Work on community pitches next to the stadium are due to begin next spring
Plans for a new East Stand at Blackpool Football Club are due to be submitted next month – while work on community pitches next to the stadium will begin next spring. The updated time scales for the project – which has received £6.5m from Blackpool ’s £40m Town Deal – are included in a report due before councillors on Thursday October 10.
The report to the council’s Tourism, Economy and Communities Scrutiny Committee also says architects’ plans for the new spectator stand at the Seasiders’ Bloomfield Road ground, which makes up the second phase of investment, have been drawn up. A total of 16 properties on Henry Street which are required for the development have now been acquired by the council, with the first demolition work of garages due to begin soon.
