Mystery leaflets asking for public donations to 'buy Frontierland for £1m' circulated in Morecambe
A mystery leaflet campaign in Morecambe seeking public donations to buy the former Frontierland theme park for £1million, is causing public confusion, Lancaster City Council has been told.
"I fully understand that we own it and the council is looking at all ideas about how it might be developed. But the people of Morecambe should not be mis-led that they are being able to buy Frontierland for £1 million. " Coun Jackson added: "What other people put on their leaflets is not my business as leader of the council. We own the site. Expressions of interest are going out. This is not selling the land.
Coun Caroline Jackson said: "We have no say in what precept they choose to set. The town council is a third-tier authority [its position in Lancashire's county, district and town/parish council system]. "The Government expects parish and town councils to provide services to meet local needs and improve community wellbeing . However, there is no direct support or security for future funding, with parish and town councils being the only tier of local council not covered by Section 31 of the Local Government Act 2003 and unable to receive grants directly from central government.
