I know these two Radio 4 programmes are a year old now but they are quite interesting. How did the businesses that are mentioned fair I wonder?

Very interesting , tough world out there trying to make these places pay. The towns people have to use them or inevitably we'll lose them. We have however had the best possible news with the green light for the link road, without this i fear it really could have been curtains for the town.

Defo interesting....I do think most of Morecambe's businesses are struggling and will continue to struggle...we need serious investors that can improve the look and bring new things to Morecambe...we need to have something here that people will want to travel from far and wide to see.

I have lived here all my life and would not want to be anywhere else. I hate seeing our town in such shambles!
