Southport Flower Show

[K-T]

I'm sure I saw an item on the news page yesterday saying that this year's flower show had been cancelled, but no sign of it now. Was I dreaming?

It was the top story on this website as well because I commented on it. This morning however it has gone...

There may be some changes to the Agreement:

Question submitted by Councillor Dawson to the Leader of the Council (Councillor Maher) Subject: Victoria Park, Southport I am asking this question to the Leader of the Council as it appears to cross the boundaries of a number of Cabinet portfolios: Planning, Economic Development and Leisure at a minimum.
What is the present state of play in respect of (a) the Cabinet making a POLICY decision in respect of Southport Flower Show (and its management company)'s wishes to alter the agreement between the Flower Show and the Council (as successor trustee to the former Southport County Borough Council of the original gift of the land for the enjoyment of the people of Southport & Birkdale; and (b) any associated planning application? When will these matters be determined?
Response: “Following the withdrawal of the planning application (to extend the number of event days) in July 2020, there have been no further detailed discussions regarding the planning nor lease position. The pandemic significantly disrupted these discussions, and I am therefore currently unable to provide a timeline for their resumption”.
