Community Assembly of Morcambe
Serving, supporting and protecting our local community
About Us
The Community Assembly of Morecambe is located in a seaside town on Morecambe Bay, part of the Irish Sea. The first use of the name was by John Whitaker in his History of Manchester (1771), when he refers to the 'æstury of Moricambe'. It next appears four years later in Antiquities of Furness, where the bay is described as "the Bay of Morecambe'.
It was in 1889 that the necessary legislation was passed to officially name the area Morecambe, comprising the hamlets of Poulton, Bare and Torrisholme. In 1846, the Morecambe Harbour and Railway Company was formed to build a harbour on Morecambe Bay, close to the fishing village of Poulton-le-Sands, and with a connecting railway. By 1850, the railway linked to Skipton, Keighley and Bradford in the West Riding of Yorkshire, and a settlement began to grow around the harbour and railway to service the port and as a seaside resort. Morecambe was selected by the RNLI as the location for its first active life-saving hovercraft, 'The Hurley Flyer', which became operational on 23 December 2002.
Community Assemblies are made up of residents concerned about a lack of democratic process at a local and national level, dedicated to preserving and asserting our inalienable rights and obligations to ourselves, the Earth and future generations.
