The problem with Blackpool is that it has no industry, we used to have coach building, we used to have plane building we used to have car building , proper jobs . Now the council do nothing to encourage business to come to Blackpool, it is still trying to pretend to be a "holiday resort" Blackpool is not a resort , it is a cheap day out .
Duple Coaches on Vicarage lane and TVR cars...TVR was started by Trevor Wilkinson in a wooden workshop on Beverley Grove where I was born and grew up off Watson Road...I now live in South Barrington, Cook County Illinois, 40 miles from Chicago....Just watching a few YT vids of my old home town. It's sad to see it's gone down so much....
Too easy to blame the local council.
@@lizlizchristian It is the Govt to blame for allowing unlimited migrants.
Take 5,000 Spanish out of Blackpool and place would be better.
Well it's a tourist town, I mean they knocked down wilkos for a tram service and also built a new massive hotel down the road. ?? I think that says it all why not perk the place up first? You know on buildings and deprived area's.
@@JesusIstheNameTakenInVain need the hotel for all the migrants...
Keep your spirits up people
Your way stronger than they think you are
Your worth more than they are ?
It’s not about the money ..
Blackpool was the place to go to for a brilliant holiday but unfortunately the businesses didn’t put the money back into improving their business like b and bs they let them get run down so people stopped using them such a shame ,I stopped going to Blackpool because of that very reason
Blackpool was once a "dream holiday destination", but stupidly the visitors were often treated terribly by greedy landladies and publicans. It's not surprising that people found more welcoming destinations. I was born there in 1950 but left in the early seventies. The local council don't help much.
Its a funny old world, i was born there in the 60s but got out in the 80s , id never return to live there, its just a run down hovel thats past its sell by date
this situation continues to be dire by the minute , but hope the assistance continues to help those who really need it . Cannot find attractive people in poverty . Blackpool is a beautiful place cannot wait to go back
Agree
There's no way people are donating that much food to food banks.
Supermarkets do it too, depending onnthe supermarket.
People can donate money so the food banks can buy the food...
Was sad to see it so Quiet Thursday evening just gone. Hardly anybody around
Middle of winter during the week (and during a pandemic)......so hardly suprising
It's out of season it will be.
Well done for supportive sue wow wow strong lady .this should not be happening we should not be seeing anything like this coming into 2022 !!!!!!!!!!!!
However, achieving an equal economic system is a complex and challenging task that requires significant changes in policies, institutions, and societal values. It requires addressing issues such as income inequality, access to education and healthcare, and creating opportunities for marginalized communities.
I have lived in Blackpool for 25 years now and I think it’s a great place especially for places to visit and entertainment if you also include the other close by resorts as well such as st Annes and Cleveleys especially now the season has extended to January but the other half of me yearns for more - a lot still needs to be done and the council are either hardly doing anything or doing it very slowly - I mean the council have been promising a lot but hardly doing much over the years . I’ve been living here and it’s hardly changed much since the 90s and have seen less and less tourists coming and a quarter of people are unemployed here, there is a lot of crime and homeless increasing - it’s like every 200m I walk along the prom I see a homeless person sitting there and they harass people for money - it’s depressing and Its easy to see how tourists feel when they see this and then the town gets a bad reputation and even parts of the prom need improving as it can look quite tacky and dirty in places . But year after year hardly anything is being done . There’s some very derelict buildings and houses on the backstreets behind the prom . It seems like the government would rather line its own pockets and spend on the wages for the tons of people in the House of Lords most of whom are not really needed (the elite) and foreign aid and immigration than deal with its internal problems .
Blackpool maybe deprived but houses are still expensive.. I still have to shell out £130,000 for a house..
Although that’s a lot of money, it’s relatively cheap compared to everywhere else in England
I used to own a house in Bury Greater Manchester- sold it a few years ago for £125,000 Now that goes to show that Blackpool is not that bad a place right? If a 3 bedroom house there is comparable in value as a similar house in Bury. And house prices in Blackpool are rising as we speak!!
Je ne rigole pas
You wouldn't be able to get a Studio for that price in Surrey or Sussex, so that's dirt cheap in comparison
Have always thought the Blackpool suburbs have many beautiful houses which elsewhere would cost a fortune.
black used be on of the best place to live and visit there was a waiting list in the 70,s
Hartes Store have gone on line. Their old building is set to be demolished and become a parking area. So says the News.
