Hopes have been revived that a £25m redevelopment of Blackpool’s historic former Post Office can be rescued – while ambitious plans to improve housing in the resort are also beginning to take shape.
Its new Levelling Up bid will also include an improved transport-specific bid to improve town centre access roads, and a bid to support the multiversity.Council leader Coun Lynn Williams, said the council was already delivering better housing through its £70m My Blackpool Home project, but added “a far greater scale of intervention is now needed to create the housing offer that will lead to a more stable, balanced community.
The post office scheme missed out on Levelling Up funding of £7m when the bid was rejected last autumn putting the future of the project to redevelop the Grade II listed building on Abingdon Street in doubt. But a report to full council reveals new bids are to be submitted by the deadline of July 6 including one seeking funding “to regenerate the former Post Office on Abingdon Street into a private sector-led boutique hotel scheme.
Councillors on the planning committee were warned last year the condition of the building, which closed in 2007, had deteriorated with concerns including water leakage. Coun Williams added the round two levelling up submission would also focus on education infrastructure with the proposed multiversity included.
