A bid to open a sex shop next door to a store that sells school uniforms in Truro has been greeted with dismay.

The planning application from Mrs Palm Ltd asks to open the sex shop on Little Castle Street, next door to Trevails School Uniforms.

A Mrs Palm company spokesman, Braxton Reynolds said that the street had been chosen as it was a specialist shopping area and that it was “appropriate”.

However some store owners are promising to object against the application.
