Issuing an update on how the glass was damaged, a spokesman from Blackpool Council, said: “We were notified in the early hours of Saturday morning that an outer pane of glazing had smashed at Festival House.

“An officer attended the site at 5:30am, ENVECO also attended to clear away loose glass from the ground, and the area was barriered off to ensure the public right of way was safe.

“Later that morning the Council’s Illuminations team attended with high access equipment to remove the remaining broken glass in the window frame. Sadly, we believe it’s been caused by vandalism.

“The window will be replaced in the coming days. The inner pane is still in-tact, so the building remains watertight and safe.”
