A self-service laundrette is set to be installed at Warwick's Tesco.

The supermarket chain and Timpson ltd has launched a joint venture to open a Johnson Laundry Kiosk at the Emscote Road store.

Council planners have signed off on the signs for the structure, which will cover two parking spaces.

A Warwick District Council report said: "The proposed signage is appropriate in design terms and characteristic of the wider site, with no public safety concerns identified.

"It is therefore recommended that advertisement consent is granted."

The kiosk will measure 3.4 metres by 2.3 metres by 2.7 metres.

It will sit next to the existing Timpson unit already on site.

"The desire to provide a Johnson's Laundry Kiosk at the Tesco site is part of Timpson Ltd current business plan to increase their portfolio nationwide, there are currently several such kiosks in similar locations across the UK," the application said.

It added: "The look of the kiosk has been designed to retain the recognised Johnsons Specialist Cleaning branding whilst blending with the architectural vernacular of the Tesco store."

The kiosk will be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and would be checked by staff on weekly visits.
