A derelict pub next to a busy beach has taken a step closer to reopening.
The Sands pub in Ainsdale was listed with Savills estate agents, with potential tenants asked to send in their plans for the pub before July 1 this year. The pub was available for a 125-year-long leasehold with proposals for the redevelopment encouraged over a number of months this summer.
Sefton Council listed the pub with the hope of finding someone who will transform it. Should the proposals be accepted by the council, the preferred developer will be granted a building licence whereby, on completion of the redevelopment work, the leasehold would be granted.
