The Thomsons ruling the council again

[Bennys_was_a_mob]

It seems like the Pleasure Beach owners still have the ear of the council.

They have objected to a development on the Flagstaff Gardens which would see investment of up to £750 000 and create 80 jobs, the likelihood of the Thomson objection means it is likely to be knocked back, suprise suprise.

Street Food knock back?

I don't blame them along with other business in the area who pay thousands for rent and rates to sell food and drink to holidaymakers.
Nice idea wrong location should more central so locals can use it no one is going to try to park or travel for a Taco.

Tower headlands maybe

That's what's missing from Blackpool a central food hub with restaurants, cafés and the like could work at St John's square the Market and Abingdon st.

Which makes the argument that it’s bad for ‘local’ obesity rates moot. I agree with you by the way, locals would not be using it.

Read the report this morning Bennys and after a cycle ride along the prom I must admit, it would be a great idea to get rid of all those places that sell loaded calorific foodstuff so as to stop childhood obesity.
I'm sure Ms Thompson would encourage the removal of the fast food emporiums she has on the pleasure Beach.

The fact is, it's sod all to do with childhood obesity and all to do with something that could potentially eradicate profits from her families empire.

Plus I can't see the logic in being a parent and actively encouraging your child to wipe years off their age by feeding them shite. That's for another thread though

 

[Johnno]

One of the objections, as mentioned above, is too many food outlets will cause obesity. Seems a daft argument, in the sense that it will stop any future food outlets starting up, because we already have enough?
Close down the shit ones, if that’s the case. We have far too many grotty, dirty places selling food.

Didn't know you could object on business grounds.

You need a decent operator to manage

Don't agree. There is no free parking in town. And people won't / shouldn't have to pay to go for a ruddy Taco therefore it's better off in the suburbs.
