Clifton is an electoral ward in the borough of Blackpool in north‑west England. It is largely residential, with a mix of Victorian terraces, semi‑detached homes and some post‑war council housing, supported by local shops, schools and community centres that serve a diverse population.
The ward’s character is shaped by the wider seaside economy of Blackpool and the Fylde coast, so many residents work in hospitality, retail and public services; it has also been the focus of local regeneration schemes and active neighbourhood groups. Historically it expanded as Blackpool grew as a Victorian resort, and today combines quiet streets with reasonable access to town amenities and bus links across the borough.
