We have been working with partners towards our long-term ambiton of creating a walk and cycleway on the Arnside to Grange railway viaduct. We believe this would be a transformational project as it would be a significant and unique attraction for new visitors, as well as boosting sustainable travel and increasing the popularity of the Bay Cycle Way.
We're delighted to welcome Janet Barton (far left) to the Morecambe Bay Partnership team.
Janet will be our tourism development specialist. She'll run a 2 year programme called "700 Days to Transform the Bay". And so she's the 700 Days Co-ordinator.
Janet has a great track-record in delivery and is another golden addition to our team.
Formerly, Janet was the Director of the Lancashire Economic Partnership.
23 Aug 2013 Fund increased for 2014 and extended to 2016
Morecambe Bay was one of the first areas to benefit from the Coastal Comunities Fund. In August 2013, it was announced that next year's Fund will be increased by 5% and so worth £29 million. And also that the Fund will be extended to 2016.
