Fire at the Model Village

Fire at the Model Village

Fire broke out at the Model Village today and the flames were so high you could see them from 3 feet!!

Only joking, of course, thought we’d put a little blurb about this popular Blackpool attraction.

Blackpool’s award winning attraction the Blackpool Model Village & Gardens has been serving the Lancashire community since the late 1960’s.

They specialize in bringing smiles and laughter to their visitors and the staff can always be relied upon to be friendly and helpful

Cleaning Up Blackpool

Two dodgy traders got their cummuppence this week when they admitted breaching gambling laws.  Blackpool Trading Standards officers raided their hoopla stall and confiscated equipment.

Lancaster University tested the equipment which showed that the odds of winning were 2,622 to 1 against.

The pair received suspended prison sentences.

Its good to see positive action taking place to clean up Blackpool’s image.  There really is a good buzz about the place at the moment.

The vast majority of stalls, of course, are a bit of fun but we always advice to keep your wits about you and don’t be spending more than you should or can afford.  Apparently a doctor got stung with their scam to the tune of  £1200

What’s Your Favourite Part of Blackpool?

So we’re wondering what’s going to be Pall Mall and Mayfair –  the Tower must be strong contender….Zoo….Sea Life Centre

We can’t wait for it to hit the shops and won’t be getting much work done in the office when it does!

Blackpool Regeneration

Blackpool has a fantastic selection of attractions whether you are young or old, rich or poor. There is still something in this seaside town that is on offer for you.

Blackpool seems to have been having a bad time of things recently with regards to its reputation. The one thing that people seem to fail to remember is that the town itself is stooped in history and lots of people will have fantastic memories about trips to the seaside with their parents as children. The one thing that seems to remain in people’s memory is the image of donkey rides along Blackpool’s Promenade, or renting deck chairs along the golden mile whilst bathing in the sunshine. This seaside town still has all of these things.

At this point in time Blackpool is currently being redeveloped and alot of this seems to be around the town centre – particularly with the introduction of Debenhams. You’re in for a treat too, as work has already started on the Blackpool Gateway, a task which will bring a fresh look to the town centre and is planned to improve the business within Blackpool.

Many Blackpool hoteliers are looking forward to this as starting block and many believe that Blackpool’s image will take a well deserved boost. So why not has a break in Blackpool and come and see some of the fabulous attractions Blackpool has to offer.
