A VEGAN restaurant in Boscombe has applied for a licence to sell alcohol.

Dirty Vegans in Christchurch Road opened at the beginning of March and opens seven days a week selling wholly animal-free food and drink.

Last week its owner Aaron Bryans applied to BCP Council seeking permission to sell alcohol from 12-10pm each day from the former Hot Pan Grill site.

Members of the public will be able to give their views on the application until June 10.

After that date the application will be considered by BCP Council licensing officers before a decision on whether to approve the request is made.
