The attraction, in Marine Parade closed amid financial difficulties in March, and Steve Townsend believes it is a 'blip on the seafront' as the summer season begins in earnest.

Mr Townsend, who is also manager of Weston Business Improvement District, has floated the idea of a high-quality eatery to replace the aquarium.

He told the Mercury: “Obviously the SeaQuarium is a bit of a blip on the seafront.

“I think a good fish restaurant would be really good in there.

“I think a quality eatery would be excellent.”

The town has seen the growth of a foodie culture in recent years, with lots of options and flavours available for diners.

Mr Townsend added: “The town's food offering in Weston is really growing, and that would add to it.”
