A Blackpool Council spokesman said: “Unfortunately it continues to be necessary for the section of the road to remain closed from Gynn Roundabout to Warley Road as we have concerns about the structure of the former Sherwood Hotel.
"Our priority is to ensure the safety of road users and pedestrians.
“We are pursuing the owner of the property to take the appropriate action to ensure the integrity of the premises.
