SUNSHINE and fresh air is on the menu for patrons of Bury's oldest hostelry.

The Two Tubs public house in The Wylde has been granted planning permission to create a beer garden on land currently used as a car park.

The area will be flagged with natural York stone and stone setts. There will be seating and an area of limited planting all enclosed by wrought iron railings and gates.

The new beer garden will alleviate problems of customers drinking on the pavement outside the Listed Building pub.
