There were reports of large queues and problems with accessing the event
Problems at Southport Air Show this weekend mean “lessons need to be learned” according to a senior opposition councillor who has called on Sefton Council to investigate.
In previous years, sales of tickets for the event have recouped much of this cost, with ticket sales in 2022 totalling £360k.Cllr Pugh said the air show is an “important part of the calendar in a town where staging events well is crucial for our prosperity and profile” adding that this means it is important people understand when the reality does not turn out quite as planned.
He said the issue will be raised at full council on Thursday where he will be calling for a “proper report” into what went wrong, adding it was not about “apportioning blame.” He said while the council used to provide feedback in the past, this has stopped in recent years, meaning much needed scrutiny is not taking place.
Responding, a Sefton Council spokesperson said: “It is unfortunate that some people experienced queues when visiting Southport Airshow on Saturday.
