A FORMER police station in Atherton could be turned into a car wash.

The building and land on Bag Lane was marketed last year by estate agent Rightmove at a price of £75,000.

An application has now been submitted to Wigan Council by Hama Rasheed requesting permission to turn the former police station into a hand car wash and valeting service and to make alterations to the existing vehicular access.

Anyone who wishes to object to or support the application should e-mail planningrepresentations@wigan.gov.uk or write to the director economy and skills places directorate, Wigan Council, PO Box 100, Wigan, WN1 3DS, by February 7, quoting reference A/17/83328/CU.
