A former seafront lido in Weston-super-Mare is to be given a multi-million pound revamp.
The Tropicana was shut down 25 years ago and left to fall into disrepair until graffiti artist Banksy transformed the derelict site into his Dismaland bemusement park in 2015.
Since then, the 1930s building has been hired out for events but now councillors have approved plans for it to be transformed into a "nationally significant" venue hosting crowds of up to 5,000 people.
North Somerset Council leader Mike Bell said it was a "really exciting" scheme which the council is "absolutely going to deliver – unlike all the failed schemes of the past".
