An historic Merseyside building that has been closed for more than nine years is one step closer to reopening.
In December popular coffee shop Moose announced its plans to take over part of The Carnegie Library in Crosby which was shut down by the council in 2013. Plans have now been formally submitted by developer Cunard Construction (CC) Ltd to turn the library into "office space, a digital hub", and a "family restaurant."
The developers hope to "promote economic growth, tourism, and jobs creation" to help the borough of Sefton "diversify and thrive". The application was submitted to the council on January 3.
