Hawes Side is a residential suburb on the eastern edge of Blackpool in Lancashire, formed largely by interwar and post‑war housing with a mix of terraces, semis and pockets of council homes. It sits close to green spaces and wetlands to the east, including areas associated with Marton and the nearby nature spots around Marton Mere, and is served by local shopping parades and regular bus links into the town centre.
The ward has a socially mixed population and a strong neighbourhood feel, with active community groups, primary schools and small local businesses anchoring daily life. Historically it grew as part of Blackpool’s suburban expansion rather than as a seaside resort itself, and in recent years local regeneration and housing improvements have been a focus to boost employment and public services.
