What's needed for a coastal town to be successful?
A theme park? A beach? A pier? A high street? According to The Telegraph, this isn't enough. In a scathing article published on its website, The Telegraph ranked Southport as the 14th worst seaside town in the UK.
Southport may have seen what some claim as a managed decline heading into the Covid-19 pandemic, but following spells of lockdowns, staycations and trips across the country are popular again. People living in Southport see the pros and cons of the town, whether that be the bustling nightlife or empty units that plague Lord Street, but many disagreed with the brutal ranking from the national title.
