Good video pal. The Royal British Legion was supposed to be demolished as part of the bigger plan, but I think it's been saved for the time being. 3:20 that ugly side of a building used to connect to the Reform Health Club, which also included Scrooge's Bar. 4:13 Natalie's has been going for years. I think the council want to get rid of all the brothels although they'll only push them further out of town. 7:17 believe it or not, there are people who live behind that door. 14:37 the old post office is supposed to become a hotel, but it has been empty since 2008.

Thanks for the info mate. I'll be back in the better weather for some more videos. Everything looks worse in the rain 🤣

[@tph2558]

Hello Deano i am a resident of Blackpool an expat from Yorkshire for 37 years This area you looked at King Street Milbourn Street Cookson Street is slowly being bought up by the council as soon as their leases come up The whole area is being cleared to make way for a new university Many areas in Blackpool are now being cleared for regeneration thanks to the multimillion pounds of government cash Our biggest problem is absent Landlords mostly from the south of England who bought property dirt cheap and expected to make a million in the first six months and have now deserted the properties and some who don't care as long as they get their money from housing benefits Many from over seas that have different ways of living I love this town and is home to different cultures of people all treat Blackpool as home I hope this has given you some sort of explanation as to the rundown areas Hopefully in ten years it will be a much better town

[@victoriasmith2143]

Came here to say the same I live in Blackpool too

[@DarrenNolan-fv9fc]

My nan is 96 and has dementia. She normally watches just episodes of Bullseye with Jim Bowen on VHS we have done for her but we have her started watched Deano as he reminds her of my dead dad. She is always asking to see Mrs Deano before she snuffs it. Even just a hand handing you something like a bag of frozen chips from Morrisons would put a smile on her face. God bless.

[@JustDeano]

Check out the Leeds Christmas Market video. Mrs Deano is the star of the show. Tell your nan i said Whats Happening Nan 😁

[@TOPCLASSGAMER44]

Most towns around the uk look like this these days its a shame really keep up the good work deano

[@tracyhutchinson4929]

Unfortunately, it's a sign of the times. Covid and online shopping and out of town superstores, has killed the high street, pretty much everywhere, you don't see green grocers, butchers, bakery's etc. Anymore, and little independent shops, can't compete with online shops.

[@jeremypreece870]

Spot on Tracy. This problem is facing town centres throughout the UK. Add to that the council's funding cuts (Council's money from central government has been cut year by year sine 2010). Meanwhile, many shop landlords carry on hiking up shop rents and some refuse to carry out repairs. The result is that it isn't economic to run a shop. Covid, lockdown and all that went with it simply accelerated the process. There has to be a radical rethink about Town Centres, because out of town superstores and online shopping isn't likely to be reversed.

[@dihuxtable7075]

Money needs to be spent on Infrastructure but billions spent on illegals and immigration. Tourism is dying in the UK because we are becoming a third world country. In my opinion

[@rosiew1952]

your 100% correct

[@dobr4481]

A lot of money has been spent on improving Blackpool, it has nothing to do with immigration, there are comparatively few immigrants in Blackpool & in the surrounding towns there are next to none. How do I know? I live there. Cheap flights & holidays to Spain, Greece, etc. have taken the place of holidaying in resorts like Blackpool, it's been declining in that regard since the 1970's. Blackpool is statistically the most deprived town in the UK & it has zero to do with immigration. Poverty, homelessness & drugs are the major problems in Blackpool & have been for over 4 decades.

[@RebekahMarnie]

@@dobr4481 love this super accurate and intelligent reply, thank you ❤️

[@dobr4481]

Nicest part of Blackpool is Stanley Park where Blackpool Zoo is located. There's a very nice large park with a boating lake. Many very nice houses too, very different from the centre which takes a battering from the salty sea air. Blackpool has a lot going for it, unfortunately it has many deprived boroughs & attracts 20 somethings looking to get drunk & cause trouble.

[@GreenoEats]

It’s sad to see isn’t it Deano. Lots of seaside towns suffering the same fate, and similar areas in a lot of non-seaside towns too. Lack of investment both private and government, leads to a lack of opportunity, that leads to poverty and a loss of hope, and hence a lack of pride from the local residents in where they live. Travel to any country in Europe and you won’t see deprivation like you do in some of our towns.

