Two small communities on the Fylde coast are in line for £20m each to give them a new lease of life and help revitalise their public spaces.

The areas - within Blackpool and Wyre - are home to just a few thousand people and have been chosen to benefit from the expansion of a government fund targeting locations described as “long overlooked”.

Under the nationwide Pride in Place fund, they will each get £2m every year for the next decade to deliver sustained changes that will be determined by locals themselves.

Meanwhile, Blackpool is one of six council areas in Lancashire that will be handed £1.5m from the same pot to spend right across its patch.

It means Lancashire will get £129m in total from the fund.

The localities that will receive £20m windfalls between now and 2035 - known as middle-layer super output areas (MSOAS) - are different to council electoral wards and do not align with them, even if their names are identical or similar. They can also cross ward boundaries.

On the Fylde coast, the chosen two are:

• Little Layton and Little Carleton (Blackpool) - roughly bound by Westcliffe Drive in the west, Poulton Road in the north, Horsebridge Road in the east and Northway Avenue in the south;
