'If you spent £10 billion gentrifying it, all you’d get is Miami with rain and donkeys' 🧐
Blackpool has been ranked fourth from bottom in a list of Britain’s 20 best and worst seaside towns with its scathing assessment declaring that even £10bn investment would get you "Miami with rank and donkeys".
Factors such as housing, high streets, renovations and conservation were all scored, along with a resort’s “cultural clout”. The newspaper said: “Only a small sect of nostalgists will insist there’s nothing better than slot machines, watery cockles and dubious comedy sets.”Bottom of the list was Rhyl in North Wales with a score of just five out of 100. Blackpool was just three places higher with a score of 22/100.
Incorrectly labelling Blackpool as a city the report didn't hold back in criticising some of Britain's best-loved seaside towns. Although places like Blackpool have "always had pockets of money", according to The Telegraph it also has its fair share of misery.
