The letter said they aim to cause as little disruption as possible and intend to complete all their filming in this area on a single day.

The roads will be accessible as normal and its only the parking that will be restricted.

Pedestrian access will continue as normal but with a potential stop and hold for no longer than 60 seconds if filming on one of the paths.

The letter also said: “Thank you very much for your time and attention to this letter.

"We appreciate that we are visitors to the area and are grateful for the warm reception our cast and crew have received from the Morecambe community over recent months and on our previous three series we have made.”

Filming will also be at the clock tower on Monday September 12 from 10.30am until 12.30pm, and at the Eric Morecambe statue from 2pm until midnight.
