"There are less people up North so less money makes sense. My region got bugger all - and no it is not wealthy, London or the South East or Cornwall."
Instead of saying where it's not why don't you just say where it is?
As for the infrastructure and transport links that people keep mentioning, Morecambe has good transport links. The Bay Gateway means that it's the closest coast to the M6, it's easily accessible. We have Heysham port and there are talks about the Irish passenger ferries starting up again. The Eden Project proposal included upgrading the train line to Lancaster with an electric rail service.
Infrastructure - well, it's a holiday resort so it needs hotels. We have those, plenty of them. Car parks - unfortunately might need more but the Frontierland site is sitting empty. Cafes, pubs and restaurants, tick. Jobs and prospects - 2 nuclear power stations and now Eden North. If it attracts the numbers of visitors expected then Morecambe will become a year round destination, that'll improve job prospects too.
Morecambe has already improved over the last 10 years without any government help. In fact it has felt like they were actively against us 🤣. Morecambe Carnival resurrected itself although the council didn't continue to fund it. The Vintage Festival continues to draw huge crowds, Morecambe music festival is fantastic, Morecambe Sparkle is a goer - although february seems a silly time to do it to me.
The cross bay walks are up and running, an experience like no other, the promenade itself is miles long and beautifully maintained. Heysham village is nice.
The poster who slated it compared to the "balmy" disused clay pit in a run down area that the first Eden Project was built on must've had her eyes closed when she visited Morecambe. If she ever did visit.
