An empty Post Office in Weston could be transformed into a dessert parlour.

The Post Office building in Regent Street has been vacant since 2015, when the branch moved to Alexandra Parade.

Joylicious Food Limited UK has shown an interest in the property, and has applied for planning permission to change the building’s use to a dessert parlour.

If it gets planning permission, it could be one of a number of new eateries to have opened in Weston’s empty buildings recently, including Brunello Lounge in Beach Road.
