'Morecambe Summit' meeting on the Eden Project announced

A 'Morecambe Summit' meeting will be held so residents can have their say on how the Eden Project will affect the future of the local area.

The public meeting will be held at Morecambe Winter Gardens on Tuesday March 14 from 2pm to 5pm.

The Morecambe Summit will be a free ticketed event and all are welcome.

Lancaster City Council has organised the workshop-style event in response to widespread interest from the community in how the arrival of Eden will affect the future of Morecambe and the district.

Tickets will be available from the Eventbrite ticketing website soon.

Last month it was announced that the government had awarded £50m of Levelling Up cash to the Eden Project Morecambe, paving the way for the new attraction to be built on the central Promenade.

The Eden Project will receive £50m to transform a derelict site on Morecambe’s seafront into a world class visitor attraction. 

The scheme will also kick-start regeneration more widely in Morecambe, creating jobs, supporting tourism and encouraging investment in the seaside town. 

The government contribution of £50m forms half of the projected £100m cost of building the eco-attraction on the central Promenade, with the remainder of the funds coming from private and philanthropic sources.
