PLANS to change a former bookmaker shop into a vets on the Westbrook Centre have been unveiled.

Willows Veterinary Group in Northwich has applied to Warrington Borough Council for planning permission to open the small animal veterinary surgery in Westbrook House.

The building was previously used by David Pluck Bookmakers and can be located in between a child day cares facility and a dentist.

If the blueprints are approved, the new vets will create three full-time jobs for the area and will be open six days a week.

All animals will be kennelled within the building.
