DRINKERS in Moredon can get themselves a pint of beer and have the car washed at the same time.

Arkell's brewery, the owners of the Boundary House on the corner of The Street and Purton Road in the north Swindon suburb have applied for planning permission to install a car wash in the pub's car park.

The application is for the erection of a temporary canopy - of the type used at outdoor events - and a storage container to be placed in the corner of the car park furthest away from the pub's building.

The area of the car park earmarked for the car wash slopes down towards the road and drawings submitted to Swindon Borough Council's planning department suggest water used in the washing and valeting of cars will be directed into drains running along the centre of the car park.

Comments on the application must be made by Tuesday October 23.
