To create it's award winning "Festival Headland", over £100 million of funding was secured and Blackpool seafront was regenerated over a seven year period; with it receiving national recognition for civil engineering excellence. The development used leading scientific techniques to generate the optimum design in sea defence to help combat climate change, whilst at the same time boosting Blackpool's tourism economy.
** [On a personal note, I have to say that it certainly seems to be money well spent too. It definitely is a wonderful sight to see nowadays.]
