A BLACKPOOL entrepreneur has splashed out £3m to develop a rundown industrial estate.
Peter Leonard bought the Hoo Hill estate in Layton and said he plans to encourage more start-up businesses to the area.
The land originally belonged to the Fieldings brickwork empire but has fallen into disrepair over the past few years and has been blighted by fly-tipping and vandalism.
But a major clean-up operation has now started on the four-acre site with new signage being put up to bring more smaller companies into Hoo Hill.
The site is already home to a number of businesses and former brick kilns which are also part of a multi-million pound makeover and will be used to house new firms.
Mr Leonard, 35, a former Warbreck Hill High pupil, said he has invested everything into making this a successful venture.
He added: "I want to bring Hoo Hill into the 21st Century. This has always been a good industrial estate providing a good base for start-up companies.
"The area has been targeted by fly-tippers in recent years.
"In one night alone somebody dumped 14 fridges on our land which all costs money to shift. We now have CCTV in place and planning permission to build more units and generally clean up the area.
"I have no plans of being the next Whitehills as many start-up firms cannot afford the prices which are charged on such a prime bit of land.
"I want to give local companies a chance to start up their own business in a secure environment."
The estate used to be owned by the Fieldings who made their own bricks in kilns on the site using clay from the other side of Layton railway line. It was also used to build munitions.
So far the clean-up operation has cost around £100,000 and there will be an ongoing development plan for the site.
Mr Leonard added: "We are only using local businesses in developing the site. I could not have done this without a lot of help from local solicitors and accountants.
"This will be a massive challenge for me but it is one I am really looking forward to."
