The three remaining towers and the maisonette blocks will be demolished to enable construction of 99 new homes to complete the project by spring 2018.
The project’s earlier phase had involved the dismantling of Ashworth Court and Charles Court and the construction of 92 new homes.
Demolition is already under way of the maisonettes and will be followed by the explosive demolition of the three remaining tower blocks in early summer this year.
Cllr Gillian Campbell, deputy leader of Blackpool Council, said: “The first phase of the Queens Park redevelopment has dramatically changed the area but the old buildings are still an eyesore and are standing in the way of a completely transformed estate. The tower blocks have been a familiar sight on Blackpool skyline for so many years that it will feel very strange once they have gone.”
Lovell has appointed specialist contractor Forshaw Demolition to carry out the demolition programme.
