A would-be bingo hall is hoping its numbers come up as the company behind the venture bid for a premises licence in Old Swan.
Merkur Slots UK Limited’s application for a bingo premises licence at the former Barclays bank building on Prescot Road will be heard by Liverpool Council next month. The bank closed its doors in December 2017 and has remained vacant ever since.
The building, which was grade II listed in July 1966, was left behind by Barclays after only 263 regular customers were using the branch and 78% of its users were choosing to bank via other methods. Almost 30 letters have been submitted to the local authority with differing views on how the building should be brought back to use.
