Sky news report once again stressing that 8 out of10 of the most deprived areas in the country are here. This was a report looking at whether Liz Truss will get the vote here.

And we have a promenade stretching from Starr Gate to Fleetwood that is the best in the country.This is difficult.
I've lived in Blackpool for over 50 years. All of that has been north of the Gynn, but once you go south from there until you get to the old railway bridge on Lytham Road, most of the area in between really is a shit hole.
Because of the nature of the housing, it's inevitably inhabited by people who are on low incomes, and/or benefits. This cheap housing does attract people from other towns who are on very low incomes, and so the downward spiral continues.
I don't know what the answer is, but large scale raising to the ground would be a good solution for quite a few of the streets off Dickson Road, Devonshire Road, Lytham Road and Central Drive.
And yet in Stanley Park we have probably the best park in the country, and a fantastic open space called the beach.
I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
