Police are appealing for witnesses after a man was assaulted during a ‘road rage’ incident in Blackpool. Around 4.45pm on Friday 26th August, a silver VW Golf had stopped at the traffic lights on Poulton Road when a Red Ford Orion stopped a few cars behind. The driver and passenger of the Orion, both men, got out of their vehicle and walked up to the Golf before punching the male driver, a 31-year-old Lancaster man, through the open driver’s window. The man suffered two black eyes and a possible broken nose. “This was a nasty incident, possibly provoked by an incident on the road a short time earlier, and I would urge anybody who witnessed what happened to contact police," urged PC Iain Norton. “It would have been a busy time of day and I’m sure somebody would have seen something so please do get in touch.â€* • Anybody with any information is asked to contact police on 08451 25 35 45 or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

SUNDAY'S TORY brunch hosted by Paul Maynard MP started out calm but ended up in a political ding-dong between the MP and Cllr Paul Galley.

BLACKPOOL COUNCIL have put up a contract for a £6.5m refurbishment of Talbot Road bus station and car park. Do we need this car park or should we be knocking it down instead?

WITH SEVEN town hall executive jobs set to be slashed by Labour leader Simon Blackburn, will he extend the same level of cuts through the whole council or rest on his ideological laurels?

DAVID HASSELHOFF was featured at the Pleasure Beach at an opening event for Nickelodeon Land today, but given that half of the money for Nickelodeon Land came from Blackpool taxpayers, who paid his (reported) £50,000 appearance fee?
