Island entrepreneur Trevor Hemmings is reportedly selling Blackpool Tower.
The local council is in negotiations to buy the landmark and the winter gardens for a significantly lower cost than Mr Hemmings paid for it.
The property owner bought it for ?76 million but Andy Mitchell, news editor at Radio Wave in Blackpool, says a figure of ?40 million is now being discussed.
