The redevelopment of Marine Lake has taken a step closer to becoming a reality.
Sefton Council has submitted a planning application for The Marine Lake Events Centre & Water and Light Show. Should the planning application be approved, The MLEC is expected to bring more than half a million visitors to Southport every year, while generating an annual £18 million for the local economy.
The submission made on Tuesday, July 6 follows a detailed public consultation process held by the council, which showed that 84% of residents and businesses in the resort are in favour of the MLEC being created. The new development will provide first-class theatre space, a conference and exhibition centre able to accommodate a wide range of events, and a café and signature restaurant, providing facilities for both visitors and the community alike.
