Sports village vision to get people out and using facilities

Plans are being put together to create a 'sports village' linking amenities in Anchorsholme, Norbreck and Bispham.

The idea is to promote the various sporting activities across the three wards by putting up information boards in key areas such as Anchorsholme Park and an area close to the Tee Time car park and Blackpool RUFC, off Fleetwood Road, near Norbreck.

Sporting activities such as cricket, rugby union, junior football, archery, golf, netball, tennis and bowling will be promoted, letting people know where they are taking place.

The plans are being put together by Norbreck ward councillor Julie Sloman, who is also looking to help Blackpool RUFC and the Tee Time Golf by improving access to the amenities.
