A woman from Fleetwood has been BLASTED for having the WORST CHRISTMAS TREE EVER after spending six hours decorating it.

Joanne, was subjected to comments including one person stating it "doesn’t look Christmassy at all”, while another said it was not “traditional” enough for them.

One person wrote: “It's screaming live laugh love.”

Joanne, who spent £150 on wreaths and decorations, said:

“I just love Christmas and my tree goes up early every year. I always like to get it up in November and I love decorating trees at work.

Urgent Need for Reform: SWEP Protocol in Blackpool Is Failing Our Vulnerable Population that it was designed to protect. " Says Mark Butcher , UK homeless campaigner.

I want to take a moment to address a pressing issue that has been weighing heavily on my mind: the SWEP (Severe Weather Emergency Protocol) in Blackpool. Last night, I experienced firsthand how outdated and inadequate this protocol is, and it’s time we shine a light on its shortcomings.

After four exhausting hours of phone calls, I was finally able to secure help for two individuals who were left to endure the freezing temperatures on the streets. This is nothing short of barbaric! It’s hard to comprehend how a system designed to protect the most vulnerable among us is instead creating barriers that discourage people from seeking the help they desperately need.

The lengthy process and lack of immediate assistance not only put lives at risk but also reflect a shocking disconnect from the reality faced by those experiencing homelessness. The SWEP protocol feels more like a bureaucratic obstacle course rather than a compassionate response to a life-threatening situation.

We need a system that prioritises human dignity and swift action, not one that forces individuals in dire circumstances to navigate a convoluted maze just to find shelter. It’s time for local authorities to reassess and revamp the SWEP protocol to ensure that it serves its intended purpose: protecting lives in freezing conditions.

Housing Options have adopted their own version of SWEP that allows people to slip through the net (less responsibility for them)

I urge everyone to speak up about this issue. We cannot stand by while our fellow citizens suffer in the cold due to an outdated and ineffective system. Let’s advocate for change and demand a more humane approach to emergency support in Blackpool from Housing Options.

Officers recently teamed up with Trading Standards and young volunteers from across the Fylde Coast to conduct an under-age sales operation as part of Operation Sceptre – a national, intensive week of action to tackle knife crime.

The exercise, which took place on Saturday (9th November 2024), aimed to ensure that local businesses across the Fylde Coast are complying with the legislation and that those under the age of 18 are unable to purchase knives.

Five stores failed across Blackpool and Fylde and two stores failed in Wyre by selling a bladed item to an underage volunteer.

Six of them were issued with a warning and will be revisited in the future to ensure they are complying with legislation. One store failed for a second time, and they will now be subject to further enforcement action.

Sergeant Dan Whitaker, from the Violence Reduction Network, said: “It is important that we continue to test local businesses to ensure they’re complying with the law.

“We will continue to run operations like this with our partners, to ensure knives do not get into the hands of young people.”

Nearly 2,000 knitted poppies have gone on display outside and inside a church in New Longton for Remembrance.

Members of All Saints Church have been busy stitching for the display ahead of Remembrance Sunday.

Vicar of New Longton, the Reverend Dr Tom Woolford, said:

"We are always trying to think of new ways to celebrate and mark our most important occasions, and we are blessed with many creative people in our congregation. The poppies display outside and inside the church is both beautiful and poignant, and will underline how seriously we take our responsibility to preserve and pass on our duty of grateful remembrance for those who have served our country."

What a great display!

Fleetwood Town wins for having the biggest, best bonfire back of Derwent Avenue.

The bonfire collected and ran by locals brought back the real spirit of November 5th 2024.

In comparison to local events a local said;

'How can anyone call Marine Hall a fireworks display, it was complete and utter rubbish. It was a display for the woke and snowflake brigade nothing else.

Another said;

"We are new to Fleetwood and went to Marine Hall tonight for the fireworks, it was strange having fireworks without the loud bangs but good on you for thinking of the animals and autistic children/adults who can’t cope with the noise.

Lovely to see so many come out to watch."

I think people had options tonight which is brilliant….a traditional event hosted by the local community, a more inclusive event that offers other people the chance to have a family night and many more local events.

We won’t please everyone at one event but I think Fleetwood gave people options.

Domino's Pizza has been forced to withdraw two of their popular dips amid allergy concerns. No Domino's takeaway is complete without coating a slice in their famous dipping sauce. Most of us will likely be fans of the iconic Garlic & Herb dip, which is almost as famous as the company itself, that comes complimentary with every pizza. Meanwhile others may prefer to douse their slices with more understated options such as Honey & Mustard, BBQ or Red Hot. Source @ladbible © 2024
