The Grade II* listed building has been empty since 2007
Concerns have been raised over the viability of two Blackpool regeneration schemes amid fears funding may not be able to be spent in time to meet government deadlines. Minutes from the latest meeting of the Blackpool Town Deal Board warn proposals to restore the former Post Office building on Abingdon Street remain in the balance while structural surveys take place.
They add that until “consequent design measures have been proposed and tendered, it cannot be finally confirmed that the scheme is viable”. The Grade II former Post Office building has been empty since 2007 and has since fallen into disrepair. A £15m contribution from the Levelling Up Fund towards a new town centre access scheme in Blackpool is also reportedly under threat as the money needs to be spent by the end of March 2026.The Town Deal meeting minutes say the scheme cannot be delivered by that deadline as “such extensive works being delivered at one time would have a major negative impact on the flow of traffic in the town centre”.
