Town Deal funding will help to diversify Southport’s economy and make the seaside resort a place that millions of people will want to visit throughout the year.
The Government allocated £37.5million in funding to Southport in the 2021 Spring Budget, after the Town Deal board submitted a range of projects which demonstrated that they could create jobs and attract further investment.
Central to Southport’s ambitions is the delivery of a new theatre, events and conference centre which will be bustling all year round.
Infrastructure work will support Southport Pleasureland’s ambitions to become an all-weather attraction that entertains visitors across all 12 months.
