Plans for a new "balcony bar" have been approved as the latest development in one Merseyside town centre.
Last week, the ECHO reported how St Helens had been shifting the town centre towards a leisure economy- with developments such as the Imperial Quarter and the new container food and drink hub set to open. This trend has continued with plans drawn up to transform a former tattoo studio into a restaurant- with first floor balcony bar.
Ian Pitts, the entrepreneur owner of Imperial, Cork and Dough, and The Terrace- submitted the plans to extend the Secret Garden gin bar on Ormskirk Street. This would be done by developing the premises next door-previously a tattoo studio and clothes store.
