Land deal could bring 100 new jobs to Blackpool
Councillors are being asked to approve the sale of a site off Hawking Place in Bispham to enable the expansion of the Blackpool Technology Park.
The four-and-half acre plot already has a built access road past the Royal Mail Distribution Centre.

A report to the council's executive committee says: "The release of land at Blackpool North will enable the development of new business units completing the development at Blackpool Technology Park.
"This new development is expected to create 100 new jobs in Blackpool."
If the disposal of the land is agreed, development will take place in phases with initial designs suggesting three buildings would be built over a five year programme.
