OWNERS of Carousel Childrenswear, in Barrowford, are hoping to expand their business.

They have applied to Pendle Council for permission to extend the shop into the first floor of the building at 98-100 Gisburn Road.

The application is also for the installation of a fire escape staircase at the back of the building.

Members of the Barrowford and Western Parishes Committee will discuss the application at their next meeting on March 13.

Other items to be discussed will include a two-storey rear extension at 19 Wheatley Lane Road, in Barrowford, and a barn conversion and installation of a septic tank at Burn Moor End Farm, in Wheathead Lane, Blacko.
