A man who barricaded himself inside a house due for demolition has appealed for former tenants to come forward. Chris Tague is in dispute with Lancaster City Council over a property he owned in Parliament Street, Morecambe, which was demolished.

The case is expected to come before Lancaster Magistrates in December.

He claims it was rented out as flats but the council say it was a single dwelling.

Mr Tague said: "I'm trying to prove that the property was converted into flats. I'm interested in hearing from any former tenant of 4 Parliament Street, Morecambe. One former tenant who I believe still lives in the area is Harold Hanvey. It would be great if he could get in touch."

To contact Mr Tague call 415142/422804.
