Wirral Council has cancelled all performances at New Brighton's Floral Pavilion until the end of September.

The theatre was scheduled to open its doors in August but concerns over Covid-19 have pushed back the reopening.

A council spokesperson said the decision was made for public and staff safety: "The decision has had to be made this early in August to allow the Floral Pavilion to contact ticket holders, show producers and promoters in appropriate time."

Wirral currently has the second lowest rate of positive Covid cases across the six Liverpool city regions.

It reported 287 positive cases per 100,000 people last week, compared to the region average of 325.
