So Southport has lost out in the government’s big game of chance. But would a new casino, albeit a ‘small’ one compared to Manchester’s ‘super casino’, really have been something we would have wanted anyway?
At least we didn’t gamble the family silver on the bid, unlike our friends in Blackpool who were prepared to stake their town’s future on the wager.
Those in the know say it’s not even a minor set back as Southport is already holding a winning hand which includes an array of developments and schemes which should bring home the chips.
While we know Sefton is not to get a casino, those unbendable iron men on Crosby beach are refusing to pack up and leave.
Supporters of Antony Gormley’s ‘newish’ model army are preparing their final assault in their campaign to ensure these ferrous fellows become permanent residents of the borough.
But don’t miss this Friday’s Southport Visiter to find out just how much it will cost the tax payer to keep the iron men in Sefton, and who in Southport is likely to lose out if the campaign is successful.
