Morecambe Bay set to receive £18.3 million in lotto cash – August 8th 2011

  by: admin - Category:

A stretch of the UK coastline that is significant due to its wildlife habitats is set to receive a cash boost of £18.3 million in lottery money.

Morecambe Bay’s Headlands to Headspace project has had the generous sum of Heritage Lottery Fund cash earmarked for it in order to preserve animal nests and improve visitor knowledge of the area and its heritage.

The lotto funding will also be used to develop railway station hubs to access key sites, as well as restore and connect different habitats and to finance the study of seals and birds.

Susannah Bleakley, who co-ordinated the bid, was quoted by the news source as saying: “It is very encouraging, very heartening to have this level of support from the lottery and it should help us to make more of Morecambe Bay.”

Last month, the site of the Battle of Bannockburn received £10 million in lotto funding thanks to the Heritage Lottery Fund to develop the tourism centre.
