Controversial proposals to build housing on Fleetwood’s beach have been axed. The scheme had been put forward by consultants King Sturge as part of the town’s Masterplan as an alternative to proposals to build on the seafront pitch and putt green. But the proposals have been dropped after English Nature advised that the beach was protected as a site of special scientific interest.
British Waterways Marinas Ltd (BWML) were put on the back foot at a packed and lively meeting at Glasson Dock village Hall earlier this week. At the start of the meeting Lancaster City Council’s chief planning officer, Andrew Dobson, announced that he had asked for a full Environmental Impact Assessment(EIA) to be carried out. 
Lancaster & District Green Party has called on the local Vision Board to reject plans for a nuclear future for the district. At its December meeting members backed a call for the Heysham site to be rejected as a possible location for a new generation of nuclear power plants. Green Party Chair Gina Dowding said after the meeting “Going nuclear should not be part of any vision for the district. For 50 years the nuclear industry has failed to deliver on its promise to deliver cheap energy for all and has failed to sort out what to do with highly radioactive waste.”

The City Council has finally acted against car drivers who have been using the corner of St. George’s Quay and Damside Street as a makeshift car park. After months of complaints from passers by and local businesses, John Foster of Lancashire County Engineers has confirmed to local councillor Jon Barry, who acted on the complaints, that bollards are to be placed on the corner to prevent vehicles parking. City Councillors have long wanted to prevent parking on the corner but according to County staff, identifying who owned the land was one reason for a delay to something being done.
