The east coast resorts and its beaches are popular with motorhome owning visitors but sadly overnight parking for short stays is sadly lacking. I know there are campsites but I do not need or want to use all their facilities. I like to tour, staying one night or two, visiting towns, villages and sites. I […]

Pedestrianised are between the banks back to Aligitha Road which would become an outdoor eating area with fixed and quality mobile outlets. Barrier off access to Lumley Av from Prince George street. This would create a plaza effect ideal for cafe lifestyle with mixed eating and drinking outlets. The currently characterful building are the only […]

make chip alley undercover shopping area , this would enable people to browse and dine in a relaxed area , it would be something everyone could use all year round is this not what the local and district councils want , and yes i know it would be a major investment but well worth it

Boat marina so boats can get in and out more easily and it would bring more people into the area

Would be nice for a portion of the money to be spent on the community, winter ideas for the young, for single parents and and the elderly. A few youth clubs/associations where the young can hang out on a dark evening being safe and warm rather than on street corners. Places where they maybe able […]

Awareness campaign as nobody south knows where the hell it is… 9 out of 10 southerners think Skegness is in Scotland! But council has to clean act up and investment needs to be attracted to area as it’s in the 1980s in terms of standards. I would offer to help but too busy marketing for […]

There are so many things that the town could do to not only boost tourism but also improve how the town and coastal region functions during the summer season. Skegness needs a proper pier. What we have is more of a stump than an actual pier compared to other seaside resorts. A proper Pier is […]

To have the wishing well put back into Skegness. I and lots of others miss and need it. Thank you.

skegness needs an ice or roller rink, multi-storey car park, lumley road pedestrianising and a bigger better swimming pool fit for families. these create jobs, help with congestion/lack of parking, along with an alternative to arcades and provide more options for year-round activities not just seasonal.

As This part of the coast shelves gradually rather than give the depth needed for a harbour, a floating harbour could be constructed accessible from the beach to encourage boats mooring and provide sea trips.

As found in several town and city centres now, a piece of ground people – and especially children – can walk on that has an array of programmable fountains, lights and music that can be anything from a simple and cooling forest of fountains to a spectacular display – and is especially liked by children […]

Pedestrianisation & modernisation of Lumley Road. Encouraging brand names back into the town. Also to create kiosks and vending spaces in the pedestrianised area.

It could operate similar to a dayrider service between local seaside towns: Hunstanton – Skegness – Ingoldmells – Chapel St.Leonards – Mablethorpe etc. With on board cafe, lounge and open deck areas. It would bring in money, be a popular tourism point and maybe even ease congestion on the roads. Build facilities in each participating […]

Enhance the coastal path for disabled, bikes and pushchairs to encourage more healthy exercise between Skegness and Mablethorpe. Combine the funds with EA and the Coastal path funds, to make a suitable sea trail along our coastline. Encouraging more cyclists and walkers to visit and stay over. This will incorporate enhanced flood defences to protect […]

a larger outdoor pool to hold larger numbers of visitors. Also a disabled access up the side of the pier without having to go through the amusements.

A park and ride scheme to cut down on congestion on roads going into and around the town, people who need the shops need parking and while there is a lack of affordable parking people fill up the shop carparks . Also in peak season anyone living near to the town struggle to use the […]

I don’t think 50m will be enough. Skegness is stuck in the past and needs to become more upmarket. The shops have to be able to attract more people, a wider range of people. There are too many arcades, the town has to get into the 21st century. It will go downhill as long as […]

Skegness on the whole is very wheelchair accessible. However when you reach the beach it’s a no go area. I would like to see a solid non-slip walkway built from the promanade right across the sand and into the sea. It would be so great if disabled people and wheelchair users in particular had access […]

Padel tennis is extremely popular in Europe, courts are small, can be all weather and provide a fun game for 4 players. It is a more accessible and faster game than traditional tennis and highly addictive!

