A huge coffee chain has applied to keep one of its drive-thru outlets open 24 hours in Crewe, located close to the A500.

This January, Costa Coffee submitted a premises licence to Cheshire East Council on behalf of its premises on Jack Mills Way, Shavington.

Costa, which operates four branches in Crewe, currently has a licence to open on Crewe Commercial Park from 5am to 11pm.

Britain's largest coffee chain has now applied to extend its Jack Mills Way (drive-thru only) hours from 11pm to 5am, meaning it would be able to remain open 24 hours.

The licensing application is on the display at the Shavington outlet, with its Grand Junction Retail Park, Lockitt Street and Phoenix Leisure Park branches remaining unaffected.

The world has moved on considerably and there are a lot more workers doing shift work. 2am to them is a lot of other workers 5pm, so why not have somewhere to go to get their tea, or pick up a coffee.So long as they take on more staff to work these hours and not just force extra long hours on too few staff

that's not in Crewe, as Shavington-cum-Gresty Parish Council will be confirm. And why would it affect other branches?

Before anyone starts, it's nothing to do with alcohol....
