Controversial proposals to build housing on Fleetwood’s beach have been axed.

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.

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.”
