Plans have been unveiled for a new bingo club and health gym to open in Blackpool. The new attractions form part of a wider project to upgrade a leisure park including Blackpool’s former Odeon cinema, which closed in June this year.

Austringer Capital Ltd, which owns the site on Rigby Road, has updated its planning application to incorporate other developments including the new Starbucks drive-thru which is being built.

Planning permission is already being sought to convert the former cinema into a self-storage facility with food and drinks outlets at the front of the building.

Work to strip out the interior of the 10-screen former multiplex has now been carried out. Updated documents submitted to Blackpool Council set out proposed changes to the layout of the leisure park –⁠ due to be renamed Bloomfield Central –⁠ which also includes Club 3000 Bingo and Bannatyne’s Gym and Spa.
