A Merseyside businessman has called for a fund to help art, music and performance lead a revival of Merseyside post Eurovision.
Dan Davies, the CEO of Rockpoint Leisure, has been helping regenerate New Brighton in recent years providing funding for people to start new businesses, supporting local music bands, and using street art to revive the seaside town.
Now he believes the Liverpool City Region and local councils should be capitalising on the success of the iconic music contest which brought half a million people and an expected £40m into the region in order to create a “lasting legacy."
