Mouldy and damp walls, stained bathrooms, and broken doors - the Pontins site has long been a topic of frustration in the Ainsdale community.
Owned by Britannia Hotels - which was recently named the worst UK hotel chain for the tenth year in a row - Pontins has come under fire amid a string of horror stay stories. The ECHO has repeatedly reported on the slew of first hand accounts from revolted guests, including one woman who said her family holiday was ruined by "p****d up parents and drugs everywhere".
During an ongoing public consultation by Sefton Council, the seaside holiday park was labelled as the "biggest blight on Ainsdale" by Conservative MP for Southport Damien Moore. Mr Moore, who has been MP for the area since 2017, previously called Pontins' "constant bad publicity" damaging to Southport's standing.
