One of the main reasons we moved here, it was getting too crowded where I came from

Well I'm right on the edge of Blackpool, very nearly Fylde.   Blackpool gives 69% built, 4% farm. Fylde gives only 13% built up and 78% farmed.

The impression here though is that developers seem to have acquired every bit of green to put houses on. We keep asking ourselves who is buying them.

The aren't cheap houses either. It's the same around the north side of Preston. There is certainly some money about somewhere!
