Blackpool Council has released details of its vision for the future of local government on the Fylde coast.

Blackpool will support a model that sees four councils delivering services across Lancashire.

In the proposal, the areas of Blackpool, Fylde and Preston councils would combine along with the western half of Wyre borough up to the River Wyre.

The proposed new council would deliver services across the Fylde coast, as well as out to Preston.

This would reflect the way many people on the Fylde coast live their lives with families and workplaces.
