EMPTY PROPERTY COULD BE TURNED INTO OFFICES

AN EMPTY home could be turned into offices - if city planners give the go-ahead.

Developer Ms A Powner wants to convert the vacant property, in Victoria Road, Basford, and has now asked Stoke-on-trent City Council for permission to carry out the work. Plans submitted for approval state that one full-time and two parttime jobs will be created by the development.

The council will make a decision on the application in due course.
