Welcome to North West Coastal Resorts

North West Resorts & Attractions Petition
As most of us are probably aware by now, Our member of staff Jim set up a petition to the Prime Minister on behalf of NWCR members earlier this year to ask the Prime Minister to make funds available to save our coastal resorts and their historical attractions. The petition ended on 4th September 2008 with only 164 signatures. As there were less than 200 signatures, the petition is not likely to get an official reply from the PM's office. Many thanks to all who supported us by signing up.
 

2009 £5 Entrance Fee for Blackpool Pleasure Beach
Blackpool Pleasure Beach has announced that it will charge a £20 entrance fee during October. All visitors to the popular theme park, with the exception of children, under 1m high, will have to pay the fee. The entrance fee will allow unlimited rides and is considerably cheaper than the £32 currently charged.

It will however prove controversial as many visitors, such as pensioners taking their grandchildren, do not have to pay. Earlier this year Pleasure Beach announced their intention to introduce admission fees for the 2009 season. Under the scheme a £5 charge would allow access to just a handful of the least popular rides.

This "Entrance Fee" is it a Good / Bad Idea? We want to know what you think so why not discuss your views with other members here
