Lovell has started the final redevelopment phase of the Queens Park programme in Blackpool.

The first phase involved dismantling of Ashworth Court and Charles Court and the construction of 92 new homes.

The final phase involves the demolition of the three remaining towers and the maisonette blocks to the south of Stirling Road.

A further 99 new homes will then be developed to complete the transformation of the Queens Park neighbourhood by Spring 2018.

The maisonettes are currently being demolished however the three remaining tower blocks at Elizabeth Court, Churchill Court and Walter Robinson Court will be brought down by an explosive demolition in early summer 2016.

Lovell project manager Peter Lewis said: "Following the successful completion of the first phase of redevelopment work at Queens Park, phase 2 is now under way. We're excited to be working on the next stage of this major scheme which is transforming the neighbourhood and creating modern, high-quality homes for local people.

"Public safety and security are, of course, our top priority as the demolition work goes ahead. We aim to minimise the number of residents affected and will be communicating with them and keeping them fully informed throughout. I'd also like to thank residents and local businesses for the patience, understanding and support which they have shown our team during the redevelopment work."
