Despite reports claiming it’s one of the worst towns in the North West for grimy streets, Cllr Ian Fowler says Blackpool’s streets are “cleaner than ever”.
He attempts to blame a number of things for Blackpool’s poor showing in the crap streets league table, but of course doesn’t blame himself as the councillor responsible. First of all he disputes the figures as being old because they were from 2008/2009 and says that it’s much better now. Then he blames parked cars for a build up of detritus. Hmm. He then tries to spin that the streets are dirty due to the fact that Blackpool has increased footfall compared with most other towns. Explain why the streets are minging now then Ian. We’ve not had a tourist for 7 months.

It’s been proposed that St. John’s square will become a den of crime if buses and taxis are banned from it.
It came as absolutely no surprise to discover that the source was a taxi driver. By the second sentence the story is already a non-tangible fail, but it’s the start of the week so I’ll assault it a little more.

We’ve seen Blackpool tarting the town up with hoardings in empty shops but up on Tyneside the council have thought of an even better scheme.
Fake shop fronts.
And I’m not joking.
