Let's hope they read it before the deleter removes it.

I think the Houndshill owners are hanging on due to the depressed property values, but given that that isn't going to change any time soon I am curious about why the Council are going gung-ho about acquiring the property when the prospect of any construction work is bleak. I suppose they have to do it sometime and it makes sense when the values are depressed. No worries about that Zim.

I hope when someone does take it over it is a more buoyant company who will continue to invest in Houndshill and commit to Phase 2. That block of buildings is an eyesore and needs demolishing.

I really do hope it happens though. On another point I have a big email coming your way by the end of the week Phil, I'm' sorry for the delay, I'll explain everything when I email you.

I was reading a 'retail report' on the planning application for the Talbot Gateway and it stated on there the abundance of retail provision aimed at the lower end of the market. I for one will be very happy to see more upmarket provisions in Blackpool. Well said Frustrated.

It's about time Blackpool had some sense and didn't just go for the low budget, low profit end of the market and the Winter Gardens is a fabulous site.

I like the sound of boutiques as well something different and will hopefully attract a better class of visitor along with some more quality restaurants.
