seems Blackpool council have decided to go European and are running a trial where you have to pay to use the sands/beach in certain areas, much like resorts around the 'med'
Couple of things come to mind , common law (Magna Carta etc.) says that all tidal areas between low tide and high tide are public lands how will they manage to keep 'interlopers' out , since the tide comes all the way up to the Promanade does this not mean all the beach is public land , also I thought Nu-Labour had introduced introduced new about 'right to roam' allowing access to all coastal areas even if it meant crossing private land .
any comments
