“The completion of the public realm works on the seafront, and Euston Road, combined with the opening of the Bay Gateway, has certainly put us on the map. The video certainly does Morecambe proud and locals certainly have a lot to be proud of. The festivals and events calendar is fuller than ever and this year BID was the major sponsor of the Morecambe Music Festival which was an outstanding success.”
