The Waterfront Barrow-in-Furness

[2] Progress on the project stalled between 2010 and 2016 due to complications with funding following the disabandonment of the North West Regional Development Agency.However the most beneficial aspect of the Waterfront to Barrow's status as a port town is the proposed cruise ship terminal, numerous ocean liners have visited Barrow over recent years, but a designated purpose-built terminal building is hoped to significantly increase the number of liners that visit the town.[6] This is due to the large number of local producers of energy including Barrow Offshore Wind, Rampside Gas Terminal, Roosecote Power Station and Sellafield.[7] In July 2010 there were concerns that the project could be put on hold or scrapped all together due to lack of funds as a result of government cutbacks, however plans soon emerged to go ahead with the Marina Village and fund the marina itself with receipts from property sales within the village, although this isn't expected to commence until possibly 2018.[9] VUE Construction has been appointed to carry out phase 2 of the project, which includes decontamination, site clearance and installation of utilities.[10] In July 2010, plans for the cruise ship terminal were put on hold until there is actual significant demand to accommodate larger vessels at the port.[18] £2 million is to be invested into creating the nature reserve, whilst Cumbria County Council has been made responsible for landscaping the surrounding area.The Marina Village will take up a large part of south-central Barrow and although many roads will be demolished, the main thorough throughs of Rawlinson Street and The Strand will remain.[21] Since 2003, Ramsden Dock has held host to the Formula 2 National Grand Prix Power Boat racing which attracted some 35,000 visitors annually.Barrow, its docks and the Walney Channel have also become ever more popular with power boat racing since speed restrictions were placed on nearby Windermere.[21] The water sports centre which forms part of the waterfront will be located on the northern side of Ramsden Dock and will cater for canoeing, sailing, wind-surfing and power boat racing.
