If you weren't yet convinced that summer is just around the corner, perhaps the news that Weston-super-Mare's Marine Lake is opening later today (Wednesday, June 1) will help. North Somerset Council has invested £300,000 to make the lake usable as an outdoor swimming and watersports destination for both locals and visitors alike.
The investment is part of the council's £700,000 'Great Lakes' project which also involves work to revitalise Clevedon's Marine Lake and Portishead Lake Grounds. Cllr Mike Solomon, North Somerset Council’s executive member for neighbourhoods and community services, said: “Marine Lake is such an important attraction on Weston’s seafront.
"I'm delighted that this much-needed work to restore the lake means we once again have an all-year-round swimming and watersports destination ready to be enjoyed again by both residents and visitors alike. Huge thanks must go to the volunteers of the Weston Marine Lake Mudlarks for their continued support with this project."
