A Merseyside high street is trying to buck the trend of dying trade as it looks to improve even further over the next 12 months and beyond.
Lord Street in Southport has seen an influx in new businesses, as well as plans to bring new ventures onto the main street that runs through the town.
Last year saw independent businesses such as House of Ivy, The Old Bank and Royales introduce themselves to the town centre. This year looks to be no different with impending investment round the corner.
