NOTHING fascinates the public of Lancaster and Morecambe more (it seems) than the work of the city council.

Well, at least a surprising number of them number of them who showed up to the council's roadshow as it opened at 2pm on Tuesday.

Now, that might have had something to do with the free coffee and scones laid on at the event at The Platform in Morecambe.

Or, it could be that democracy really does work and the hard working people of the area want to know where their money goes.

As one old Morecambe lady at the meeting said: "It's good when you have a real go at them."
