‘Monstrosity’ apartment compl ex could get council go-ahead

Good afternoon,

A Bamber Bridge bar could be allowed later opening hours after a compromise with the local council - following talks with planning officers, the bar has scaled back its request to 1am closing.

A giant phone mast is to be built in the grounds of a village hall to improve wi-fi reception for passengers on trains thundering past. Travellers using mobiles and laptops on the West Coast mainline between Preston and Scotland have been suffering a breakdown in reception near to Barton due to a "gap" in the 4G network.

Finally, Morecambe’s MP David Morris, says he is confident the town’s Eden Project funding bid will be successful despite changes in Government.

Thanks for reading,

Colin
