A local frustration that has gone on for some time
Along the Fylde coast proudly stands an array of seaside towns and villages, all with their own identity that makes them and the people in them who they are.
"Nothing whatsoever. They [the council] actually put on their website two weeks ago that they were celebrating a new charity shop in the high street and it wasn't a new charity shop, it had just moved from one place to another, but they were celebrating it. Why don't they celebrate new businesses and try and help new businesses?"
"They spend all of their money to help Lytham and very little help in St Annes. Walking around the high street and it's a totally different atmosphere to St Annes and it's not because they've got better shops there. Alan alluded to the fact that many visitors take a trip to the nearby beach, but are not encouraged to walk into the town to spend their money. This sentiment is echoed by the ladies behind Margaret's Florists on Wood Street.
Nearby is also Squire, a men's clothing shop that shut down and Apple Bikes, a large bike shop serving the Fylde Coast.. On the high street, Shoe Zone has also closed its doors for the final time, as well as the vacant building of JR Taylor's that's been vacant for a number of years. Full statement from Fylde Borough Council A spokesperson said: "Fylde Council values all of our businesses and the contributions they make to the local economy, which is why we have a dedicated Business Engagement/Town Centres Officer in post to support all businesses across the Fylde Borough. As a Council, we are proud of our relationships with the STEP and STAIR groups, with whom we are pleased to work with to address the concerns of local business owners.
