A Wyre councillor has apologised to Blackpool residents for remarks he made about the town from his Twitter account.



Mike Barrowclough's comments were made under the Gazette's video of the demolition of the Premium Bonds Tower in Marton.

He Said:

"Just what's needed. When are they blowing up the rest of cesspool?"

When challenged by another Twitter user about his remarks, his reply was:

"I take it from your reply that you've never visited Blackpool? If not I will show you the delights of Central Drive and co."
