A FORMER barber shop at the southern end of Garsington Road is set to become into a pizza parlour after owners were given the thumbs-up from Oxford City Council.

Planning permission was granted this week for a change of use from A1 (barber shop) to A5 (hot food takeaway) and the installation of a flue at number 206, formerly The Oxford Men's Barber, which is sited near Oxford Retail Park. It will be open from 11am to 11pm every day of the week.
