Claire Smith, president of StayBlackpool, said she welcomed the consultation launched by the government
Hoteliers in Blackpool have welcomed government moves to strengthen controls over the growth of short term lets such as holiday homes advertised on Airbnb websites.
In Blackpool there are around 454 short term lets operating, with many outside the traditional holiday areas. The spread of tourist accommodation into residential neighbourhoods has led to complaints about noise, anti-social behaviour, parking and rubbish collection.Hoteliers group StayBlackpool is campaigning for its Blackpool Approved Visitor Accommodation Scheme to be made compulsory in the town including for the short lettings sector.
