Residents update session – 19 November

Local residents are being invited to see the progress of a new road between Common Edge Road and Amy Johnson Way

The Blackpool Enterprise Zone is a 25-year project to attract quality jobs to the Fylde coast.

To create the space for these jobs, we are building a new road connecting Common Edge Road and Amy Johnson Way. As well as creating new jobs, this will also reduce congestion on the business park.

For residents, it will improve Common Edge Road, provide a route through to Squires Gate Lane and improve the junction at School Road.

This road is funded predominantly by Blackpool Council, plus a £7.5m Government grant, meaning the majority of the work must be completed by March 2026.

Work is on programme, with the road aimed to open next year and local residents are invited to see the progress.

Date: Tuesday 19 November
Time: 4pm-7pm
Venue: Common Edge Community Sports Village, Division Lane West

Throughout the event, project managers and the contractor will be available to answer questions and talk you through the plans.
