Big plans on the way for Blackpool
The face of Blackpool is changing. Residents of the world famous seaside resort are watching their home town develop before their eyes.
Blackpool Central is set to also feature plans for a restoration of the site’s existing heritage buildings to create a thriving new Heritage Quarter. The Grade II Listed former King Edward VII Picture House is set to be transformed into a new ‘Artisan Food Hall’, which spills out onto new outdoor space for ‘al fresco’ dining.
Also coming to Blackpool in 2023 is a state-of-the-art, immersive movie experience at a new multi-screen development, the Backlot Cinema. The IMAX complex will feature one of the biggest IMAX screens in the country, standing at 10.8m by 19.8m, which is bigger than two and wider than six double decker buses.
"Once upon a time, Blackpool decided it was the cheap end of the market, the naughty end if you like, and to completely revolutionise that and bring in luxury trade, I don't know how they're going to do that. I just hope that plan they have works." "With the new multi storey car park having less than 20% more spaces than the parking area it replaces can and over 200 yards further away from the town.
Neill Twiss owns Renegade on Topping Street. His store is one of the many to benefit from the new store fronts. He said: "With the new conference centre and tram stops, hopefully Topping Street will be seen as part of the centre of town as some of the streets up this end feel a bit forgotten. One of the aims of the regeneration is to encourage new restaurants and eateries to open in the town centre. In recent years, Blackpool has seen a number of new places to eat open.
