A milk and milkshake vending machine is coming to Millbrook after plans were given the green light.

Civic chiefs have approved the proposals by Michelmersh Manor Farm to install the machine outside Costcutter on Oakley Road.

Residents will be able to purchase fresh milk 24 hours a day.

But if they want to shake things up a bit, they can opt for one of the range of syrups available to make a milkshake.

Customers will be able to purchase fresh milk in 1L glass bottles at £1.50 a bottle.

And according to the Michelmersh Manor Farm website, there will also be an option for a reusable glass bottle which costs £2.20.

The application was approved by Southampton City Council on July 19.

The development will begin no later than three years from this date. 

The plans submitted detailed that the landlord of Costcutters, Mr Jatinder Singh, agreed to have the milk vending machine installed on the old entrance to the shop.

Michelmersh Manor Farm is a family-run farm based in Romsey that currently milks around 300 cows on five robotic milking machines.

The farm already has several milk vending machines installed including three in Romsey - Woodley Village Hall, Drummonds Butchers, and the Brazen Butchers.
