Blackpool Teachers Message.

clipped from www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk Fury at Blackpool teachers' away day conference BLACKPOOL'S education chiefs came under fire today for agreeing to splash out up to £40,000 on a two-day stay at a luxury Lakeland hotel. But rather than choose one of their hometown's own large hotels – many struggling to beat the recession – Blackpool headteachers have opted for the sumptuous Lakeside Hotel at Newby Bridge on the banks of Windermere.

If the message has not already reached the Council, let me put it in English. Your town is a dump thanks to consecutive councils. Don't believe me? Walk down Bolton Street, Bond Street, Little Beirut, around the Claremont Road district, or just go hunting for a decent dress shop, a class restaurant or a promenade that is not ankle deep in doggy parcels.
