BRIDLINGTON'S big wheel is in motion again.

Friday 14th March 2008

The Eye On The Bay started going round again earlier today (Friday) and will be open to the public tomorrow.
Businessman Michael Harrison struck a deal just a few hours ago to get the striking observation wheel re-open.
He told the Free Press: "The company we leased it from got into financial difficulties. They are now out of the picture and we have managed to do a deal with the banks involved to keep it in Bridlington.
"It will keep bringing people back to Bridlington and this is what we always wanted."
The £1m wheel was switched off in December when Haydock Finance arrived at the site and removed part of the control panel, in a dispute with the wheel's former owner Yorkshire Carousel.
Mr Harrison's company Harrison Leisure leased the wheel from Yorkshire Carousel and leased the land it stood on from the council.
"We had our hands tied and had no control over the situation but we have managed to do a deal so that we are now the operators.
"It has been hard work but hopefully it will have been worth it. We are quite happy to keep it in Bridlington as long as it is viable and we don't see why it will not be viable in Bridlington all year round."
