A NEW convenience store looks destined to open in Southampton – in a unit that has been empty since 2018.

Nisa has applied for a premises licence at 33 London Road, which was last occupied by Seven Oaks Sound and Vision.

If approved, the company will be able to sell alcohol from the shop from 7am to 11pm every day.

This suggests Nisa is close to opening in the city centre.

Currently, the licensing application is open for consultation until March 3.

A city council officer will then make a decision.