[@theabandonedhunter3604]

Well said Greeno 👏

[@averyBigdislikeofnigelDi-en3re]

I come from South London, its only 55 minutes from Clapham Junction to Brighton by rattler, when I was younger I went down there a lot, I loved the place, clean streets, fresh air, good pubs, fish and chips, a walk down the pier, a few hours sitting on the beach, a few beers in a pub next to the station the 7 o clock train home and in the Green Man at the end of the 14 bus route by 8.30. Loverly. I went a few weeks ago ... what a shit hole the place has turned into, its filthy, streets full of pot holes, weeds all over the place, grime and graffiti everywhere, pavements are dirty and greasy. junkies and beggars on every corner, drug deals going down in open sight. It was honestly like being in a foreign country in the Middle East or Eastern Asia. The final kick in the balls; I went to a shop for a few cans of beer and snacks to take back on the train (long gone are the train buffets) £3,40 per can for 4.5% lager , £3 for some stale unbranded crips ☹sadly .. Its all just part of the UK fast turning into a third world country.

[@Draegarth]

And then we realise that out of all the boarded up homes and empty businesses, practically none of them have for sale/rent signs meaning they're all part of some wealthy persons portfolio of properties and it's not even worth them renting them out cos the scarcity of homes is driving up the value more than they would make in rent. It's just disgusting...

[@Stevenh641]

According to Jane of visit fylde coast some of the buildings are being demolished to make way for new developments as part of the talbot gateway project

[@heinzer69]

Rough areas in every town. In Birmingham fly tipping in loads of suburbs like Aston. Lots of worse places than sunny Blackpool.😊

[@elizaann8495]

All them that are boarded up are to come down and are to be transformed and redeveloped some to become the new New Blackpool ‘Multiversity’ - Talbot Gateway Phase 4 some others like the old post office in the Town center is to become a Hotel

Nice 1 Deano. I do watch Stephen’s Channel “Mr Blackpool” but great to see your walk around the back streets. It just looks terrible. So much deprivation. I would like to take my daughters there for the pleasure beach and tower but got to be honest…. I’m unsure ….Smithy

Hi Deano, Thank you for the Mixer code and signed up to it yesterday. With regards to Blackpool, it has been in a long state of development and investment with many projects improving the area. In time this should all improve based on what I hear and see from the local council etc. Enjoying the channel and must get over to Whitby. Cheers Paul

All those knocking Blackpool is getting out of order now, if you visit any town or city in the uk there’s poverty & abandoned premises etc etc. The town is spending hundreds & hundreds of millions levelling up & as a resident I think k there doing rather well. Why not be different & concentrate your efforts on the 90% of the town / housing that’s fabulous rather than joining the bandwagon & knocking our town

[@RebekahMarnie]

I agree, Blackpool is an absolute gem of a place ! My family and I have been coming every year to Blackpool since I was a toddler age 3 and I still go back every year to this day some 30 years on ! Blackpool people are some of the most lovely, warm, welcoming, friendly people you could ever wish to meet. Salt of the earth type people. I love Blackpool, it has something for everyone, young and old . I have the best of fond memories of Blackpool from childhood to this current day ! People should not be so quick to judge or to down talk a place, especially when they don't even live there. I'm sorry about all these videos knocking Blackpool lately, I've seen a few too and I think it's wrong. Thank you John, Blackpool is my happy place and always will be ❤

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Deano wasn't knocking the place. I've lived here all my life, and I think it's a good video that highlights the town's problems.

The boarded up buildings are about to be demolished - they have been bought by Blackpool Council as they are building a new University in the Town Centre next to the new DWP building you can see built - lots of regeneration planned for Blackpool over the next few years.

[@simonrobinson9290]

It’s cheap foreign holidays to blame. They need to encourage people to holiday in the UK to help revive resorts like Blackpool. Make flights more expensive. We need to look after our own country not go spending are money by holidays in other countries. Whatever happened to the 2016 Brexit spirit of looking after Britain?

There is no excuse to having empty homes, I wonder how many people the council has on waiting lists needing homes.
