SAND-BLASTED homeowners have called on the council to cut back dunes which are making their lives a misery.

As 90mph winds battered the Fylde coast during a series of wild storms last month, sand has blown from the dunes on Clifton Drive North into homes on Summerfields, St Annes.

Just so we're completely clear where these houses are located, it's here:

Haha, I grew up about 500ft inland from there. Sand everywhere, all the time. Not the biggest problem though - that was the pandering to the whim of rich old people who moved there to retire. Anything interesting or resembling a public service was sold off and converted it into retirement apartments. I'm only surprised they haven't got rid of the beach.

My Uncle and Aunt had a property on that exact street. They too got fed up with all the sand. So they did the sensible thing and found somewhere else to live.

“It’s a force of nature which can’t be stopped and sand dunes can’t just be moved without environmental assessment.”

The same sort of mentality as those who buy a house in Hounslow then complain about the planes going in and out of Heathrow rolleyes

Sometimes your choice is Hobson's. Tip - You don't like something about an area? Well don't fecking move there then .... wink
