Blackpools Last Casino Hope
MPs from the Blackpool area have made there way to Westminster for critical talks with Tessa Jowell, the UK's Culture Secretary, these talks are due to take place today in a bid to save Blackpool's super casino dream, according to a report by the Blackpool Gazette.
MP’s Joan Humble, Gordon Marsden, and Ben Wallace from the Fylde Coast only have 45 minutes to persuade Mrs. Jowell at her Westminster offices not to accept the UK Casino Advisory Panel’s recommendation that the UK's first regional casino license be awarded to Manchester.
One of the key points will be to urge Mrs. Jowell to allow MP’s to have two separate votes when the recommendations come to Parliament, which is expected to be later this month.
There plan is to get the vote on the regional casino license separated from the vote to confirm the locations of the 16 other smaller casinos. That would give MP’s the chance to go forward with the recommendations for the smaller casinos while contesting the surprise recommendation of Manchester for the regional casino.
