THOUSANDS of motorists are being directed to a Chester massage parlour by Highways Agency road signs.

Diversions at major roadworks in Shotwick are alerting drivers that they can gain access to The Bungalow.

The business, which offers customers various services in its pink room and red room, is yards from the A550 on the Cheshire-Flintshire border.

Owner Bonnie Westgarth applied to Chester City Council in September to change the use of the building to a massage parlour.

Now, due to the £58m Deeside Park Junction Improvement project, thousands of road users will be able to find it.

Highways Agency spokeswoman Barbara Phillips said: “As part of the Deeside junction improvement works, the black and yellow signs have been put up to alert individuals using the business that they can still gain access.

“As far as we are aware, the business is a massage parlour but if someone came to us to say it was an illegal business then the signs would come down.”

The temporary signs will be removed once the works have been completed.

Staff at The Bungalow have declined to comment.
