In a letter from Communities Minister Mark Francois MP, David Morris MP was informed that the Bay Area Art Park had been awarded £50,000 under the Coastal Revival Fund.
This grant will enable the first steps of a phased approach to deliver an Art Park that will improve and grow the Bay Arena for leisure and culture. Access improvements, public art commission and landscaping works are the first planned works to this being achieved.
David Morris MP said:
‘I am delighted that this Government is continuing to allocate funding to Morecambe and Lunesdale. This funding will transform the Bay Arena area on the promenade and promote Arts and Culture. It will be fantastic to see the work on this area progress’.
The money will be paid to the local authority, on behalf of the applicant, through a Section 31 grant and is to be spent in this financial year.
