'Charming' UK seaside town with abandoned lido to transform with £6.8m plan
A UK seaside town once famed for its bustling outdoor Lido has unveiled ambitious plans to transform the area after it fell into disrepair. However, the £6.8m project has been hit with several delays An 'idyllic' seaside town surrounded by unspoilt countryside aims to refurbish the abandoned lido that's been tarnishing its image. Tucked away in rural Cumbria, and just a stone's throw from the acclaimed Lake District, lies Grange-over-Sands - a coastal gem that has managed to preserve its Victorian and Edwardian elegance despite much of the UK coast falling into demise. It boasts a 2.4-mile-long promenade, stretching from Blawith Point to the railway station, and a vibrant range of cafes and restaurants. Despite tempting views of golden sands and refreshing waters, Grange-over-Sands ' beach is actually a wide expanse of salt marsh. Walking on here isn't advised due to patches of dangerous quicksand - but it still makes for an Instagram-worthy snap. For years, a soft-sand beach and swimmable sea wasn't really needed - as the town lured in swathes of holidaymakers with its iconic lido. However, in 1993 - the outdoor pool closed and fell into repair. Images of the Grade 2 listed building show how the site has become somewhat of an eye-sore, filled with stagnant water and patches of uncontrollable weeds that seem worlds away from its glory days. "Grange Baths became a focal point for the community with bathers coming from far and wide by train on the Furness Line – a part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway," explained Save Grange Lido, a charity group calling for the pool to be brought back to life. "The pool hosted many events over the years including beauty contests, competitive galas and synchronised swimming. It was the place to be seen on a summer's day." Luckily, in 2023 work began on restoring the Grange Lido and Promenade, as part of a huge £6.8 million fund. Almost £5 million was allocated to opening the lido up to the public again - but with a temporary infill to the pool that would allow the area to be used as a 'multi-use' public space for the local community and visitors. Those wanting to don their Speedos and have a dip will have to be patient, as the future of the lido's pool return still depends on the council being satisfied with several pieces of criteria. This includes the necessary capital costs being raised and a 'robust and viable' business case. "Work on the 1,900m-long promenade will include the removal of unstable sections of the sea defence wall; the application of a durable coating to the upper surface of the promenade; and, a combination of pre-cast and in situ concrete repairs to the upper edge 'bull nose' and sea-facing elevation of the sea wall," Westmorland and Furness Council said. "The work also includes connectivity works to link the promenade to the town; public realm furniture; signage; improvements to railings; and a new child's playground area." In February 2023, the council confirmed the works would take 14 months to complete and would begin towards the end of March or the beginning of April - later than the February start date put forward by Councillor Jonathan Brook in 2022. Last month it was revealed that the refurbishment had been hit with even more delays due to problems with concrete repairs. Westmorland and Furness Council said the additional setbacks meant it was 'unlikely' the project would be completed this summer - and that a new reopening date will be confirmed in the coming weeks. "While it is frustrating that the construction phase must be extended due to further assessment of the repairs required to complete the project, it highlights the complexity of working with historic assets of this nature," Cllr Brook added. "It is important that we get this right, understanding that the lido project seeks to restore this important structure after more than 30 years of closure and several previous attempts to bring it back to life."

£150,000 Investment Supports Restoration of Historic Cliff Railway Carriages
A £150,000 investment by the Development Bank of Wales in the Cliff Railway in Aberystwyth has put the iconic tourist attraction on track for a bumper season. 75,000 visitors are expected to experience the newly refurbished Victorian railway carriages this year. Run by Constitution Hill Limited, Aberystwyth Cliff Railway is the second longest electric funicular cliff railway in Great Britain at 778 feet long. It's been an Aberystwyth landmark since 1896 and was electrified in 1921 before becoming a Grade II listed structure in 1987. The loan from the Development Bank has been used to carry out essential maintenance work to the Victorian carriages. Having safeguarded 20 jobs and created two new jobs, the investment has been welcomed by the First Minister of Wales who visited the Cliff Railway with colleagues Huw Irranca-Davies MS, Deputy First Minister and Julie James MS, Minister for Delivery/Counsel General. Eluned Morgan, First Minister of Wales, said: 'Tourism is one of the most important industries in Wales, contributing over £6.2 billion to Welsh GDP and more than 172,000 jobs. 'I'm pleased the Welsh Government, via the Development Bank, is providing support so that attractions like the Cliff Railway can bring in visitors, create new jobs and continue their important contribution to the local economy in Aberystwyth.' The Victorian carriages are powered by motor and high-tensile steel cables supported by a sophisticated electronic safety system. They travel to the summit of Constitution Hill at four miles per hour, venturing through a deep cutting, where 12,000 tons of rock were excavated to allow the winding footpath to cross via a series of bridges overhead. Once at the top of the summit, visitors can enjoy spectacular views of Aberystwyth, Cardigan Bay and 26 Welsh mountain peaks. One of the world's largest camera obscuras offers a bird's eye view of 1000 square miles of land and seascape. There is also a children's play area, a gift shop, a cafe and plenty of open spaces for picnics and walking. Robert Gray, Director of Constitution Hill Limited, said: 'Our railway is an iconic attraction and an important part of local heritage. It's enjoyed by thousands of visitors each year, most of whom go on to spend time and money in the local area. The support of Welsh Government and the funding from the Development Bank has made the biggest difference to the future sustainability of the railway; allowing us to carry out essential maintenance work and invest in our facilities for the benefit of local people and visitors alike.' Clare Sullivan is a Regional Manager for the Development Bank. She said: 'The Cliff Railway is a well-established and popular tourism attraction that has continued to invest heavily with the introduction of indoor and weather resilient facilities to encourage visitors all year round. As an affordable day-out for the family, it's a must-do activity when in the local area so we're pleased to have been able to help keep it on track by funding the much-needed repair works.' The £150,000 loan for Constitution Hill Limited came from the £50 million Wales Tourism Investment Fund. Financed entirely by Welsh Government, the fund offers loans from £100,000 to £5 million with repayment terms of 10-15 years for distinctive, stand-out tourism projects that align with the priorities of Welsh Government.
