Mr Walton added: There is a lot of investment coming so keep your eyes peeled. We are planning more events for June and July. The kid s TV show Brainiac will run some workshops during the summer. It will be fun and educational but we are also looking to work with local businesses to help each other out. The Sovereign Centre will be supporting businesses in this wonderful town and is looking to provide a fantastic partnership which offers residents a positive experience and gets visitors exploring other stores.

North Somerset Council has today (Thursday) approved a business plan to repurpose Weston s Sovereign Shopping Centre.
The council s executive approved the plan for the Sovereign Centre and the commissioning plan for the appointment of consultants and contractors to undertake works to convert vacant retail space into new mixed-use space.
The appointment of an operator to manage the space was also agreed by executive members. Any change in name to the Sovereign Centre will be subject to an engagement and consultation exercise.
The first phase of work will create work space on the ground floor, a bike hub to hire and repair bikes and work on the roof’s electrical structure in order to host rooftop events.

New investors could be offered rent-free periods to help revitalise Weston town centre.
North Somerset Council has agreed to a two-year rent-free period for Kerry Michael, of AGM Holdings, who has signed a deal with the authority to take over the SeaQuarium.
The authority has confirmed it would be willing to offer similar deals to other investors to encourage business development in Weston.
SeaQuarium, under Seaquarium Ltd, had been closed since March 2019 with no rent payments made in that time - leading to arrears totalling £116,560.
North Somerset Council said it understands the company has no funds to meet its liability and is expected to be struck off the Register of Companies and dissolved some time after December 27, 2020.”
