We understand the work needs to be done, but we would just like a bit of courtesy and to know how to get to and from our homes.”
“How long can the council disregard residents and businesses on the lane, and inconvenience home owners and clients of these businesses by these lengthy delays?” They said: “This part of Midgeland Road is a country lane and we had a lot of accidents which is why we had to close it. A lot of horse riders use it but the riding school can’t bring their horses out now, it’s dangerous for children and for elderly people living in the care home on this stretch of the road.”
A Blackpool Council spokesperson said: “The works on Common Edge Road are essential to open the new £6m sports pavilion, changing rooms and pitches and have to be completed this year as there is a time limit on the Town Deal funding for the works.
