Pontins has stunned both holidaymakers and staff by announcing the sudden closure of its Southport park in Merseyside, following the shutdown of parks in Prestatyn, North Wales and Camber Sands
Staff at the Southport park site in Merseyside claim they found out by text they had lost their jobs just hours before the shock announcement was made.
Southport's Conservative MP Damien Moore has urged businesses to see the closure of Pontins in Southport as an opportunity as the holiday park closes without any notice
