Les Transformation de Southport – The Promenade Concept Design

Sefton Council want your views on the proposed changes to Southport Promenade to support the delivery of 'Les Transformations de Southport'.

The Promenade concept design includes the Promenade between Nevill Street to Seabank Road.  The proposed design will better connect the town centre and the waterfront with new public spaces and road crossings for people.  We want to make it easier for everyone to access the new Marine Lake Events Centre (MLEC) and provide a better setting for the new multi-million pound MLEC development.   

The improvement scheme is currently at the concept design stage, which is very early in the design process, and people can help decide what happens next.

What is Les Transformation de Southport? 

A project called Les Transformations de Southport is happening in Southport. It is inspired by Prince Louis Napoleon, who liked Lord Street. The project got money from the Town Deal fund to improve public spaces. 

The project wants to make it easier to walk and cycle around Southport. It will connect the town centre and the waterfront better. New public spaces will also be made for people to enjoy. 

The first part of the project is changing roads near Southport Market. These changes have started and will make the area nicer. This is just the beginning, and more improvements will come later. 

Why now and why the Promenade?  

The project will improve the area outside the Marine Lake Events Centre. This will help people enjoy the space more and make the space safer. The project will support the MLEC design and make the area better by providing better paths and with the planting of trees. 

The Promenade links the MLEC, local people, and transport like trains. The new design will make it easier to walk, cycle, or take the train when making a journey to the MLEC. 

Why and why now? 

  • We want to make it easy to get to the Marine Lake Events Centre. 

  • We need safe paths and roads to the Marine Lake Events Centre. 

  • We want better ways to travel between the town centre and the seafront. 

  • Our plans should match the Marine Lake Events Centre timeline. 

  • Our plans should fit with local cycling and walking routes. 

The improvements will help the community and visitors to access the Marine Lake Events Centre and seafront. 

Copies of the plans for the Promenade can be found on the individual pages as part of the questionnaire or at the bottom of the first page of this survey.
