A SUPERMARKET has applied to sell alcohol around the clock.

Tesco, in Great Notley, already stays open for 24 hours a day but can only offer beer, wine and spirits for sale between 6am and 11pm.

A spokesman said: “The application is to request that we are allowed to sell alcohol during all of our operating hours, as we are a 24 hour store. This is following feedback from customers.”

The application has been lodged with Braintree Council, anyone wishing to make a representation must do so in writing to the council by October 29.
