Sir,

With reference to the proposal for the reduction of quality hotel streets like Reads Avenue, Palatine Road, Adelaide Street, Crystal Road and others Blackpool Council have decided to remove the protection of the holiday zone.

Many of these small business (Hotels and Other Accommodation types) in these areas have spent lots of money over the years improving their property in order to give their guests a quality stay with the personal and friendly atmosphere. The streets mentioned have more than half to three quarters holiday accommodation and by removing the protection some of the property will become HMO’s, and thus lower the quality of the property within the same street which, in turn, will reduce the value of the property that over many years the business owners have built up.

Where do you stand on this issue?

Yours sincerely
Mark Smith
