About this listen
Is the Great British seaside back? Chris Webb, MP for Blackpool South, joins us to discuss how his iconic hometown is spearheading a national tourism comeback.
While many see coastal towns through a lens of nostalgia, Chris argues they are the key to unlocking millions in UK growth. In this episode, we explore:
- The Infrastructure Gap: Why broken transport links are the biggest hurdle to local economies.
- Beyond the Weather: Moving away from seasonal reliance through innovative hospitality.
- Devolution & Power: Why local autonomy is essential for coastal regeneration.
- The Blackpool Model: How the UK’s most famous resort could provide a blueprint for seaside towns nationwide.
From personal stories of Blackpool’s "Golden Era" to the hard truths of modern government support, this is a deep dive into the future of UK tourism.
