A FORMER hairdressers salon in the centre of Wellington could be converted into a bar.

Karina Macri has applied for a change of use permission to site the mini pub in vacant premises at 5 High Street.

In an application to planners at Somerset West and Taunton Council, Miss Macri says she wants to create "a small freehouse that listens to its customers".

She adds that the outlet would serve cask/craft ales and ciders.
