JUST what is happening to Morecambe? Morecambe as a holiday resort - forget it.

With a mini Freeport as the only entertainment there's no chance.

In a holiday resort the big spenders are the younger end of the market who like fairgrounds, ice cream, rock etc.

They don't want to go shopping.

Besides, a third of all shops in the town are closed and boarded up.

There are areas that look like Beirut after a bad night.

Tidy these areas up, bring back a fairground for the prom and get some support for the Winter Gardens and it could be a great success.

At the moment the only live entertainment is to watch the new colour schemes on the town's roads.

It's a like a strawberry and cream sundae, awful colouring, just what is the idea? The money could have been better spent filling in the pot holes rather than highlighting the bottlenecks.

We in Morecambe are being robbed blind by the council rates and this is all we have to show for our money.

Let's elect a decent council at the next election and not this "we'll make things better rubbish from the Independents."

You may have stood a bit of a chance with the Winter Gardens if it wasn't for the usual suspects cocking it up again - they've a lot to answer for but I'm forgetting of course that we musn't engender a 'blame culture' - Ed
