A planning application (DC/2025/00185) has been submitted to Sefton Council proposing the conversion of the long-disused public toilets on Furness Avenue, Formby (L37 4DL), into a vibrant office, business, and community hub. The facility, unused for over two decades, is set to be revitalized by Roots of Formby Ltd, aiming to provide employment for one full-time and two part-time staff members.

The proposed change of use from its original ‘sui generis’ classification reflects a commitment to repurposing neglected spaces for community benefit. Residents and interested parties are encouraged to review the detailed plans and submit any comments or objections through the official Sefton Council planning portal.
This initiative represents a significant investment in the local area, promising to enhance community engagement and support local businesses.
