Labour — Blackpool South

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 November 2026

Debate

Business of the House

Contribution

Blackpool is ranked second nationally for abandoned buildings. I know that the Leader of the House, as a fellow coastal MP, sees and feels at first hand the impact of derelict and empty properties on towns like ours. The £1.35 million that the Government have given Blackpool from the derelict buildings fund will build on the work of the council’s empty properties taskforce, launched earlier this year by the council’s leader, Lynn Williams. I want residents and business to help us shape what we prioritise. Will my right hon. Friend join me in encouraging residents to complete my survey so that we can take their priorities directly to Blackpool council’s empty properties taskforce in two weeks?
