'It's not their money to give away!' - Social media reaction to Labour's election pledge to give Blackpool residents free entry to attractions

Tony Williams, leader of the Conservative group in the town, has warned that the promise was “potentially contravening election regulations” and questioned how it could be funded.

He said people would rather money was spent on essential services “than a free go on a ghost train”, and many of you agree.

Here are just some of your comments:
