If you were Prime Minister for the day, what one thing would you do to improve life in Blackpool?
That was the question we put to our readers, and the responses ranged from the practical to the ambitious, with plenty of passion for the town.
From calls to fix potholes and clean up residential areas, to bigger ideas like reopening Blackpool Airport and building a landmark arena, many residents said they want to see more investment and improvements that benefit both locals and visitors.
Others focused on the everyday, suggesting measures such as free parking, lower shop rents and better use of existing spaces to bring life back into the town centre.
There were also more light-hearted suggestions, including free Greggs sausage rolls for everyone in the FY postcode.
While the ideas vary, a common theme runs through them - a desire to see Blackpool thrive as both a place to live and a destination to visit.
