Company behind ambitious 'cove' plans struck off and dissolved

The company behind plans to transform part of Southport has dissolved.

Go Surf Limited, the company that lodged plans to create "Southport Cove" where Princes Park currently sits in Southport town centre has dissolved, leaving question marks over the ambitious plans. The original plans looked to transform the park into a leisure beach and surfing pool.

The plans were formally released in October 2020, with the co-founder of the now-dissolved company, Tony Howard, telling the ECHO earlier this year that he hoped to reinvent the town's open-air bathing lake that once occupied Ocean Plaza. He said: “The waterfront has so much potential, but I believe it requires ambitious, modern-day attractions and experiences to appeal to a broader audience from all parts of the UK and perhaps beyond.
