There's a lot happening in Blackpool with new developments, regeneration etc.
One of the key tourist routes into Blackpool is by train, you can see some of the improvements here... Talbot gateway, new shop fronts and buildings rendered etc. Talbot Square looking good. It's getting there.
Turtle Bay on the way to that area too.
New ambulance hub is looking good.
More trees planted every year finally greening places up.
Maybe someone got a tad carried away with the new Lytham... but good to see Highfield Road doing well.
Blackpool Central coming on...
The revoe sports pitches are due not far off and the new east stand will improve the area.
Work is underway on the new civil service building, one part of increasing footfall in town to help businesses.
The Multiversity is planned... bringing huge educational benefits and more footfall.
The museum is another thing coming soon.
New attraction...
There's a new arcade near to the Tower where the old woolworths used to be.
New look Abingdon Street market.
Any more? Probably missed loads of smaller things. Please add to the thread.
