Comment from Michael Gove on his visit to Southport

"I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Southport Market today. It was great to speak with such brilliant local businesses and to learn more about their experiences.

"I’m pleased to see how this funding from the Government, as championed by Damien Moore MP, has resulted in a beautiful transformation of the town and this amazing market.

"As this is the first big instalment in a series of investment, I look forward to seeing how the Towns Fund will continue to drive Southport’s bright future."
