An area of Merseyside has been left in "complete disarray" after JD Wetherspoon pulled out of a key project.
The Master Mariner in New Brighton, Wirral, had been the subject of a £3 million revamp which included expanding into the adjoining Lacy’s Bar. The pub originally opened in 2013 on the site of the former RJs and the Playas Lounge nightclubs.
In March 2022 the seaside bar and restaurant closed as work began on the transformation. Work was set to be completed in August of the same year but the pub chain announced that its doors had to remain closed while works continued, with no date given when people could return.
