The Blackpool Pier Company is aggressively appealing Blackpool Council's repeated refusal to grant planning permission for a massive new Log Flume and a towering Starflyer ride on either side of the South Pier headland.
​The Pier's Argument: Pier bosses argue that the multi-million-pound attractions are desperately required to stimulate modern tourism footfall. Crucially, they state that the ongoing commercial revenue generated by these new white-knuckle rides is 100% vital to fund the endless, multi-million-pound structural repairs and timber maintenance required across all three of Blackpool’s historic piers.
​The "Disingenuous" Accusation: In a explosive statement to the Planning Inspectorate, the pier company slammed the council as "disingenuous," pointing out that the local authority readily grants itself temporary permission for massive holiday rides at the annual Christmas by the Sea village near North Pier, but blocks private family operators from doing the exact same thing.
