The borough is internationally recognised for its outstanding natural beauty and commitment to sustainability and has a flourishing visitor economy.

With the famous Antony Gormley’s ‘Another Place’ installation, attractive beaches, dunes and the resort town of Southport, the diversity of the borough provides a unique mix of urban and natural setting.

Here in Sefton our communities look out for each other. We focus on our similarities and diversities but never on our differences, working together to live a fruitful life.
