Work on a Memorial Garden at the home of Morecambe Football Club is now underway.
The Memorial Garden has been a long time in the planning stages, after the Shrimps Trust first came up with the concept a number of years ago.
The garden, which is now set to be a fantastic addition to the club and the community, a place where people can honour and remember their loved ones and a place for reflection, will be built over the coming weeks.
The garden will be located within the Mazuma Mobile Stadium footprint, on land to the left of the southern corner of the home Halo Terrace, near to the Hurley Flyer carpark.
Matthew Newsham, Events Lead at the Shrimps Trust, said: ‘’We have been working with the contractor to make sure that we get the right design for the needs of the membership.
‘’Our thanks go to Karl at Karl's Gardens for his continued support on this project. All works will be weather dependent so may take extra time to complete.
‘’Thank you for your patience in relation to this project. The garden will be enjoyed by fans for years to come, so it is important that we get this right.’’
The Shrimps Trust has also thanked everyone who has contributed to the project, in particular Derek Quinn who played a pivotal role in raising funds.
The work is due to be completed early next year, and it’s asked that people stay clear of the work area for safety reasons.
