00:00Demolition work at Bootle Strand has finished, marking a major step in a £30 million town centre regeneration scheme.
00:08Residents say the project could bring new life to the area with plans for a new public square, while the
00:14salt and tar venue is being expanded.
00:16Despite the progress, noisy work is still ongoing behind hoardings.
00:20However, some have raised concerns about affordability of parking and whether new businesses can afford rents.
00:28Sefton Council says further surveys are underway and work will continue towards the next phase, with new tenants being sought
00:35for vacant units across the wider shopping centre site.
00:39Officials say the aim is a diverse and sustainable mix of operators.
