Talking People who moved next to Blackpool's sand dunes complain about sand in their garden

Priceless

Quote:


CALLS are being made to stop wind-blown sand making life a misery for seafront residents.

Thousands of pounds is being ploughed into clean-up operations to remove sand from St Annes roads – but now community leaders want to see a more long-term solution implemented.

Last month, more than 2,000 tonnes of sand was collected from the town’s streets and Coun Tony Ford, who represents Ashton ward, said he had been inundated with complaints from residents about the volume of sand on the pavements.

Prisoners from HMP Kirkham have been drafted in to help clear more sand, but Coun Ford said: “Residents are fed up with a lack of effective action in addressing the problems of wind-blown sand.

“While is it very much appreciated more efforts are being made to clear the sand through the use of inmates from Kirkham Prison, action needs to be taken to lower the height of at least one of the dunes which is encroaching on the North Beach car park.

“Attempts should also be made to block up some of the blow-holes, fence off sections and plant them up with the appropriate grasses and other vegetation to stabilise them, and to reduce the amount of wind-blown sand.

“I’ve been asking for action on this since I was first elected in 2007. There seems to be too many agencies involved but little action.”

The problem will be presented to members of the council’s community focus scrutiny committee next week, and they are being asked to provide feedback on how the issue should be managed in the future.

Residents living adjacent to the beach at Summerfields complained earlier this year after being forced to fork out hundreds of pounds to have the sand cleared from their gardens.

Other homeowners clear their gardens themselves and dump the sand on the pavement, causing more problems for the council.

It reminds of me of that couple that moved to a small village and then had the audacity to complain about the church bell ringing and disturbing them. Some people are such ****tards.

The people that chose to live by the sand dunes. It's sand, it blows in the wind. Why choose to move by it?

Funny thing is, if they get their way and clear the dunes, they're more likely to get flooded

It's no different from idiots who buy houses near Heathrow and then complain about the noise of planes landing and taking off.

A facepalm wouldn't be able to justify my thoughts on this.

Had the same thing in my local village. Some newbies blew in and complained to the council about the church bells that have been rung for hundreds of years. Some people, eh?
