YOU WONT BELIEVE: 73 million that could revitalise town given green light - You Need To See This

Southport’s Marine Lake Events Centre reached a milestone this week after it was approved by Sefton Council.

Planning approval for the state-of-the-art, £73 million, facility has been given the green light, and work is to begin this summer. Based on the site of the former Southport Theatre, it is hoped that the Marine Lake Events Centre will bring in more than half a million new visitors to Southport each year and generate an annual £18 million for the local economy.

The Marine Lake Events Centre is one of the schemes being developed as a result of the successful bid for £37.5m of Town Deal funding for Southport.
