A former high street retail store will be transformed into a new go-karting track. 

Earlier this year it was announced that Flip Out submitted a planning application to take over the former Debenhams store in Colchester. 

The plans showed the first floor would have trampolines and the second floor would be converted into a go-karting track. 

Another addition to the site will be an axe-throwing and mini golf bar.

Colchester City Council has confirmed that the changes to the store in Culver Street West will be coming soon. 

An announcement on social media said: "The huge transformation at the former Debenhams will feature an incredible electric go-kart track alongside on the UK's best entertainment zones!"

The new trampoline park could create up to 50 full time jobs in the area.
