PLANS have been drawn up to convert a former dance studio into a coffee shop and an office.

Proposals have been submitted to the council seeking to change the use of the vacant premises at 13 to 15 North Road, St Helens. Plans have been submitted to change the use of the ground floor into a coffee shop and a partial change of use of the first floor from a flat to an office.

The application, submitted by Leanne Corkery, states the premises would also be used as a women's hub offering workshops.

Plans are on public consultation until Friday, November 1.
