I blame Critchley
Excellent - should pop that on visitblackpool.comIt's grim
Oddly they are sticking a protection order on Waterloo so looks like they don’t want it to change! But guessing plans are afootI hope not Haz. Any city I’ve been in, China town is always scruffy and run down looking.
Only way they can renovate an entire area is compulsory purchase and start again. Don’t see how that would be even feasible as some people wouldn’t want to give up their livelyhoods
Which is exactly why there is no rush to open the hotel - they will make more from the rentYou don't want to know how many million the council is paying to rent space in that hotel for its museum. You could construct a purpose built museum for a fraction of the price and it would remain a council asset.
did you sit in the bath with them on to shrink the Levi's thoughI got my first pair of Levi’s and a Ben Sherman from there - great shop
Claptrap lazy untrue comment the labour council thinks a stupid tramtrack for holiday makers was more important than the state some areas are in for locals .Absolute joke waste of moneyIt's almost as if over a decade of Tory rule has seen a constant decline in investment in the North. Luckily the latest budget will surely readdress the imbalance and not put more money in the pockets of the richest areas of the country.
Where do councils get the vast majority of their money from? Clue: it's not council tax.Claptrap lazy untrue comment the labour council thinks a stupid tramtrack for holiday makers was more important than the state some areas are in for locals .Absolute joke waste of money
But if we get rid of the HMO's then where are Bolton, Skipton, Harrogate, etc, going to get rid of their scroates to?Whilst you have councils (in all areas not just Blackpool) trying to hold back the tides of change on the high street to 'reinvigorate it' there will never be meaningful lasting improvements. The high street is all but dead unfortunately for retail shopping. What would be great in South Shore and bond st/Waterloo Rd would be nice coffee shops, restaurants, cafe bars with a few retail offerings mixed in rather than betting shops and charity shops and bric a brac. Get rid of all the sh1tty HMOs everywhere and bedsits and help to turn back what are lovely buildings around that area back into beautiful family homes and desirable places to live.
They won't though, they'll knock sh1t down and make another car park
Years of labour neglect unfortunately, obviously now we’ve got a Tory mp it’s a start, just need the labour council voted out

So it's not a factor?I don't want any council to spend their time complaining about how their funding has been cut.
I want them to concentrate on ensuring that they make best use of the resources that are afforded to them.
