Greenlands is an electoral ward in the borough of Blackpool, on the Fylde coast of Lancashire. It is largely suburban and residential, with a mix of Victorian and mid‑20th‑century housing, small local shops, schools and pockets of green space, and benefits from straightforward links into Blackpool town centre and the wider Fylde transport network.
The ward sits within Blackpool’s service‑and‑tourism economy, so many residents work in hospitality, retail and public services, while community life revolves around neighbourhood groups, churches and school activities. Politically it returns councillors to Blackpool Council, and its character reflects the town’s broader social mix of families and older people rather than any single defining landmark.
