Your local Lib Dem Councillors were dismayed recently on a visit to the Marine Lake. As councillor Sue McGuire explained “I was shocked by the amount of litter around the lake so I asked Leisure Services to tidy up the area. I also asked for a new bin and am very pleased to see 2 new bins have been installed. There are now 6 bins from the Promenade steps to the Vitalise site so I hope we can keep on top of litter here if everyone uses the bins provided although a lot of the litter is debris from the swans or windblown from other areas of the lake.
Sue added “I know there are plans to regenerate this area but this depend very much on funding becoming available.”
*The top corner of the land around the Marine Lake is privately owned having been given away by Southport Conservatives in 1972. In 2007 local Lib Dem Councillors Sue McGuire and Carmel Preston challenged the owner of the land to move an incorrectly placed fence , they also worked to get the removed so that the path around the lake was re-instated.