Make n Sell stuff, socks , quilts , hats , oil candles. You need food plants , plant in plastics n sell n trees too. People will buy and spend $1 and .50 cents. Sprout lettuce ,. There's no plants there, nothing , no trees. Throw a table outside and get busy.. Handyman services , cleaning , services. , Save fruit seeds n sprout to sell.
If you het caught selling items ("making money") on benefits you'll lose all the funding and you'll have to pay back all the funding you ever received, plus a fine.
I don’t understand why these people who live on the breadline and need to go to a food bank have so many children? 1 is expensive enough, but having 3 children…..why? Contraception is free in the UK, there’s just no excuse for bringing children into such hardship
They weren't always poor, maybe she had twins with a first husband, got the last one with a second husband, then they split up and she fell into poverty.
People can have 3 kids, they have them before disaster strikes.
My mother had loads of kids and life was shit. I have ONE and he has been successful in life.
many years ago manchester city council wanted to resolve the problem families, drug addicts, ect, so sent them too blackpool in bb,
Etc Les
Not ect
Once again your making the town out to be the worst in the country and every single resident is jobless , that's not true nor is it fair in how you've depicted the town.
they did the same in my old home town of Halifax. only showing one aspect of a whole town. My house sold for peanuts due to bad press.
I agree.. this documentary is only focusing on the poor areas .. it tarnished the image of Blackpool.. there are many of us in Blackpool who are NOT low skilled uneducated living on benefits etc…
I’m a lawyer and teacher by training and I actually WANT to be in Blackpool.. if Blackpool continues to be painted in a bad light no investors or skilled workers would want to move to or live in Blackpool, investors will stay away - it will be a self fulfilling prophecy then .. Blackpool will never thrive if no one believes in its potential ( and YES I believe it HAS potential to improve)
I’ve live all over the world and poverty and disillusionment are the same everywhere ..
The media have a real issue with blackpool especially the sun newspaper. They printed some utter lies a while back showing how bad pontins was...as it was being demolished but they never mentioned that. Or taking photos on the prom.early morning of the arcades before they're open and said it was abandoned. Maybe we should boycott them like.liverpool do.

Little children chairs, stools , seashell necklace, earrings, . Really get your Plants n Trees Going, food Plants are Hot Sellers.. invest in your fresh food Supply. Thanks again
Blackpool is in rigamortis, its DEAD
Obesity looks more of a problem than food poverty, the Scotsman saying most people who use the foodbank are not the crud of society... this is simply untrue.
It is no surprise that a lot of people struggling financially are obese. Food from food banks helps prevent people from starving but it is far from healthy. Tinned and packaged food is full of salt, fat and sugar. That is why it is non perishable. Unhealthy food like processed meats, unhealthy starches like white pasta, rice, white bread, prepackaged foods and tinned food are all much cheaper then fresh fruit and vegetables, lean cuts of meat and dairy. People struggling eat far more fat, sugar and get much less of the vitamins, minerals and healthy fats their bodies need. Also there is a larger issue with people not being taught how to properly budget, how to prepare cheap and healthy proteins like lentils, dried beans, buying healthy on a budget, such as oats, whole wheat pasta and brown rice, frozen vegetables and cheaper veg such as carrots, onions, cabbages, the ability to grow your own veg, blanching excess produce and freezing it for later use, recognizing and utilizing free wild food stuffs through foraging such as stinging nettle, ransoms(wild garlic), crab apples, sweet chestnuts, acorns, to name a few, trapping pest species of game animals which in Britain does not require a license such as rabbits. There are lots of ways to obtain healthy food on a budget, problem is most people either cannot due to the area they live in or have never been taught how to by their parents and the school system.
Excellent words, you don't see this kind of thing as a solution in these programmes, they tend to solely concentrate on the negative angle. I like rabbits so maybe not on my menu, thank you for your reply
It’s not a hard place to live it’s great...people need to sort their heads out and get a job...stop spending your benefits on shit...and priorities your bills first!! Gets me angry
You can't just "get a job" when you're on benefits.. you'll lose all your funding (food, rent, childbenefits etcetera) and never get it back.
Judgement? You have been brainwashed into thinking everyone on benefits or are poor , are bad people... Look at Boris Johnson, monied , say no more!
