The site of the former Frontierland theme park in Morecambe could be redeveloped in a multi-million pound scheme to create a retail and leisure park with an hotel and restaurant.

Developers Opus North and the site's owners, supermarket chain Morrisons, have been sounding out the town's residents for their opinions on the future of the site, a move which included the plans for the project being displayed at the Morecambe Superbowl at the end of November ahead of their being put before Lancaster City Council for consideration.

Formerly known as West End Amusement Park, Frontierland was the result of a 1986 revamp of the site by owners the Thompson family. Despite the installation of a number of new attractions over the following years, visitor numbers fell to the point where the park was closed at the end of the 2000 season.

Morrisons bought the site in 2001 and the rear of it is now occupied by a number of outlet centres. The front section, which is still home to the park's iconic Polo Tower, is the subject of the current proposed development.
