Blackpool in Tier 3. What's Open, What's Not

I go on a tour of the town centre & central areas of Blackpool to find out what places are open and those that are not during the Level 3 lockdown imposed by the government. Recorded Saturday 17th October 2020.

[@nicholassisley5736]

I'm a regular visitor to blackpool so sad to see this video , I doubt if many of thie closed businesses will survive this .its bloody criminal what the government ate doing to this country.

[@jennyfoster792]

If people had listened and just done what was asked and it’s happening all over the world, the government have tried and I’d love to see idiots like you sort this mess, what about our elderly vulnerable what about our paramedics nurses drs careers, so many selfish and ignorant

[@jennyfoster792]

@Kev White I’ve listened as I’ve lost loved ones thru this pandemic and my mum as now got heart failure and kidney disease from the damage it did, I trust our nurses drs specialists and I listen to there advise, just want this nightmare over, whilst people ain’t complying it’s costing more lives and businesses

[@jennyfoster792]

@Simeon Webb your a moron and I got nurses in family and drs plus family members had it, your a nutjob and my god go offer your services on a Covid ward or care home but you won’t because your just a childish troll who I block, your going cost lives and businesses your that thick and selfish it will come back on you

[@rooftop8339]

@Kev White you need to stop watching tv kev and stop being a covidiot.

[@teresaseary8489]

Thank you for showing us what’s opened and closed , ma Kelly’s closed 🙈 had many good times in there 🥳 thanks for posting keep posting ❤️

Good to hear Cookson Street getting a mention yet again I knew you couldn’t resist 😉. Another great insight into this northern coastal resort #LoveBlackpool

[@andymullaney2704]

A hope any Scots enjoy them selves and got in there hotel ,they paid there money ,no one should sleep rough ,anyone suffering deppresion and upset ,or need to chat , always here to help,stay safe Andy

Such a shame to see so many businesses shut but understandable. I just hope they can bounce back.

Very informative. We are due to stay in Blackpool just for one night this coming Friday. Please keep the information coming on places I can visit with children too if possible. That would be greatly appreciated.

Sir, great videos, liked the way you “interracted” with the street life on yesterday’s video when they were all screaming and balling after exiting the pubs! Great atmosphere - well captured and nice editing!

[@davidclark3603]

Thanks for the video. I hope Blackpool recovers from this. Some of my favourite memories come from there, all my life.

[@ladytron1724]

Why are the bookies shut but the amusement arcades are open?

[@G4RY1159]

Yet all the test stations are empty Some of this stuff just doesn't hold water

[@ShazzAnne]

My grandson needed a test, his mum had to take him to Wales for one cause there was none available near Blackpool. His appointment was 7:30 pm and he’s 6 yrs old. My daughter had to go to the Lake District for hers. Lack of tests, that’s why testing stations are empty.

So sad to see Blackpool shut down like this. I go to Blackpool every October, but sadly not this year, especially with Shenanigans shut, the best pub in Blackpool, glad I'm not going really 😢😢

[@derekhart3308]

Wow even despite pubs are closed or ones are open etc ....first time I've seen Blackpool so quiet it looks like a Sunday morning than a Saturday afternoon.... I was planning to be in Blackpool this week, but was checking what was going to be open etc. I now plan on going hopefully next month instead for couple of days . Despite what first minister Sturgeon won't stop me going to Blackpool! Unless she stops all public transport to Blackpool. Is the Tower and Madame tussauds still open btw?

Surprised the Rose and Crown is shut, it definitely fits the serving substantial meals category.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

I would have thought so.

[@G4RY1159]

That Casino at Coral Island is a dodgy dodgy place, never known ANY1 to ever get a decent win in the place, Q'ing up to get into an arcade, Mmmmmm I'll pass

great video if you go into the pub do you have to have food to get a drink ? Benidorm mad mike

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Technically, yes.

Probably not.

No house visits. All worker's have to have a permit to work. Up to $10000 fine/penalties for doing anything outside of the rules. Basically hose arrest even in aria's with no covid or any history of it.
