A seaside resort that was once bustling with tourists has become a ghost town, locals say.
Residents in Lytham St Annes in Lancashire have slammed their Tory council for for failing to support small businesses. The area is split into two towns - Lytham and neighbouring St Annes - and householders believe the two settlements are different in terms of economy and geography.
lan, who owns Ducks Nuts Tapas bar in St Annes, said: "I believe that the council, Fylde Borough Council, do nothing for business in St Annes. Why don't they celebrate new businesses and try and help new businesses?"
