The government has committed to fully funding the £50m Eden Project Morecambe, a local MP has said.
The planned eco-visitor attraction, next to Morecambe Bay in Lancashire, was promised £50m of the previous government’s Levelling Up fund, which Labour had not yet committed to.
Labour MP for Morecambe and Lunesdale Lizzi Collinge earlier told Radio Lancashire: “£50m is in the bag and Eden Project Morecambe is going ahead.”
She said the project, which is set to be completed in 2027 or 2028, would provide 1,400 local jobs and attract “nearly one million visitors every year” to the town.
