Hi Kells,

No there is no chance at this stage of anything re-appearing on the site. Currently the structure has been made safe but remains resembling a WW2 bomb site.

As far as I know there are no plans to re-open the Paris Casino either.

Not yet on the basis it has no roof over it.

They are looking to re-build it but are still examining the fire damage which was extensive and which damaged the building infrastructure.

Yes we are fine. Wednesday morning and Lytham Rd is still closed. They have a huge digger/crane machine across the front and have started demolition works.

As far as I know residents are being allowed back this morning.

Seems the only lasting effect is most of in South Shore now have crap signals on our mobile phones as most of the operators phone masts were atop the building.
