Progress update at Opus North’s Morecambe Park

Developers of a planned new shopping park in Morecambe say they will make a “significant announcement in four to six weeks”. Although little has happened visibly on the former Frontierland site in recent months, a spokesman for Opus North said there were still developments behind-the-scenes and they hoped to make them public soon. Their plan is to convert the derelict former fairground into a £17m shopping park called ‘the Bay Shopping Park’. This will include a Premier Inn and Brewers Fayre pub/restaurant replacing the Ranch House. The Polo Tower is also expected to be demolished as part of the work. Opus North have been working to sign up retailers and appoint a builder. Link: http://www.thevisitor.co.uk/news/local/four-to-six-weeks-until-morecambe-shopping-park-latest-1-7926033
