An empty unit on Mill Street could become Macclesfield's latest bar.

That is as a change of licence application has been submitted to Cheshire East Council for a premises in a former shop.

98 - 100 Mill Street - which is next to The Shamrock Bar - used to be a school clothing store.

However, following Finesse Schoolwear's move to the Wood Street Mill, Pickford Street, the retail unit has remained empty.

Now, could become a bar as an application to allow the premises to serve alcohol and play music has been submitted.

The application for a premises licence on the Licensing Act 2003 reads:

"Notice is hereby given that I, Ms Tracey Leanne Whitworth, have applied to Cheshire East Council in respect of the premises known as 98-100 Mill Street, Macclesfield, Cheshire, SK11 6NR for a premises licence to provide the following licensable activities:
