A hotel or cinema could boost a town's economy, people suggest, as a council asks for views on a shopping centre.
Knowsley Council previously announced it had completed the purchase of the Prescot shopping centre, several nearby units and the car park in a £1.3m deal which will see a partner company Workman LLP run the centre. The former Stephenson’s Printworks could be demolished as part of plans for the site although the council said there are no plans currently.
The town has been undergoing something of a renaissance of late, with the opening of the Shakespeare North Playhouse seen as a major boon for Prescot. The town is home to the only 17th-century style, timber-built "Cockpit" theatre outside London.
