  • Marton Drive in South Shore Blackpool is a rare tree & grass verged thoroughfare. Over the decades, many trees died out, such as Elm trees.
    An initiative to replant trees along Marton Drive is underway, with work due to start in March.

    Totally agree about the lack of respect for surroundings, Stephen. Makes me mad too. Do people not want to live in a nice looking place? 🤔

    Great video! I spent every Sunday here as a child as well as brownies and guides, lots of happy memories. I often walk past as I love just down the road and it does make me sad to see it in a state of disrepair. Great news about the new trees though!

    Glad to hear that the council have decided to plant more trees Steve. As well as improving the look of a road they will help to reduce pollution and offer shade in hot areas. There are some trees on some of the roads near the football ground. I would like to see a video of these roads.
    Sad to see the church left empty for so long. Far too many empty properties in Blackpool. Unfortunately the costs of redeveloping them are too high. You will remember Marton Library, a little further along Waterloo Road on the corner of Pine Avenue. For a few years it looked like that the library building would lie empty but luckily it got converted into flats.
    It's amazing how interesting you make a walk along a suburban road. Another very interesting video Steve. Thank you xxx

    We have the same problem here in Great Yarmouth cars and vans parking or driving through grass verges resulting in a churned up eyesore kerb. It got so bad here in parts the council erected large wooden posts to prevent this. It must be as we get older that we notice things like this as it certainly weren’t like it in my younger days, there was respect for the environment.

    • @AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool
      @AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The problem with putting posts in is that they make it hard to mow the lawns with the big machines, therefore leaving long bits of grass around the posts.

      FY stands for Fylde, which is the whole of the western part of the peninsula. From Poulton-le-Fylde up to Fleetwood & then down to Lytham stretches the FY postal area. Any further east will be PR for Preston.

      @AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool well the town I live in ( Newton Aycliffe ) is a new town they started building it in the 50s as an extension, for Aycliffe village because of rhe expansion of the industrial estate the village was too small so that's really why this town was built. But they really didn't think of the future. So they built loads of squares around greens, which looked picturesque but with the prices of cars dropping more people could afford them hence why this massive problem of literally nowhere to park 😒

    For those people who call for trees in Blackpool, the approaches to Whitegate Drive is generally regarded as the closest to the seafront that trees can flourish. If the council were to attempt to place trees any nearer, taxpayers would have a very good legal case against them for wasting taxpayers' money.....
