About Blackpool

As a major seaside town and borough of Lancashire, North West England, Blackpool is one of the most famous British seaside resorts. Situated along England's northwest coast located by the Irish Sea, it lies within easy access of Preston, Liverpool, Bolton and Manchester, making it incredibly well connected. It has an estimated population of around 142,000 people, and a high population density that makes it the fourth most densely populated borough of England and Wales outside Greater London. These high quantities of people do, of course, wreak havoc on the town’s roads, causing traffic congestion and increasing the demand for car parts due to both maintenance and accident damage.

Blackpool rose to prominence as a major British tourism destination in England when a railway was built in the 1840s, and as well as a regular influx of tourists to this day the town also routinely hosts major political and trade union conferences at venues like the Blackpool Winter Gardens. Strong transport links since the construction of the M55 motorway in 1975 makes Blackpool feasible and popular for a wide range of events, with a high number of vehicles hitting the roads during all months of the year. 

Blackpool has a total road length of around 284 miles with a strong network connecting the town to other areas. The M55 motorway links Blackpool to the national motorway network, and other major roads including the A583, the A587, the A586 the A584 and B5261 provide vital links for locals and through-traffic.

Unfortunately the amount of serious accidents on the roads of Blackpool has seen a slight increase in recent years, with more male drivers involved than their female counterparts. The junction of East Park Drive and Lawson Road has long been identified as an accident blackspot in the Marton area following regular crashes. The junction of St David’s Road North and St Leonard’s Road East in nearby St Annes also has locals feeling concerned, due to a number of speed-related accidents. Higher numbers of accidents heightens the demand for car spares.

Luxury British car manufacturer TVR formerly produced its sports cars at its Bispham factory in the Blackpool borough. If you love all things Ford then head to the Ford Day Blackpool, a great day out for Ford enthusiasts, or visit one of the Blackpool Vehicle Preservation Group shows and marvel at the huge range of classics.
