, Morley Nurseries and The Cheshire East Council for comment.
