RESIDENTS will be able to give their feedback on the future of Grange-over-Sands’s historic 1930s former lido site this week.

A consultation event is being held at the town's Victoria Hall on Thursday, from 11am to 7pm.

South Lakeland District Council (SLDC) last year commissioned studies to determine a list of options for the site, including supporting business cases and funding arrangements, to ensure a suitable project can go forward.

This follows the findings of a report in 2015 which concluded that a pool option would not be possible for the site.

Commercial property experts Lambert Smith Hampton (LSH), supported by Amion Consulting and IBI Group, have been carrying out the latest studies, with a brief to investigate non-pool options that are compatible with the Grade 2 listing of the site and that present a sustainable, long-term, proposition that will create a viable community asset.

LSH has already held discussions with key stakeholders, including district and county councils, Grange Town Council and Morecambe Bay Partnership, about potential site options.

The emerging options identified are to refurbish the buildings and structure and open up the site as a functional and flexible public space, suitable for a variety of uses.

Possible uses for the space could include a café, education space or an area for recreational activities.

The group is particularly keen to hear from businesses or commercial operators that may be interested in using the space.

The LSH team will be presenting the options, including visuals and information, at the consultation event.

An information display and feedback forms will be left in the Victoria Hall main foyer until February 3, access from 10am-4pm, for those who cannot attend the consultation.
