Resort homes still await bulldozers for football stand
Blackpool Gazette
|August 20, 2025
One half of a street in Blackpool is still awaiting the bulldozers as plans to demolish houses for a major football development remain on hold.
Properties on the west side of Henry Street, off Bloomfield Road, have largely been bought up by Blackpool Council as part of the plans to make space for a key sports development.
Blackpool FC are making plans for a new East Stand via a final planning application set to be lodged with the town hall.
It is part of an overall scheme which includes new community sports pitches as part of proposed the Revoe Sport Village, utilising land at the side of the football stadium.
