A historic park in Southport is set to be refurbished after a “generous” donation.
Sefton Council has announced that Hesketh Park in Southport has been bequeathed £850k by neighbours of the park and long-term supporters, Louis and Anita Marks.
The bequest to Hesketh Park from the trustees of the Marks Family Trust could be used on a full refurbishment of the conservatory, improvements to a sensory garden at the 12 hectare site and the refurbishment of key heritage features including a fountain, waterfall and floral clock.
