New Pleasureland Update: Thursday 20 March 2008 - 2 PM

BBC Radio Merseyside News have today announced that Urban Splash have been chosen by Sefton Council to redevelop Southport seafront including the Pleasureland site. They will be consulting local people.

Nothing on their website yet http://www.urbansplash.co.uk/

More details in this BBC report:

Notice it says the "now closed" Pleasureland site.

New Pleasureland's opening date for the summer season was scheduled for 15th March. This was postponed until Good Friday 21st March as some rides were not ready on time partly due to bad weather. The site has been tidied up, buildings have been painted and fencing has been repaired on the site. A Mad Mouse coaster is also being built for the summer season. The old Traumatizer station has also been demolished.

Members of the North West Coastal Resorts forum are currently considering an online petition to the Prime Minister to halt the decline of our coastal resorts.
When it is on line, I will be posting a link.
