Blackpool will be among the areas to benefit after it was announced that Lancashire County Council is to get £121m in extra transport funding, after the government announced how it would allocate a share of the money it saved from scrapping the northern leg of the HS2 high speed rail link to Manchester.
In the resort, residents had plenty of ideas about how the money should be spent.
Here are some of their answers.
1. Chrissie Stevens echoed a popular sentiment when she said: "Bring back Blackpool Airport." The airport is still operating but not taking commercial passenger flights as it used to.
