PEOPLE power has helped reshape the next phase of Morecambe's coastal defence works at Sandylands Promenade.
Following a public consultation exercise the council has agreed to back a scheme which includes a children's play area, retention of the pool as a natural feature and controlled vehicular access.
The public had also requested improved angling facilities but Cllr Geoff Knight said: "Unfortunately the provision of extra angling facilities has been difficult to justify to MAFF, who pay for the scheme, on cost terms. Also angling has conflicted with the reconstructed beach environment required by English Nature. However, there's likely to be improved opportunities for anglers from beaches provided by the works."
