00:00New images have revealed plans to expand the Salt and Tar event site in Bootle as part of wider
00:07regeneration proposals. Sefton Council says the Canalside venue could grow into a year-round
00:12destination, with a new covered space allowing events in all seasons. The development would
00:18also include rehearsal and recording facilities, while increasing capacity to around 5,000 people.
00:24A feasibility study suggests the project could support a stronger cultural offer and boost a bid for UK Town of
00:31Culture status.
00:33Council leaders say the scheme would attract more visitors, support local talent and see Bootle continue to build on its
00:39reputation for hosting major cultural events.
