A £243,000 lottery cash windfall has gone to a Morecambe community centre.

The Lighthouse in Townley Street will use the money to fund community projects and activities over the next three years.

Last year more than 6,500 people used the centre from 115 different agencies and a spokesman said: "Everyone is delighted. The idea now is to develop services further to respond to the changing needs of the community."
