We prefer our customers to loan samples and try them in their own home which helps tremendously to negate mistakes.
We have a 20 page booklet you can download on interior design at our website www.harperandpye.co.uk. We are a member of the Metro Buying Group who with a £60,000,000 collective turnover allows us to purchase and sell carpets keenly.
We do a lot of domestic and contract work like the Grand Theatre Blackpool which we have carpeted twice throughout in 1992 and again in 2007. We give you very competitive prices, first class workmanship and a personal service that this family run business can best provide “we care about our name above the door”. We are very excited about our new shop which we believe gives you an unrivaled choice of quality carpets and curtains. Choosing new furnishings is made easy with help from experienced staff with free advice on colour schemes.
There is easy parking outside the door and believe we offer you the best prices and service you can achieve. We offer the price promise “if told never undersold” and throughout the year we have seasonal sales with even further discounts. “We’ve come home, let us furnish your home”.

Progress for Youth Offending Team Improvements made by Blackpool’s multi agency work to rehabilitate young offenders have been praised by government inspectors.
person. Inspectors commented that the YOT’s work to achieve an improvement in the rate of transfer of young people charged and detained in police custody into local authority accommodation provided “a better service than we had seen anywhere else in England and Wales.”
Cllr Sarah Riding, Cabinet Member for Children’s Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Probation published Services, said: “We put a lot of work into reducing youth crime reoffending rates in the town, steering the report on the Full Joint Inspection of young people away from that type of lifestyle. Blackpool Youth Offending Team (YOT) today. Blackpool is the third youth offending team in England and Wales to be inspected under the latest framework, which works to stricter guidelines. The report praises the “undoubted progress” made by the Youth Offending Team. The service was scored against four core themes. HMI Probation’s scoring approach assigns scores to each of the core themes, in which 65% is required to achieve a “good” rating. The team’s ability to ensure that young people complete their sentence was given a good 73% by the report, while marks were also received for other aspects of the service.
“This report shows that we are moving in the right direction with the youth offending team, but we won’t rest on our laurels and will continue to work on improving further. There are certain improvements that have been recommended and we will work to ensure that we meet those. “Preventing young people from becoming embedded in a life of crime early on is vitally important, as it could severely restrict their chances of a prosperous life. That is just not acceptable, and we will keep working to stop crime from being a lifestyle choice for our young people.”
The multi-agency Youth Offending Team Partnership Management Board, chaired by the Director of Children’s Services, Sue Harrison, The team received scores of 63% for reducing the will oversee the completion of a series of further likelihood of reoffending; 62% for protecting the improvement actions recommended by the report. public and 57% for protecting the child or young Your Local Plumber - No Job Too Small
