Boundaries[edit]

What does "Parts of the borough are also close to or overspill into the neighbouring districts of ..." mean? A borough has boundaries, so inevitably parts of it will be very close to ... every adjacent local authority area in turn, as you go round the boundary. I don't imagine that any point on the map is in both the Borough of Blackpool and another district, so "overspill" seems odd/wrong. If there are identifiable settlements which are partly in this borough and partly not, then that's a different matter and can be stated clearly. PamD 16:38, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not far fetched PamD as Blackpool has an urban area and most of the borough overspills into neighbouring boroughs of Wyre and Fylde...if you take for example Bispam and Thornton-Cleveleys...there is no real strip of land that acts a green belt between them and Lytham St Anne's is only sperate form Blackpool conurbation by Blackpool Airport. The urban area is used for ONS data and is a well defined area...overspill could be from the borough being contiguous with another village or town to a housing estate in both boroughs...I will look for further clarity to the point but normally that's what defines overspill RailwayJG (talk) 18:04, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
