BLACKPOOL CENTRAL - NEXT STEPS

From: ExecutiveMonday, 15th September, 2025 6.00 pm - September 15, 2025

To market the site on a national and international stage to potential future investors and developers, and to promote the significant opportunity that the site has to offer. The Council has worked hard over recent times on preparing the site for future development. These works have resulted in a site which now offers fantastic development potential, with the full availability of the land now firmly within the Council’s control. Many of the barriers that previously existed have now been removed, with the construction of a new multi-storey car park and removal of the former police station and courts building to name but a few, both freeing up large areas of the site for the construction of new facilities. This was seen as a significant step forward and one which can only help to enhance the appeal of the site and opportunity that exists.
