£57m sea defence plan in Blackpool moves forward
A planning application’s now in for a major sea defence scheme—set to build 17 new rock headlands between South Pier and Cocker Square.
Plans for a multi-million pound sea defence project in Blackpool have been submitted, aiming to save the town’s beaches and protect against flooding.
The £57 million scheme would see 17 rock headlands built along the seafront, stretching from just south of South Pier to north of North Pier.
Council bosses say it’s vital to safeguard homes, businesses, and the town’s future as a top seaside destination.
Work in Anchorsholme has already started, with more coastal defences on the way.
