Work has started on Alsager's Starbucks drive-thru near the new superstore in the town.

Cheshire East's planners gave approval for the application 24/2767C here in November last year and now workmen have been spotted on the site - on the former Twyford Bathrooms site off Linley Lane.

No date has been given for when the work will finish and the opening of the drive-thru Starbucks but the company has has applied to the council for the discharge of condition six on the application which can be viewed here

"It is expected that the vast majority of vehicular trips to the coffee shop would consist of supermarket customers that call in as part of a shopping trip, or vehicles passing the site on Linley Lane calling in as part of a wider journey."
