A self-service laundrette could 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.

A planning application has been lodged with Warwick District Council for the structure, which would cover two parking spaces.

"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.

Designs for the proposed laundry unit

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

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

"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 application added.

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