HUNDREDS of people from different religious communities came together to take part in a walk of solidarity against terrorism in the name of faith.
Members of the Muslim and Christian faiths were joined by people from other religions in Lancaster as they presented a united front in the face of the bombings in London.
The peaceful walk, which an estimated 450 people attended, began at Dallas R
oad Gardens and finished with a picnic in Williamson Park.
Organisers said the event was very popular and attracted both young and old.
A MULTI-MILLION pound regeneration scheme for Heysham was back on the cards after the Deputy Prime Minister overruled government guidelines.
The plans for Mossgate – which included 400 houses as well as community facilities such as a medical centre, pharmacy, library and police station – were put on ice after stringent new guidelines were brought in to limit new housing developments in the Lancaster district.
Concerns had been raised that the Government's ruling could scupper the plans for the much-needed community facilities.
MAC Construction now had a maximum of seven years to agree details of each of the houses it wanted to build and start work.
A GIANT 500 tonne crane had been moved into place ready for the next phase of work on the Millennium Bridge over the River Lune.
First sections of the deck were to be lifted into place on high tides. Project engineer Richard Tulej said everything was on target for completion by the end of September.
The sections – each 25m long and 4m wide – were floated upriver on a barge from the quay near Forbo.
A 1,000 tonne crane was to be used the following month for more heavy lifting, working from the Damside slipway.
Construction work was limited by time and size of tides.
The bridge, for pedestrians and cyclists, was to be suspended from giant masts more than 40m high.
