A new convenience store could open in Kingston's town centre.

Lloyds Local could replace the former Cash & Carry located in 161 Clarence Street.

The chain has submitted a licensing application to Kingston Council seeking permission to sell alcohol for consumption off of the premises during its potential operating hours of 7am - 11pm seven days a week should it open.

Should the application be approved, Lloyds Local says it will have CCTV, staff training, a refusals register, incident log, and challenge 25 rules implemented to comply with the council's four licensing objectives.

Residents have until 13 May to submit representations for this application and can do so here.
