A NEW tearoom could open in the city’s South Side if planners approve.

The plans to turn a former betting shop on Pollokshaws Road into the tea room were submitted to the local authority last week.

Now the council planners will decide whether or not the change of use can be granted.

A decision is expected to be made by Tuesday, May 26.
