BINGO players could soon be getting their eyes down in a former shoe shop in Taunton.

Merkur Slots UK Ltd has applied for a bingo premises licence at 9 North Street, in the county town.

The building is currently vacant and was previously occupied by ECCO Shoes.

Somerset West and Taunton Council is being asked to grant the licence.

People have until June 3 to make representations to the council.

The premises is sandwiched between Greggs and a charity shop.
