If Blackpool was a stick of rock, Little Layton would be a ribbon of pink in the middle. To its left, the deep red of rundown bedsits near the promenade. To its right, the plush green streets of Poulton Le Fylde, where 1m mansions overlook a well-tended golf club. That is to say, Little Layton is one of the nicer parts of Blackpool.

Eyewitnesses reported that the owner of the car was then knocked down while trying to stop the vehicle from taking off down the road, which contains a steep hill on the Blackpool end.

Charlton Athletic have made their first signing since winning promotion to the Championship by bringing in Blackpool midfielder Sonny Carey on a free transfer.
