Morecambe Town Council

Morecambe Town Council The official page of Morecambe Town Council. Morecambe Town Council was formed in 2009 and represents over 33,000 people across 11 wards.

Follow us for information on our services, events, and how to get involved as we work together with the community to enrich and improve lives in our classic English seaside town. Our 26 elected, voluntary councillors work with a small team of officers to enrich and improve the lives of our residents, working towards a thriving and sustainable future. Our mission is to represent the best interests

of the town and people of Morecambe, enabling members of our community to better influence and participate in local decision making – providing a platform and voice for all. We aim to achieve this by listening and engaging with the local community; upholding values of openness, honesty, integrity, equality, diversity, and inclusion; and providing value for money to taxpayers. We are also committed to reducing our carbon footprint, having declared a Climate Emergency in 2022. We are the first of three tiers of local authority covering the Morecambe area – the others being Lancaster City Council and Lancashire County Council. Each has different areas of responsibility and delivers different services. Our remit currently includes:
Maintaining and enhancing public spaces, making the town greener and cleaner. Overseeing West End and Heysham North allotment site (currently managed by West End and Heysham Allotment Association). Promoting Morecambe as a vibrant and welcoming place to live, work, and visit. Find out more on our website: morecambe.gov.uk

❓Did you know that Morecambe Town Hall and Morecambe Town Council are two different things?

It’s an easy mix-up – particularly as the Town Council does have a small office at Morecambe Town Hall.

But Morecambe Town Hall is owned and operated by Lancaster City Council, which has been responsible for the building since the last local government reorganisation in 1974.

So, if you’re asked to contact or visit “Morecambe Town Hall” about a council service, 9 times out of 10 the organisation you’re looking for is Lancaster City Council.

We hope this helps point you in the right direction and saves you from being passed from one place to another!

Morecambe Town Council is a separate local authority, with its own responsibilities and services. Find out more about some of the different council roles and services in Morecambe via our website services directory👇

Eric On The Bay! ☀️🌊🕺📸

On 14 July, more than 100 people recreated Morecambe and Wise’s iconic skipping pose on South Beach as part of ‘Eric On The Bay’, a unique performance art and photography installation celebrating Eric Morecambe’s 100th anniversary.

Captured from directly overhead in the low evening sunshine, this spectacular aerial image turns their shadows into a whole new cast of shadow Erics.

🌼 Alleyway transformation 🌼

Earlier this year, we transformed an unadopted and unloved alleyway between Woodhill Lane and Hutton Crescent into a wildflower walk – and it's now teeming with wildlife.

During one short visit late last month, we spotted multiple species of butterfly and caterpillar, honeybees, bumblebees, solitary bees, hoverflies and a parasitic wasp! 🐝🦋

Know your creepy crawlies? 🐛 We'd love your help identifying the caterpillar at 00:27 in the video. Let us know in the comments if you recognise it! 👇
