RESIDENTS in Weston could soon have a new traditional fish and chip shop.

Weston businessman Chris Kimitri has applied to North Somerset Council for planning permission to change an empty unit next to Madeira Court, in Upper Church Road, into a 'chippy'.

Mr Kimitri, also a town and unitary authority member, hopes to open his latest business venture in the summer.

A decision on the site's future will be taken by Town Hall planners in the coming weeks.
