WELCOME TO BAY LINK

Bay Link’s goal is to celebrate the diverse range of businesses in the area, with the look and feel of an upmarket lifestyle magazine.

From our top picks of this months events, to editorial pieces on local companies and exciting new developments in the area, the hope is to create an informative yet enjoyable magazine with something for everyone. We also have some exciting competitions dotted throughout the magazine, with various prizes to be won.

The response to the first issue of Bay Link has been overwhelmingly positive, and we wouldn’t be able to produce this second edition without the fantastic support of the local businesses and community, so from all of us here at Bay Link - thank you.

We hope you enjoy issue 2 just as much as the first and find you reap the benefits of advertising with us. If you’d like to feature in Issue 3, I would love to hear from you.

Spring Into Action Lancaster is truly a unique city.

A city with a rich heritage, captivating past and cultured present. One of England’s most vibrant historic cities, where culture and heritage enthral and inspire locals and visitors alike. We are so proud to work in this fantastic city. A small city, with a BIG story.

Lancaster BID stands for ‘Business Improvement District’ and we do exactly what it says in the title, we improve Lancaster on behalf of Lancaster businesses.

BID’s were first established in Canada and now exist across the globe, in South Africa, Germany, Japan and New Zealand. There are around 400 BIDs in existence in the UK alone and each BID works differently and has diverse priorities, based on the needs of the businesses which operate there.

6

You might have seen the Lancaster BID logo dotted around the city centre for nearly five years now, but not quite know exactly what we do. We’re the ones who organise and fund FREE city centre events like the recent BIG Easter Event, Dino-Day, The Lancaster Christmas Lights Switch On and Light Up Lancaster. We also support fantastic annual events such as Lancaster Music Festival, Lancaster Jazz Festival and Lancaster Pride.

One of our objectives is to help improve footfall in the city centre, to benefit the businesses which operate here.

But we don’t just do events! We’re also the ones who sponsor the spring flowers, currently in Dalton Square, Lucy Street, Edward Street and Church Street, adding vibrancy and colour to the city centre.

We’re also the ones who promote the city

Last years Dino-Day (2nd June 2017) centre and city centre businesses all year round. We’re even the ones who put up the Christmas lights each year! In fact, we do just about anything that helps make a positive improvement to the city centre.

Recently, we’ve had a strong focus on ‘Spring Cleaning’ the city centre. As part of Keep Britain Tidy’s campaign, we have been inspired to take a closer look at the city centre streets. We know that there is no point simply attracting people to come to Lancaster city centre, if what they find when they get here doesn’t live up to our historic city title. We want to make an impression.

A lasting impression. An impression which encourages repeat visits and word of mouth recommendations.

As part of our Spring Clean efforts, we commissioned a team of Gum Zappers, who removed over 5,000 square metres of chewing gum from the city centre streets,

accepted two match-funded business improvement grant applications and funded an additional cleansing operative in the city centre, concentrating on tackling grot spots. We also co-ordinated a city centre clean up, where businesses from various organisations came out to help clean up the city centre streets, showing that their small contributions, went a really long way to improving the area. The aim of this initiative was to restore pride in the city and encourage businesses and residents to help keep Lancaster a clean and tidy place for everyone to enjoy!

You might next see us out when we bring back Dino-Day, on Friday 1st June, for a ROAR-some day of fun. Make sure you and the family visit this not-to-be-missed event, where life-like Rex the T Rex and his friends will be descending on Lancaster’s streets!

Broccoli & Cheese Tart

22

With broccoli in season during April, why not try making this simple vegetarian tart, perfect for dinners or packed lunches. The recipe is so versatile that you can add any fillings you fancy, great for using up any leftovers from the night before.

YOU WILL NEED For the Pastry; 180g Plain flour, plus extra for dusting 45g Lard & 45g Butter (or use 90g Butter) Pinch of Salt

2 Eggs 2 Egg yolks 100ml Milk 200ml Double cream Salt and Freshly ground Pepper

For the Filling; 200g Cheddar cheese, grated 1/2 Small head of broccoli

EQUIPMENT 22cm flan dish or loose bottomed tart tin Rolling pin

TO MAKE THE PASTRY Sift the flour together with a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Rub in the butter and lard (if using) until you have a soft breadcrumb texture. Add enough cold water to make the crumb mixture come together to form a firm dough, and then rest it in the fridge in cling film for 30 minutes. This can also be done in a food processor if you have one.

