Plans revealed to turn old Kirkby taxi office into toys and models shop

The building on Station Street has been closed since it stopped being a taxi office.

But now, Kirkby woman Tracey Cooper wants to turn it into a business selling toys and model railway items.

In her statement on her planning application, she said: “The premises have been trading as a mini-cab office and prior to that a jewellery shop and I wish to change the use the class E to be able to use the premises as a retail model shop selling model railway items, kits, diecast models, modelling supplies, toys and radio-control products.”
