Lancashire County Council said in July that it expected cabinet members would be asked at a meeting this month to make a final choice between two sites that have been in the running for almost a year.

The Lancashire Post understands the authority now expects that the matter will be considered in October-more than six months after the passing of what was previously presented as a crucial cutoff point.
