00:00 Hello, I'm Michelle from the Lancaster Guardian with the latest news headlines from across the region.
00:06 A former bank in Morecambe is up for auction with bids starting at £210,000.
00:13 The NatWest Bank at 262 Marine Road Central, Morecambe closed on February 28th.
00:20 The spokesman for BidX1 Commercial London said,
00:24 "This will probably appeal to a local developer/investor who can turn it into a bar/restaurant and park/residential subject to necessary consents."
00:36 Costa Coffee, Greggs and Central Co-op will be taking space at the new £220m Botany Bay Business Park in Chorley.
00:46 The trio are expected to open at the 7,222 sqft location off the M61 by early 2025.
00:55 F1 Real Estate Management is developing 33 units totalling 405,386 sqft of space during Phase 1 of the project.
