Goal 1:  Improve Blackpool's Economic Prosperity

Our key objectives are to...

• Create high quality all year round reasons to come to Blackpool
• Establish Blackpool town centre as the sub-regional centre of the Fylde Coast
• Promote enterprise
• Improve transport and increase accessibility

Strategic Aim
By 2028, Blackpool will have a stronger all year round economy providing high value jobs. Visitor numbers will have increased and families, couples and elderly people will enjoy a reinvigorated resort.

The former Central Station site will have new investment and our visitor accommodation will be nationally accredited. The town centre will have a quality retail offer and will be the natural first choice for Fylde Coast residents. Talbot Gateway, as an extension to the town centre, will offer an exciting range of civic and commercial facilities within a high quality public realm which captures the essence of a regenerated Blackpool.

Our heritage will be preserved and we will work with partners to improve the quality of our cultural offer to become a key asset for the economy of the town. The town’s transport network will be recognised as one of the best in the country.
