Can an ambitious vision and project for Ellesmere Port improve the town?

'Transforming Ellesmere Port Town Centre' aims to break the cycle of town centre decline through delivering new footfall and spending power into the heart of the town centre.

It comes as Poundland's Ellesmere Port store shuts just four months after opening. The popular variety store chain only launched its town centre base in October last year after moving into the former Wilko branch.

The company has blamed difficult trading conditions for its decision to close for good.
