Crossfield Construction has been appointed to deliver the £3.1m redevelopment of Crosby Lakeside Adventure Centre.
Liverpool City Region Combined Authority is to fund the project, which will see the creation of new hospitality and event facilities, reception areas, overnight accommodation and upgraded M&E.
The centre is situated at the entrance to Crosby Coastal Park and adjacent to Anthony Gormley’s Another Place installation.
Sefton Council’s cabinet last month signed off on the establishment of a wholly-owned company to manage the operation, having also approved a working capital loan of £500,000 to support its launch.
The proposals designed by Imagineering Global on behalf of Sefton Council involve a new 2,200 sq ft events space to be built on hardstanding o the existing building’s west, while a further 38 bed spaces will be provided in a ‘bunkbarn’.

Nationally, £500 million will be given to local councils for additional highways maintenance, with the money expected to fix the equivalent of 10 million potholes across the country. It is the second instalments from the Government’s £2.5 billion Potholes Fund. Liverpool City Region Combined Authority s £31.3million share will be allocated to each of the six councils within it, of which Wirral is part.

A formal application will be made by the combined authority to reinstate the Port of Liverpool’s freeport status despite opposition from Sefton Council on environmental and social grounds.
