BLACKPOOL Council is warning hoteliers about a bogus health and safety official.
Blackpool Borough Council chiefs say the culprit has written a letter demanding access to premises and threatening the withdrawal of licences.
The note uses an out-dated department name -- the Tourism and Development Service -- and informs the hotelier of a planned future visit.
The council says all of its officers have authorised identification displaying a photograph.
