PLANS for a new Timpson shop have been submitted to Colchester Council.

The proposal is for a new retail pod to be built outside Asda in Turner Rise, Colchester.

The pod will house the popular Timpson shop which offers dry cleaning, key cutting, engraving, and watch and shoe repairs.

If approved it will be built outside the front of the store, but no parking spaces will be lost.

It will be open from 9am until 6pm Monday to Saturday, and 10am until 4pm on Sundays and Bank Holidays.

Colchester Council's planning team will have the final say over the proposal.
