Eden Project Morecambe bosses say all the signs are positive that the government will back their business case for the £100million attraction - as they revealed a further £2.5million instalment has been provided for design work.
"We also have the Eden business case to get the full £50million from the government. We expect to hear about that later this month. It is being put through checks and balances to make sure it's robust." "We want to get building as quickly as possible and know the public wants this too. But we also ask for patience. This needs world-class design for a world class attraction.

It requires plan A."Public questions In a questions session, resident Joyce Bond said: "I'm interested in concerts and theatre spaces at Eden.
