Plans have been unveiled for a £17m retail and leisure park in Morecambe.
If approved by planners, the new Bay Shopping Park, which is adjacent to a 70,000 sq ft Morrisons store, will create 500 jobs and fill the site on Morecambe Promenade.
Andrew Duncan, the managing director of Opus North, revealed that several well-known fashion stores were interested in coming to the new retail and leisure park.
“The reaction of local Morecambe residents, when we exhibited our plans, was extremely positive. 87 per cent of those who commented on our proposals were in favour of them, which is very encouraging.
Frontierland, part of the Blackpool Pleasure Beach empire, closed in 2000. Supermarket giants Morrisons bought the land in 2001 and initially aimed to open a Freeport-style shopping complex. But these plans never came to fruition.
