Covid restrictions that encouraged the rise of staycations in the UK last year helped the company that runs Blackpool's piers back into profit, new documents have revealed.
The Blackpool Pier Company, which owns the South, Central and North piers on city's Promenade, has posted a turnover of £16.4m for 2021, up from £7.1m in 2020.
It also reported a pre-tax profit of £4.7m for the year after falling to a loss of £196,315 in the prior 12 months.
