Phone repair shop plans for former Shropshire micro-pub

The pub closed in December last year

Plans to convert a former micro-pub in Newport into a phone repair shop have been revealed.

Yorkshire-based Durward Kingsley Estates Limited have lodged plans to covert the former home of The Snuggery Tap in Newport.

The pub, which opened in 2019, closed in December last year and has remained vacant in the months since.

According to planning documents submitted to Telford & Wrekin Council, the incoming tenant wishes to occupy the unit as a mobile phone repair shop.

The application states: “No building work is required other than the tenant's choice of internal work which will likely comprise of repainting and fitting a service desk and shelves.”

The proposal will be considered by council planning officers in the coming weeks.
