Promenade cafe to open later than announced
BBCA new promenade cafe which is part of a £12m regeneration project will open later than previously announced.
Cumberland Council, which is managing the work in Maryport, Cumbria, said the facility would now open in time for the school summer holidays in July.
"Although we aimed to have the cafe opened by late May, there were a few final things - legal agreements etc - which take time and have meant the cafe will now open later than planned," a spokesman said.
The project is part of a government-funded regeneration of the town which has seen a skate park and a play area already open nearby.
The town's Maritime Museum was also due to relocate to the refurbished Christ Church, but that part of the project was also hit by several delays.
Cumberland Council said the building work for the cafe was "well under way" and it had appointed Redby Coffee to run the new premises.
Council leader Mark Fryer said connections between the town and the promenade had been improved with the building of a new accessible walkway.
"The promenade cafe is a key part of the regeneration of Maryport and is going to be an amazing destination for locals and visitors alike," he said.
