PLANS have been drawn up to create a "pocket park" on a green space in St Helens.
Proposals listed on the council's planning portal seek permission for a small park area to be created at the patch of grass, off Cooper Street.
The proposed location is situated on the opposite side of the road to the Turks Head and Cowley Vaults pubs, between Cooper Street, Halefield Street and Chapel Street.
According to an application form in the plans for the "construction of a pocket park" the facility will "incorporate benches, lighting, planting and bins" along with a "footway and cycleway connection from Cooper Street to Halefield Street".

A decision on the plans is expected by April 3.
