Morecambe Promenade
    
You know, I sometimes struggle to comprehend some of the bizarre planning decisions the councils take around here. "Hey, I know, let's convert the site of a 1930's public swimming baths into . . . hmmmm . . . let me think . . . I know! We could leave the original ground floor exterior walls of the baths, yeah . . . but demolish the inside and stick some kind of bright orange, D-shaped block of flats kind of on top, right next to PC World, kind of hovering there, using some huge black metal piston like things to keep it supported. After all, what better place to put some flats then slap bang in the middle of Lancaster's one-way system? And people entering Lancaster from the M6 will be confronted by this, erm . . . thing . . . and, erm . . . yeah . . . I think that could work." (those unfamiliar with said block of flats may try a Google search for the terms "Old Bus Depot" and Lancaster) However, the work done on the promenade at Morecambe . . . well, I like it.
  
The only problem is (and we can't entirely blame the council for this) the amount of dog excrement liberally scattered about. It really is quite off-putting, having to be constantly on-guard for where your feet are going, where the push chair is going and where A****** is going. See, that's the thing with Morecambe: you can do all manner of things to improve the place but it's still full of people who couldn't care less about cleaning up after their dog.
