Published: 6/10/2025

Southport's Town Hall gardens are set for a £10m revamp inspired by three young victims of a tragic knife attack, Elsie Dot Stancombe, Alice Aguiar, and Bebe King. The families envision a new community space centered around the girls' love for dance and music, aiming to create a vibrant and safe area for creativity. Supported by government funding and local authorities, the project aims to honor the girls' memory while providing a lasting symbol of hope for Southport.
