There were reports of problems on the beach, issues with access and the programme of events being beset with long queues
Lessons 'need to be learned' after the problems at Southport Air Show last week, according to a senior opposition councillor.
Long queues were also reported by some visitors to the show, which receives a £400,000 investment from Sefton Council. In previous years, sales of tickets for the event have recouped much of this cost, with ticket sales in 2022 totalling £360,000.
Coun Pugh said: "In the past the Director of Tourism would routinely report to elected councillors every year and be quizzed on the impacts. That level of scrutiny no longer exists – hence the call for a proper report. Responding, a Sefton Council spokesperson said: "It is unfortunate that some people experienced queues when visiting Southport Air Show on Saturday. There was a huge influx of visitors on Saturday, which is usually spread out over the two-day event, as fantastic weather was forecast for Saturday while storms were forecast for Sunday.
