Southport theory test centre could return less than a year after shock closure

Southport was rocked when it was decided that the town's driving theory test centre would be leaving, with learner drivers having to trek to either Preston or Liverpool to do their test.

The town kept its practical centre but lost the theory centre in a wide-scale change to facilities available up and down the country last year. Now, less than 12 months later, there has been a motion submitted in a bid to have the facility brought back to the town.

Councillor Leo Evans has proposed that the centre be reinstated ahead of a full council meeting set to take place this week. The motion is set to be supported by Sefton Council, with the facility based on Gordon Street forced to shut its doors in September last year along with the centre in St Helens.
