The rules are to control behaviour along the seafront
New powers are to come into force banning the use of tents for sleeping in shop doorways and on the Promenade in Blackpool . The measures will be included in updated rules agreed by Blackpool Council to control behaviour in the town centre and along the seafront.
“This proposed restriction received a high level of support from members of the public during the consultation process.” But controls over some other activities are to be lifted including the sale of lucky charms and heather, and card tricks,as these are all deemed not to be a problem now. Prohibition on the use of psychoactive substances, such as Spice, will also be removed from the order because there are separate powers in place to deal with such drugs.
