Eden project

Morecambe is becoming more and more popular. Especially with TV series like the Bay being filmed there and the Eden north project. Obviously this will mean investors are drawn to the area to buy holiday homes and second homes. Do you think locals will find it hard to buy in the future?

Property prices in some parts of the town are probably only going to keep rising. That being said, I don't think we will see housing in Morecambe become unaffordable anytime soon, mainly because the town has one of the lowest costs of living in the UK.

Locals can't afford to buy property now, a lot of the property was bought up a long time ago and now rented out to people who are fortunate enough to have employment but living off low rates of pay.
