Consultation process

The Winning Back Morecambe's West End Masterplan has been developed through a broad community consultation process before being adopted by Lancaster City Council. The West End Partnership continues to support and advise of the various projects proposed in the Masterplan.

The Poulton Renewal Area gained Renewal Status in June 2000. A ten year programme of regeneration was approved and this year's financial allocation will continue to support this.

The Disabled Facilities Grant is a mandatory function of the Authority and the funding allocation will enable the continuation of this duty.
