A CLOSED card shop could become a restaurant.

A planning application has been submitted to Thurrock Council to develop Cameo Cards, Grover Walk, Corringham into a restaurant.

The application, which can be seen on the council website, states the new restaurant would serve hot and cold desserts such as ice cream, crepes, waffles and also tea and coffee.

If approved there would be three full time and two part time staff at the restaurant.

The applicant is currently awaiting a decision on the application.
