'Vacancy, disrepair and anti-social behaviour' have all been used to describe the Foxhall area of Blackpool as a new plan is put in place to better the suburb
One of Blackpool’s oldest districts has been given special protection with new plans approved to preserve its character. The Foxhall area is made up of a grid of streets opposite Central Pier and evolved into a dense areas of lodging houses and private homes over the course of 50 years from the 1860s.
“Foxhall retains a strong sense of place and community and has a very distinct character which differs from the other key boarding house areas in the town.”But it warns: “Vacancy, disrepair and anti-social behaviour are having a negative impact on the appearance and perception of the conservation area.”
Streets within the conservation area include Chapel Street, York Street, Yorkshire Street, Bairstow Street, Singleton Street, Caroline Street and Shannon Street.Approval of the management plan means stronger powers can be used to protect the conservation area including serving notices on property owners requiring derelict buildings to be repaired.
