A MERSEYSIDE landmark is set to be bathed in bright light.
The iconic 20 metre-high Dream sculpture, in St Helens, will be illuminated from next Tuesday following an extensive testing period.
The move is part of a package of improvements at the site on the former Sutton Manor colliery, in St Helens.
New footways to improve access, picnic facilities and visitor counting technology have already been upgraded.
The upgrade attracted around 24,000 visitors between February and May this year.
Cllr Barrie Grunewald, deputy leader and cabinet member for culture, said: “The work recognises Dream’s significance as a forward-looking symbol of the positive transformation of St Helens and the wider region.
“A target of 25,000 visitors a year to the site was projected, but from these figures it is clear we are heading for a far bigger number, and this is a direct result of improvements put in place through this project.”
