Lancaster Port Commission is currently seeking to extend its powers from the government through a harbour revision order
Lancaster councillors have formally objected to an under-fire port authority’s current bid for extra powers from the government and called for changes.
The port commission currently owns infrastructure, property and land at Glasson Dock and New Quay It also operates the Walney light near Barrow in Furness. The Royal Duchy of Lancaster land estate, owned by the King, is looking at the bid too , councillors have stated. Councillors made their calls at a special meeting of the Council Business Committee on Thursday . Their recommendations and comments in a formal motion include:
Coun Whitaker recommended the committee should respond and other councillors agreed. He said: “A lot of work has gone into this. Congratulations to those involved. It is a credit to you.” She said: “Workers are trying to raise the sea gate but it has not worked as yet, I understand. The issue of the gate is worrying. Separate to that is the silting of the inner harbour. I suggest we might take separate action on that, which I understand this committee can not do.
