Travelling from Southport to Lifeboat Road Formby.Access will be difficult to the beach

A spokesperson for Green Sefton commented...

From Monday 6 September the boardwalk at Lifeboat Road will be closed so that we can carry out essential repairs to the fence.

The team need to take a closer look before confirming what materials are needed and how long the repairs will take. We know how important this access route is to the beach and will keep you updated as work progresses.

Alternative accessible routes to the beach can be found at both Ainsdale and Southport where cars can be parked on the beach up until 30th September.

Don’t forget to check tide times before you visit as high tides can reduce the size of these car parks or at times mean they are closed temporarily.

Thank you for your support and understanding.
