“Unfortunately, the Sleazy punk festival, which also had its bid rejected by the committee, has already taken place. Vintage By The Sea has been awarded £10,000 and Pride £7,000, with a further £3,00 allocated if it incurs a loss. Speaking after the latest meeting, Lib-Dem town councillor Jim Pilling said: “It was decided to overturn the recent decisions of the Festival & Events Committee to refuse funding applications from Vintage by the Sea and Morecambe Pride. said Bay Independent Group Coun Cary Matthews, who is chairman of Morecambe Town Council and also a city councillor.Įarlier this week, she said all financial decisions were dependent on information provided in the application process and not about how strongly councillors supported any cause. New information was put forward about the events. The U-turn on funding for Pride and Vintage came at a special town council meeting held last night (Thursday).

Morecambe is currently the scene for a by-election campaign following the death of Coun Jean Hanson. The debate also raised wider questions about ‘commercialisation’ of the gender equality movement, whether Morecambe Town Council itself is properly-run and counter-claims that some political parties are exploiting equality themes for their own political gain.

Morecambe Pride Festival takes place on July 30 while Vintage By The Sea is due in September. But there have been disagreements on how the cash should be spent. Morecambe Town Council has its own local tax, called a precept, which is collected when Lancaster City Council sends out council tax bills. This year’s Morecambe Pride and Vintage By The Sea festivals are now set to receive a combined total of up to £20,000 from Morecambe Town Council, following a U-turn on a previous decision. With a focus on occasion-wear and bridal-wear options, Lizzie's pop-up opens this weekend as a by-appointment soft launch into what will hopefully become an established local vintage go-to destination and a chance for people to view her edit of around 100 unique pieces.A council has decided to award thousands of pounds of tax-payers money to various Morecambe festivals, after overturning an earlier decision to axe support for three events because of worries about increased ‘commercialisation’ and the earnings of individual organisers. Lizzie's love of vintage finds from all over the world is a welcome addition to our vintage scene, with a particular preference for well-kept garments with a touch of glamour.

Having worked in New York in wholesale showrooms and at brands such as Rosie Assoulin and Roksanda, Lizzie has been able to put her degree in Bachelor of Design majoring in fashion design and business to good use by focusing her attention to her passionate side hustle, a vintage curation housed under the name Love James, all while balancing a day job in e-commerce and digital marketing.
