The council chamber erupted with cheer after funding was awarded for Morecambe Pride and Vintage by the Sea Festival after the town council did a u-turn.
Councillors and representatives from Vintage by the Sea gather on the steps of the town hall celebrating funding awarded to two festivals after a council u-turn.
Cllr Cary Matthews, Chairman of Morecambe Town Council, added:"I submitted the motion to reconsider the two applications because these are important events. New information has helped us to assess the applications in more detail and I am pleased the Council is playing such an integral part in supporting these great causes."
Luke Trevaskis, Chief Executive of Morecambe Town Council said: “The Council is a supporter of all local organisations working to bring benefit to Morecambe. Councillors must make difficult decisions at times and with limited funding it is not always possible to award a grant to every applicant every year. However, the Council does support as many organisations as possible and has awarded over £500,000 to local causes over the last ten years.
