Social mission developer Capital&Centric, which specialises in the restoration of concrete buildings, is set to breathe new life into the Millgate premises.
It used to accommodate council offices but has stood empty for several years now, with its only use being for location shooting of the Morecambe-based crime drama The Bay where it was dressed up as a police station.
We were invited to take a look around the Civic Centre as Tim Heatley, founder of Capital&Centric, talks through his vision of how the building can be redeveloped.
