PLANS to fill Bishop’s Waltham’s last empty shop are underway.

The site in Basing Mews, Basingwell Street, is under offer from a local business which is looking to expand.

Amanda Redwin, chairman of the town’s Chamber of Trade, said: “That’s a very positive thing, people expanding in the village.”

She remained tight-lipped on the firm’s identity, saying the deal was in its “early stages”.

The site has been empty since the Acacia gift shop closed in August.
