Construction starts this week on phase two of Blackpool’s £100million Talbot Gateway city centre regeneration programme.
The development will see the town’s existing Wilko store demolished, the completion of the new tramway interchange at Blackpool North Station, construction of a new underpass and a new Holiday Inn hotel.
The five-storey Holiday Inn will feature a restaurant, a bar, conferencing facilities and ground floor retail outlets.
Construction on the Holiday Inn is scheduled to start in October 2020 and complete in April 2022.
