An “ambitious” project for a major new £73m events centre in a Sefton seaside town has been given government approval.
Plans for the Marine Lake Events Centre on the site of the former Southport Theatre were described as “a really ambitious and impressive local project” which could “revitalise” the fortunes of the town by Levelling Up minister Dehenna Davison.
The comments were made as a business case for the project was approved by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities following a £33m investment in the town as part of the Southport Town Deal.
