PLANS have been drawn up to convert and extend a newsagents premises to create a bistro.

Proposals have been sent to the council seeking permission to convert the existing Dajan News at 243 City Road, Windlehurst.

Proposed opening hours are from 8am to 4pm on Mondays to Fridays; 9am to 4pm on Saturdays and 10am to 4pm on Sundays and Bank Holidays.
