A NEW tea shop may be on its way to Upton.

Paula Stagg, from Colwall, has applied to Malvern Hills District Council for permission to convert a cottage in Church Street into a tea room.

Mrs Stagg plans to sell tea, coffee and a range of homemade cakes, pastries and salads.

Mrs Stagg said: "I have driven past the cottage so many times and I've always thought it would make a lovely little tea room. I'd like to think it will fit in with the town and be fairly well received."
