Blackpool's off-season 'ghost town' where businesses are 'satellites orbiting Pleasure Beach'
Blackpool is slowly coming back to life. One by one, shutters are being raised. Beach balls and 'kiss me quick' hats are being hung back out for punters to buy.
"We planned for last year being particularly bad, because we thought foreign travel had opened and would affect us. Now, I think we're going to get day trippers when the kids are off, who are not necessarily spending a great deal but I think it should be okay. He said: "Last season was hard after a brilliant one the year before. There was a lot of people, but they weren't spending as much. And from what I can see so far, it's going to be the same. There are people out and about but we aren't getting the trade. The busy weekends and school holidays that have just gone, there were a lot of people, but we didn't take what we would have expected to and I think it's going to be like all the way.
"We've got busier, but the upsetting thing is that I've noticed some people don't come anymore. The little old ladies who have a very restricted income, we don't see them any more. And I think they're the most upsetting customers to lose," Susanne told LancsLive. "They're going back to that. The one thing some of these people had to take joy in was knitting, and they can't even do that anymore."
