A new shop plans to open inside a former sweet store on the edge of Crewe town centre - with a premises license application being considered by Cheshire East Council.

In February, mr Karthika Asokan and Mr Uthayashankar Manikarasa, applied for a premises license to open Hightown Food and Wine, on Crewe's Hightown.

The premises license was submitted for the sale of alcohol from the new store - operating Monday to Sunday from 6am to 11pm.

Hightown Food and Wine will replace former sweet shop, Truly Scrumtious, which relocated to Victoria Street in October 2022 (Ryan Parker).

Representations were asked to be made to Cheshire East Council's Licensing Section by Friday 17 March.
