Sefton Council purchased Bootle Strand Shopping Centre in 2017 as a key part of its commitment to regenerate the town centre.
Town centres have changed a lot in the last few years, with the growth of online shopping and people looking for a different experience when they visit.
Looking Ahead
Sefton Council have a clear ambition and commitment to ensure that the Strand is sustainable economically, socially and environmentally. We will do this by:
- Encouraging different types of business to move into the town centre, including leisure, culture and night-time businesses
- Working with Partners to provide services that improve the health and wellbeing of the Bootle community
- Enabling the shopping centre to connect more with the wider community and local assets, for example the canal, and improving accessibility across the town centre for residents, businesses and visitors
- Promoting a socially inclusive and welcoming town centre to reflect the strong values of the Bootle community
- Developing a strong and positive town centre identity and brand
- Raising the profile of Bootle to encourage investment from Central Government, partners such as Health and the private sector
Please watch this short fly-through, which takes viewers through and around the Strand’s new and remodelled spaces, including the completely transformed outdoor Mons Square.
We are committed to making culture and community the cornerstones of Bootle’s future. By creating a more ambitious and inclusive town centre we want to bring people in, both local residents and visitors, who might otherwise spend their time and money in other places.
The Strand will remain open during all of the demolition and redevelopment works, with disruption to customers and businesses kept to a minimum. So please keep visiting the Shopping Centre and supporting all the businesses and organisations that are based there.
