just down the rod in Blackpool... Heavy rains bring traffic chaos TORRENTIAL rain brought traffic chaos to Blackpool's roads this weekend. Heavy downpours on Saturday morning saw Devonshire Road, Pedders Lane and parts of Bispham closed due to flooding. Diversions were put in place as the roads were covered by more than three feet of water in some places. Some motorists had to be helped to safety after their vehicles stalled in the water. Staff at the Sugar Sugar bar and restaurant on Bispham Road, Cleveleys were also left counting the cost after the downstairs dining area became flooded. A police spokesman said: "We had to close a number of roads when the rain was at its worst but were able to reopen them all within a couple of hours." info on The Fylde Folk Festival Artistes Autographed Guitar Winning Ticket
