A NEW car wash facility could be added at a garage in the centre of Tranent.

Crystal Clear Car Wash wants to bring the facility to an area of land in the town occupied by Dunwell Motor Group car dealership showroom and car sales.

The car wash, if given the go-ahead by East Lothian Council, would be created at the junction of the town’s High Street and Ormiston Road.

According to the plans, two covered valet bays would be created, alongside two uncovered wash bays and a site office.

Perspex screening from the existing footpath would also be put in place.

A planning application for the proposals has been lodged with the local authority’s planning department and a decision is expected by the middle of October.

Drawings show the existing business remaining on the site.
