The owner of a historic arcade has revealed plans to transform the venue into an "iconic" resort that could be at the heart of New Brighton's regeneration.
The New Palace Arcade and Adventureland has been in the Wilkie family for five generations, though its current landlord, Dave Wilkie, is the first member of his family to own the venue outright. The last few years have seen a lot of speculation about the future of the 1930s building, but Dave has now revealed plans to redevelop the site into hotels, apartments and a state-of-the-art arcade.
He said: "I’m working at the moment to a put together a pre-planning application. I'm working closely with the local authorities to help the regeneration of New Brighton.
