A new video explaining the benefits of the Lord Street Living initiative in Southport town centre has been released by Sefton Council and its partners.
Lord Street Living’s aim is to encourage the conversion of currently vacant space on the upper floors of the famous thoroughfare’s historic buildings into high-quality residential properties.
In the new video, the Council’s economic growth team highlights the benefits of living at the heart of Southport. These include easy access to employers, the town’s shops, public transport and the growing range of leisure entertainment venues.
They also cover the positive economic impacts that increasing residential space would have on Southport town centre.
And they talk about the support they can provide to building owners and potential investors in Lord Street.

Cllr Paulette Lappin, Sefton Council’s Cabinet member for Regeneration, Economy & Skills said:
“We are working closely with Liverpool City Region Combined Authority and Historic England on the Lord Street Living initiative, which will help the revitalisation of Southport or its residents, its businesses and its visitors.
“Our shared aim is to encourage the development of vacant spaces above shops on Lord Street while at the same time protecting its rich heritage.
“We want to hear from building owners and those interested in investing in Lord Street to understand the challenges and discuss how we can support them, and this new video explains some of the ways we can do that.
“Anyone who shares our ambitions for Lord Street Living and Southport can find out more about the scheme at www.lordstreetliving.org or contact the team at LordStreet.Living@sefton.gov.uk
