May 7; the eagerly-awaited results come in and there is joy and equally disappointment depending where on the Fylde Coast you live.
Fylde remained blue, but Labour was never a threat anyway and Mark Menzies looks to be a very good candidate, the very popular Ben Wallace kept hold of Wyre where again Labour was never a threat. Congratulations Mr Menzies and Mr Wallace.

We have 4 days left until possibly one of the most significant general elections in recent decades. This time last year it seemed relatively certain David Cameron would be taking the keys to No.10 next friday. However now with the opinion polls going haywire in the past few months there is increasing unertainty and the looming possibility of a Hung Parliament, an outcome not seen since 1974.
Today we are less than 4 weeks away from the General Election and we have 6 candidates for Blackpool South yet I have not seen ONE single campaign leaflet or manifesto. It feels like there is no election. I would have thought at this crucial stage the candidates would be desperately pitching for our votes, well they’re not trying very hard.

A couple of years ago Blackpool Council unveiled ‘The Saturation policy’ which in one sentence is basically a policy that was meant to curb the opening of binge drinking outlets. Now at first that sounds like a admirable enough ambition to try and restore a bit of quality to Blackpool’s nightscene.
Apologies for the misleading headline, that was just a swipe at the sensationalist journalism of the Gazette. But as announced in Friday’s Gazette there is a very interesting plan for the former Palace nightclub.
Former UKIP leader and current MEP Nigel Farage has today been dealt a hammer blow as Euro rebel Nikki Sinclaire MEP was reinstated by the National Executive Committee.
Sinclaire left the Europe for Freedom and Democracy (EFD) alliance (of which Farage is joint leader) due to it containing one or more right wing anti-Semitic parties and chose to sit with the non-allied MEPs in the European Parliament. Farage went into a frenzy and along with Paul Nuttall MEP called for Sinclaire to be booted out of UKIP.
I am truly passionate about Blackpool, I was born here and I am proud to be from Blackpool. But I hate what it has become in some ways. Blackpool is a great place to live, always lots to do, great nightlife and I love living by the seaside.
