Blackpool speak out over Casino bid

Supporters of Blackpools bid to host the first UK Super Casino, spoke out against a government-commissioned report that suggested there was not enough space in the city Blackpool for a Super Casino.
Mr Mark Etches, a gaming consultant and former MD of Leisure Parcs, branded the report as a Load of rubbish, saying that the reports conclusions were not backed up by the evidence.
The report, which claimed that Blackpool had no space left for a development on such a large scale, this is a huge setback for Blackpool Casino bid – a frontrunner for the casino license up until that point.
But Blackpool council leaders although angry about the report, claim not to be taking the reports conclusions seriously.
