	Good afternoon I hope your Thursday is going well so far. Today has proved a mix of stories including a £1.2m cash injection for Morecambe's Eden Project, a huge and extremely significant proposal which will benefit not just the north but the entire county. A Walton-le-dale woman has been found safely after vanishing for two weeks. And a £100,00 fund-raising drive has been launched for a Bobby Ball statue in Lytham, following the death of the comedy icon. But it's not all good news today as vandals have trashed a marquee due to be visited by Santa at a Leyland primary school and police have responded to the sudden death of a man in Fulwood this morning. We are reporting the latest Covid-19 statistics, as we do every day, and the latest on the vaccination programme. Plus we have reported after a row broke out over plans to fell a large oak tree in Ingol, Preston.
