Car wash bid that split community is rejected

A FAMILY-RUN car wash that has split the community is set to close after retro spective planning permission was turned down.

Planners said the business was in the wrong area and created too much noise and disruption for neighbours.

Several letters of support had been sent to Coventry City Council appealing for the car wash in the car park of the Wals-grave Club to be granted permission.

They said that it was a well-run business that had become part of the community.

But other neighbours objected stating the noise from the venture had made their lives a misery.
