Blackpool Homes Demolished for Stadium Upgrade

Demolition of houses on Henry Street, located behind Blackpool Football Club's ground, has received planning approval from Blackpool Council, marking the end of a three-year delay. These terraced homes directly adjoin the Bloomfield Road stadium.

The initial plans intended to construct a new East Stand, but the project has evolved. The existing East Stand will now undergo upgrades, including the installation of 4,797 new seats and improved media facilities. The demolition specifically aims to free up space for a new concourse to be built behind the upgraded stand.

This revitalization effort also encompasses the nearby Revoe Sports Village, a community facility funded by the Town Deal. It will feature enclosed, floodlit artificial grass pitches for both 11-a-side and five-a-side games, along with a changing pavilion.