All council run car parks to give free parking after 3pm daily. This will encourage shoppers in to town, and also encourage evening dining/events carry on with free parking. Wouldn’t get abused by all day workers and holiday makers staying for the day as they would still have to pay for the day to park […]

Skegness desperately needs its own fe college that is governed by local people. For to long it has been afterthought by the local colleges Grimsby and Boston. We need a college that is managed and run by local people not people from outside the town. A new building with the same old stuff in won’t […]

Paramedics can’t see house numbers. Half the town works in tourism until the small hours and can’t afford cars, so men and women alike are forced to walk home in the pitch-black in a place full of spice heads and drunks.

Re-locate the coach park to north parade, this is an under-utilised area, dropping off visitors directly on the seafront would help the businesses at north parade and encourage visitors to explore the whole seafront.

The old beach chalets and toilet block behind the premier inn are a perfect project for this funding. They could quickly be converted into small units. These would be ideal for aspiring artists, crafters etc. It would provide opportunities for local residents to sell their crafts. I would suggest no more food kiosks. Make this […]

South parade is one of the most neglected areas in the town, the former kiddies corner site and former bowling greens are in dire need of regeneration. This area is opposite guest houses and is a sad site to see. In the foreshore plan it was suggested this area becomes more of an entertainment/event space, […]

Bring back into use the college building on Briar Way, there’s lots of provision already in town but having a central hub and building in the centre of town would be perfect. With the extra footfall into the town centre it would also help revitalise the struggling town centre. This project would help both the […]

I think this would be a brilliant idea to have a venue for the local bag heads to round up in fully stocked with all the paraphernalia they require, this would help prevent them from littering our sea front and seating areas, and save our sore eyes too.

Extend the free parking bays as far as you can heading towards Scarborough Ave roundabout. Increase free parking to 1hr. 30 mins is not enough if you just want to go into town to pick something up. There is never enough spaces at peak times and I think the town loses out to the retail […]

Is there any way of using some funding to reduce the rates for small businesses in the town centre? Most end up with rates that are ridiculously high, forcing them out, only to be replaced with more charity shops, hairdressers and nail bars. Also, more bins, more regularly emptied. The amount of rubbish on the […]

Skegness needs to be brought up to date, a place where high street shops want to open to increase retail tourism as well as those who visit in the season for the beach. Although a classic seaside resort with lots of arcades there is not enough variety. Use the money to lower business rates in […]

The town is very basic and stuck in an age. We are so used to the arcades and charity shops, the whole town needs a rebrand. People in there teens to thirties do not have much to do, there’s no prospects in this town. There’s a lot that needs changing but the only thing that […]

Transport links to Skegness are poor, despite it being a major tourist destination. Better travel links are required to help Skegness continue to grow. The town currently has just one railway link, the line to Nottingham. It would be of benefit to build links to the south, primarily London, to increase travel to the town.

Skegness attracts thousands of people every year, and with that the traffic at times can become standstill. There needs to be better transport links into the area to encourage people into our town, something like a free park and ride out of town would not only encourage people to park up and get the bus […]

We need cash relief for new businesses to come to the area or get a foothold in the town. The kind that will attract people to the town the whole year round.

Skegness isn’t just a holiday town. Locals need to be considered too. It’s ok having ‘tat’ shops for holiday makers but other shops take advantage and stock higher end products. Decent shops for the local people in mind please. We don’t all have ‘disposable’ income to spend on necessities.

This would work alongside the recycling centre and offer a huge range of preloved and recycled goods. Local people could be involved in up cycling and selling preloved products. This has been proven a great success in Scandinavia. The future is in the past.

Lumley Road is the perfect hub for businesses, however the existing ones aren’t stimulating enough. Costa is a really good start – however many people say that there are too many charity shops. Skegness could be a great economic hub if more popular shops came into town such as Primark, Dominos. Too many useless businesses.

Shopping Mall for restaurants/clothing companies. Will create jobs for local area. Also the roads are terrible! Need ripping up and relaying. Especially on Roman bank and around St Matthews church. I like the idea of a park and ride scheme into town/beech in the summer time. Would save the roads being clogged up as much […]

Build a multi-storey carpark on the Post Sorting Office site and ask them to move to the industrial estate. This would increase footfall through the run down top end of Lumley road and naturally regenerate that area. It would also provide adequate parking for commuters wishing to use the train to Boston and beyond.
