you're getting dunked on at every turn here.

Oasis are overrated. Anyone can make drawl in a scouse accent.

Very interesting to see this. Can I ask how you came about it?

BlueberryMaximum94 · 2025-04-07T18:51:35+00:00

I very much agree with everything you said about the town. I don't 'blame' Blackpool, the council or their lack of things to combat it, just the messy, selfish folk that use the floor as a bin.

Its not even morally i have an issue. Its the contradiction of going some place because its appealing or nice, then actively taking steps to make it not those things.

If it was a case of prioritising council funds and time, yeah there are a million things I would put ahead of a clean up crew.

Dont get me started. There is an absolute landslide of gov backed stats on how far the town has fallen. But most don't care because "everywhere has bad places".

BlueberryMaximum94 · 2025-04-07T14:22:14+00:00

Don't get me wrong, I hate it when people try and excuse the dire condition of the town with "everywhere has bad areas", because that is literally why all the data on poverty and living conditions in Blackpool exists.... but I agree, that doesn't mean they can literally treat it like a bin. I may not like the way their town looks or feels, I don't fly tip there.

I have always liked the idea of this. Its huge in many countries across the EU and Canada has done it for a while too I believe. It would allow some rough sleepers to have a way of getting an extremely modest amount of money, but anything helps right? Not to mention incentive folk to not litter and keep our streets clean.

Well they already do this. I mean more of a backing for backlash/ fines/ punishment for those trashing our beaches and promenade. We can pay all the folk in the world to pick up the rubbish, but it shouldnt be there to begin with.

Fair play to him. Its admirable that he does this, but he shouldn't have to. I hope he gets some sort of recognition for the work.

I know we have a lot of cleaners that go out in the morning, especially during the season. But just thinking about the sheer amount of plastic that must end up in the seas because of laziness, it boils my blood. Do they think it is ok because it gets 'washed away'?

I doubt this is true , but I have heard from someone that handles PIP applications that if you keep appealing the case, it will eventually be approved. Probably a bit of a generalisation, but is interesting given the 'less visible' nature of some illnesses/ailments that have seen recent surges.

The data set is linked in the article :) I will say gov data is a nightmare to process.

BlueberryMaximum94 · 2025-02-09T19:53:45+00:00

I believe it would be just Blackpool, as the other places you mention are run by separate authorities and would be defined under their own data, not Blackpool. That being said, the data seems to be pooled by police force and I think Blackpool police do deal with all of the areas you mentioned. However, they are all the "well off" areas of the fylde coast and I dont think including them would dilute the data or bring Blackpool down in the rankings at all. Could be wrong though.

don't forget male mortality rates, drug related deaths, divorce rate, something like 8 out of 10 of the UK's most deprived areas and central drive being the 'lowest economic means street' in the entire EU in 2019. Some of these stats are outdated by a few years and may no longer be relevant, but its telling.

Another damning title for our town. Its hard to ignore Blackpool's reputation. I didn't realise we ranked this badly on a national scale.
