THE SITE of a former American Style Diner could soon be reopening under new management.

An application has been made to convert the vacant 8 Ball Diner at the services off the A12 at Rivenhall.

Precise details of what sort of venue will open there have yet to be revealed but a Mr M Mascar has requested from Braintree Council to be allowed to sell alcohol and to provide regulated entertainment including live music.

He was not available for comment.

The site, located at London Road, Rivenhall End, Witham used to be a popular American style restaurant and car enthusiast meet up spot.
