Had to go over to Balckpool this morning so seeing as it glorious weather up here we went the scenic way through Lytham etc. etc. etc.
First it was a constant stream ( 20 we think, should`ve counted properly ) of motorhomes of all shapes and sizes coming away from the area through Warton and Freckleton Bypass going towards Preston
From Fairhaven, South Promenade, Lytham St. Annes to the other end at North Promenade we counted 48 parked on the road and had clearly spent the night there.
There was also a C&CC rally on at the AKS Lytham Independant School with what look like approx 100 units on it.
7 motorhomes were parked on the aire at the Swimming Pool, 5 were also parked in the small official ( it`s signed ) Coastguard North Beach car park off Clfton Drive North.
9 parked on the promenade at Blackpool and will probably be getting ticketed and 5 at Gynn Square.
Blackpool has avery large and mostly used area at the end of Yeadon Way which is all car parking and could very easily have an aire set up on it, the services / utilities are already there so a simple set up with water / grey / black disposal along with recycling and waste facilities could be made.
A small reasonable charge and and bus stop outside the aire would do a roaring trade and boost the economy for the busnesses there as well.
But then again, pigs might fly because all the highly respected and trustworthy councillors seem to have their fingers in the campsites that charge exorbitant prices for being at the seaside.
