Has anybody heard if a decision was reached at the council meeting on Monday about the proposed plans to open a casino in Lancaster? The proposal was to convert two floors of the Riversway House office block on Morecambe Road, formerly Legend Communications.
Objections were raised by several people including the headmaster of Our Lady's Catholic College which is right next door. His point being that it's hardly a good idea to put such temptation right under the noses of their pupils. Not that a casino would be open during school hours but he did point out that a lot of pupils attend after school clubs etc.
There is already a great deal of concern about schoolchildren getting addicted to playing on slot machines.
Would a casino in Lancaster be a good idea? If so would it perhaps be better situated elsewhere?
If any locals know the outcome of the council meeting please do tell.

I had been telling my hubby about the time I was in Morecombe when the Moby Dick and Hotel was hit by lightening and burnt down. My parents, sister and myself had just come off the Moby Dick when lightening stuck
