A DERELICT eyesore will be bulldozed if the owners fail to restore it, Winsford Town councillors were told at a meeting on Monday.

The dilapidated Liquid Lounge on New Road has sat empty for more than 10 years. A devastating fire gutted the inside of the former club in 2013.

Cllr Brian Clarke told members that a notice has been served on the two owners of the building and they have until March 2019 to complete the remedial work.

Cllr Clarke said; “The notice served on the two owners means they must restore the building back to its original state or if they fail to do this the council will demolish it and charge them for the demolition.”

Cllr Mike Baynham had previously met with Sandbach MP Antoinette Sandbach to discuss an action plan.

Cllr Baynham said: “We have been working on this for many months. All that we can hope is that the work can be done quickly and that the land owners are compliant with the council."
