A MUCH-LOVED skating rink could be reopened by Easter after a new tenant took over the site.
Simply Skate has been awarded the lease for Dovercourt Skating Rink on Lower Marine Parade.
Tendring Council, which owns the site, received two tenders for the attraction.
A spokesman for Simply Skate said: “The aim is to be up and running for the Easter Bank Holiday Monday.
“It will be on similar lines as before but we are hoping to set up various clubs and also will have a kiosk providing food and drink.”
