      www.liveBlackpool.info is an independently published website for lovers of Blackpool, all about life in Blackpool. www.theBlackpoolilluminations.info is another of our sites about - The Blackpool Illuminations! You'll find posts here from that website too. Both are part of Visit Fylde Coast - a digital media product - online, on social and on enews. Whether you like to visit or are lucky enough to live here, the website and Facebook page are for you. Share your stories, news and views on this page and through the website with the new comments facility or email to jane@theRabbitPatch.co.uk Blackpool has a fabulous seafront and brand new promenade, golden beaches, and of course lots to do - and all these great things are there for residents to enjoy all year round, with a life by the sea. Blackpool has also got a good town centre for shopping, plus other local centres out of town. There are good public facilities, schools, hospitals and employment chances too. The trams are back on track, after a major re-build that's opened up the Blackpool area with a fast and modern tram link, for commuters and which is also fab for visitors to be able to get around and about. There's a strong community tradition in Blackpool too, with events held throughout the year in the town, plus the many events that are staged by Visit Blackpool as they attract tourists with things like the Lights Switch On, and Airshow. Smaller community groups are strong and work in their own areas, to make Blackpool a really great place to live. For business advertising please get in touch.
