Hello and welcome to this afternoon's Our Liverpool.

The news that Wetherspoons has decided to pull the plug on a £3m revamp of the Master Mariner in New Brighton has frustrated many.

Hundreds have had their say since the news broke yesterday, including the Wallasey MP who said she was "incredibly disappointed" at the "total disarray" the pub has been left in. She called it an "unwelcome eyesore" in the area, and said Wetherspoons had left the pub "far worse off than they found it."

A spokesperson for the pub chain said they "understand the disappointment" at the decision, and said they will be "shortly erecting hoardings" around the site to improve its visual appearance.
