A public meeting about the latest plans for the Eden Project Morecambe has been cancelled.
The latest in a series of 'Community Conversations' about the new Eden attraction in the town, scheduled for Tuesday January 7 at Morecambe Football Club, will not take place.
A post on the Lancaster City Council Facebook page on Monday announcing the cancellation, said this was "due to the unavailability of some presenters".
"Dates for future events will be announced in due course," it said.
"Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause."
A council spokesperson said the decision to cancel the event was taken in mid-December.
An Eden Project spokesperson said this week they were "finalising details" and will "provide more information in due course" on future Community Conversations.
The Eden Project Morecambe Community Conversations have been taking place regularly, mainly online, and give the public chance to ask questions to the Eden team and their partners, including Lancaster City Council, Lancashire County Council and Lancaster University.
The most recent in-person Community Conversation was held at the Winter Gardens theatre in Morecambe in September.

Last month, the Eden Project advertised for an "exceptional project director" to take charge of bringing their planned new £100m complex in Morecambe to fruition.
The educational charity has put out an advertisement seeking someone to be "responsible for project leadership and management that assures delivery of design, construction and experience outcomes" for the new Eden Project Morecambe.
The successful candidate would be based in Morecambe and earn £100,000-120,000 salary, based on their knowledge, skills and experience.
The closing date for applications is January 27 2025 and interviews are due to take place in February.
The Eden Project Morecambe is earmarked for 4.8 hectares of land on the central promenade in Morecambe, near the Midland hotel, and is due to open in 2028.
Further ground investigation work on-site is expected to start in 2025, following on from initial checks in 2023, and the Eden team is also due to open an office at the Winter Gardens theatre, just across the road.
The mixed-use complex will be housed in shell-like domes and will combine indoor and outdoor attractions, themed around Morecambe Bay.
Eden Project Morecambe will be the environment-focussed charity's second site in the UK and is expected to pull 740,000 visitors annually, as well as providing around 300 high-quality green jobs, plus more than 1,000 additional new jobs supported in the region.
The existing UK Eden Project visitor attraction in Cornwall, which celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2025, has transformed the region's economy since opening in 2000.
