A FORMER men's social club is set to house a youth club and an art/photography gallery.

Owner Nicholas Ridley has been granted conditional approval for proposals to convert the building in Mill Cross, in Kingston St Mary.

The fortnightly youth club for young people in the area currently meets on Friday evenings in the village hall and will be held on the first floor.

Mr Ridley would convert the ground floor of the building, which was sold in 2016, for his personal use and not as a commercial business.
