'These properties become magnets for crime and anti-social behaviour'
Derelict properties including abandoned cannabis farms are creating a blight in some Blackpool neighbourhoods, it has been claimed.
Mr White told a meeting of the full council on Wednesday June 28: “Having moved to Blackpool in 2005, I see many of the abandoned buildings still the same 20 years later. Are the owners being chased, are the owners being charged council tax, business rates or both to encourage them to deal with what are often dangerous eyesores?“These properties become magnets for crime and anti-social behaviour.
“More must be done to support the communities and Blackpool’s heritage and family run b&bs that people would normally return back to time and time again.” She said a new strategy to tackle the issue was due to go before the executive in September, while the council already worked with partners including the police.
