  • Some dashcam footage from a drive along the eerily quiet Blackpool Seafront. This was shot while making essential deliveries in the food industry.

    I'm so glad you did this video. Whilst this horrible disease has by no means gone away, at least now we're seeing some light at the end of the tunnel. Over the next few years I hope to support our own tourist industry. Rather than getting on a plane to go abroad I'd rather help Blackpool and other holiday spots in the UK get back on their feet.

    Thanks for sharing your video, this was my home town for many years. It's strange how it stays in your blood. I miss the sea. I still have family in the area I think! though we are estranged I never stop thinking of you all. Pamela, Barbara, Iris, Sarah. I'm in my sixties now and it's been a long long time. I can only hope that you are well and that you are safe . Kind regards Paul from London

    Interesting to see what it will be like this coming Easter weekend ; probably similar. Not that I will be able to see it even though I live here. I expect that the police will be stopping cars at the end of the M55 and if they seem to have travelled out for the day they will turn them round.
    Hopefully the policy works to curb the spread of this nightmare disease.
    I cannot imagine what all the hundreds of thousands that live cooped up in tower blocks in London and other cities feel . Lets 's hope we all have a peaceful Easter.