TO MAKE THE FILLING Cut the broccoli up into bite size pieces and cook in boiling water for a few minutes until al-dente. Drain and place on kitchen roll to soak up any excess liquid.

After the pastry has chilled, roll it out on a lightly floured surface so it’s large enough to cover the base and sides of your flan dish.

Lightly grease the dish and sprinkle a dusting of flour over the top. Using your rolling pin to help you, lift the pastry onto the flan dish and gently press the pastry into it. Don’t cut off the edges of the pastry just yet. Chill again whilst your oven is preheating.

Sprinkle the cheese onto the pastry base and add the bite sized broccoli pieces.

Whisk the eggs with the milk and cream in a bowl and season well with salt and pepper.

Pour this over the top of the cheese and broccoli, being careful not to go over the top of the pastry.

Bake in the centre of the oven on the baking tray for 25 - 35 minutes or until set. If the top is starting to brown too quickly, cover with foil. You may need to adjust cooking times depending on your oven.

Preheat the oven to 190°C/170°C Fan/Gas 5.

Remove the pastry from the fridge and cover using some baking paper. Fill the dish with baking beans if you have them, but any dried beans, peas or rice will do the same job. Place the dish on a baking tray and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the beans and paper and return to the oven for another five minutes to cook the base, then remove.

Reduce the oven to 170°C/150°C/Gas 3.

SOMETHING DIFFERENT? Reduce the amount of cheese used and replace with cooked salmon, for a nice twist.

For meat-eaters, swap the broccoli for fried bacon or leftover roast chicken, and add some dried thyme before cooking.

Walking in Silverdale On the northern coast of Morecambe Bay lies Silverdale, a picturesque village in an Area of Natural Beauty. The area is a walkers paradise, but one of our favourites in this stunning part of the Bay is Eaves Wood.

The route from the car park up to the Pepperpot and back (3-4km) takes over an hour, or you could try the whole circuit of the woodland if you’re feeling more adventurous!

The woodland is owned and protected by the National Trust, and is a hidden gem for dog walking too, so be sure to take along your furry friend if you get the chance to go.

The Pepperpot is a 20ft tower, built to commemorate the golden jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1887. The monument stands at 250ft above sea level and boasts magnificent views from right across the Bay.

The woodland features sign posts and various routes to follow, whether you decide to head to the impressive Beech Circle or carry on up to the Pepperpot, the imposing stone monument at the summit of Castlebarrow, to take in the view of the Bay. The trail is a moderate walk, with the majority under a leafy canopy however limestone pavements throughout and a reasonable incline up to the monument should be noted, and special care taken in poor weather - wellies are advised!

MORECAMBE BID Reflecting on 2017

2017 was quite a year for Morecambe.

The previous October saw the opening of the long-awaited Bay Gateway bypass road.

No one was quite sure what effect it would have on the area, but most were quietly optimistic. After all, it couldn’t be any worse than sitting in traffic for up to an hour just to get to Morecambe from the M6 or even Lancaster... could it? As it turned out even the most optimistic were beginning to verge on the pessimistic side.

to see many independent traders opening shops with more eclectic offerings. This helps us reposition Morecambe as the “Independent Town”.

In short, traveling times have been transformed both to and from the M6 and into Lancaster, with Morecambe being the closest seaside resort to any motorway in the UK. On average, it takes approximately 10 minutes to get from the M6 to the centre of Morecambe. The ease of navigation in the area has lead to an almost immediate increase in freight traffic through Heysham Port, and we believe it is reflected in the visitor numbers in Morecambe last year.

The night-time and leisure economy is important to Morecambe and its future.

In recent years we have seen significant private investment coming into the leisure sector, including a number of new restaurants and pubs/hotels. Some of the restaurants are national award winners and leaders in Trip Advisor rankings for the county. It is important we keep the appeal going, and that means helping make the town more attractive at night to both visitors and residents alike.

Morecambe Carnival saw over 55,000 visitors on the Sunday last year and the inaugural Morecambe Music Festival, sponsored by BID, was an overwhelming success; so much so that this year’s festival is over two days. Hotels reported a great season and whenever there is a major event on there is a dire shortage of good accommodation in the district.

