A Merseyside town centre is set to see a major overhaul in the coming months.
St Helens town centre has struggled in recent years with dropping footfall and massive retailers such as Marks and Spencer pulling out. In a bid to breathe new life into the town centre, the council and private investors have launched plans to boost the leisure and night time economy of the area.
The Imperial Quarter, a food and drink hub, is set to open in coming weeks- with heavy investment from Ian Pitts, the entrepreneur owner of Cork & Dough restaurant, Imperial Bar, the Secret Garden and The Church- all in Ormskirk Street. The opening of the Quarter is not the only food and drink venue set for St Helens in the coming months.
