Construction News Image
Cumberland Council has approved plans to imrpove and upgrade Maryport's Wave Centre.

Work can now start on the building, boosting facilities for locals and visitors of all ages. It's part of a multi-million pound investment project which aims to revitalise the town’s high street, harbourside and promenade.

A new adventure play centre for young children, improvements to the Clip n' Climb attraction, new multipurpose studio spaces, a community meeting space, party rooms and a better gymnasium will all now be created. Outside there will be a new bike hub, along with more attractive landscaping. The entrance area will be improved and staff offices moved upstairs to free up space on the ground floor to make space for these new facilities.

Cumberland Council is managing the Wave project, and Maryport's wider investment.

Councillor Mark Fryer, the Leader of the Council, said: "This is a bold step forwards in the next phase of Maryport’s transformation.

"Now it is the turn of the Wave to receive some investment. Local people told us they wanted more facilities for children and young people and that is a key part of what we will do next, at the Wave and on the prom and harbourside generally. We will be lodging more planning applications in January for a splash park, outdoor event space, an improved Shiver Me Timbers play area, and an amazing new promenade café and beach shop.

"We are already well ahead with the renovation of Christ Church and the Carlton, the new Shipping Brow Gallery is open and looking fantastic, all the Love Maryport Living residential scheme properties are now underway, the Boardwalk will be finished soon, and our shop front initiative has brightened up some key high street businesses. These are exciting times in Maryport."