Whilst empty shops in Morecambe remain a concern, especially the bigger units vacated by national retail chains, it is encouraging 40

Last year’s Morecambe Sparkle Christmas event was an overwhelming success with the tree switch on in New Town Square and over 3,000 people present for the big switch on at 5.00 pm, although there were a lot more throughout the day.

To this end, the installation of the festoon lights before Christmas had two purposes – make the area more appealing at Christmas, and other times, and add extra street lighting. BID will be rolling out this street lighting scheme in 2018 to encompass more streets in the zone. We will also be investing in more architectural lighting to highlight some of the town’s treasures.

LAKELAND FLOORING HOW IT BEGAN, WHAT’S ON OFFER AND WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD?

How did Lakeland Flooring begin?

We initiated the business in 2013 in a very small shop premises with just a few sample books and a desk! We weren’t quite sure how the business would grow! It was a huge risk at the time and we put all we had into it .

How is the business doing now ?

We are now operating form a large showroom and warehouse open 7 days a week but still very much a family run business!

What services do you offer?

We like to offer our customers good quality flooring products at sensible prices. We are not trying to be the cheapest shop in the area - we’ve learned that this is not what most customers want either.

Do you offer services for elderly people?

Yes. We know it can be a struggle when there are large bulky items to move . We offer an uplift and removal serve - including moving furniture about and will make sure consideration is taken.

What can customers expect when they come in to your showroom ?

The kettle is always on and we have a comfortable and warm office area where children are welcome to play and watch films! We strive to treat all our customers with care and attention, and provide them with great advice with no pushy sales tactics.

We offer free advice and free verbal and written quotations with no obligation to buy.

On display in the showroom is a vast selection of flooring samples with a dedicated LVT ( luxury vinyl tile ) area , laminate and hard floors . We also have roll stock to take away on the day . All roll stock is good quality - what you see is what you get! We have a contract flooring area too and special landlord deals.

What are you future plans?

We are expanding the showroom this month to provide a larger roll stock sales area which will have a wider range of flooring products on display . We can’t wait to meet new customers and provide them with the excellent service we have become renowned for .

Planning your new bathroom Planning the perfect bathroom shouldn’t feel daunting. From drenching showers and sparkling taps to stunning free standing baths, Tina Robinson, Product Manager for luxury bathroom brand Heritage Bathrooms, reveals her top tips to make the bathroom that you’ve always dreamed about a reality.

Planning is key “It’s easy to get distracted by interior trends, so be clear on the style direction you want to go in and consider the style of bathroom that you want, whether that be a clean, crisp contemporary look or a more classic and timeless approach.

“When heading to a showroom, it’s helpful to have specific information to hand to aid the design process. Connecting rooms, flooring type and ventilation are valuable insights when it comes to planning your space.”

possibilities. Heritage’s range for example, come primed and ready to paint, so you can create a truly individual design.

“Alternatively, a metallic effect acrylic tub is equally as stunning and weighs significantly less. Our Hylton, Lyddington and Holywell acrylic baths are all available in Stainless Steel, Copper and Gold finishes, meaning you get the iconic look without worrying about the weight.

Splash of colour

Bathing beauties

“Adding a wash of colour to an all-white bathroom space can provide a gorgeous backdrop reminiscent of a luxury boutique hotel. In well-ventilated bathrooms or areas of the bathroom, treated or vinyl wallpapers work wonderfully to add a touch of drama.

“In areas which are subject to more humidity, create a distinctive design with stylish tiling.

Try introducing a pop of pink across subway tiles for an elegant and romantic effect.”

“If your bathroom space allows, the perfect bath offers a haven to retreat to after a busy day to relax and de-stress with a long soak. A free standing bath is a timeless investment, and as they are available in a multitude of designs, materials and finishes, there’s an option to suit every need.

“If you choose a beautiful cast iron roll top bath, be sure to enquire about the design

With a commitment to providing quality materials and craftsmanship across its ranges and lifetime guarantees on all free standing acrylic baths, cast iron baths and suites, with Heritage, you’re not only investing in a bathroom design that you’ll love now, but for years to come. Why not visit your local Heritage retailer and begin planning the bathroom of your dreams?
