Residents have the chance to find out more about the ambitious Skegness Gateway Project at an event organised by the local Conservatives.

The large-scale project aims to provide housing and retail developments, a college and a crematorium with memorial gardens on land to the north and south of Wainfleet Road, Skegness. The plans also include flood risk mitigation and new wildlife habitat.

Two representatives of the project, Project Director Stuart Robinson and Robert Doughty, principal of the Robert Doughty Consultancy, will make a presentation of the scheme at a Skegness Conservative Supper Club next month.

Mr Doughty said: "The Skegness Gateway is an ambitious project that aims to create an exciting future for the town, its people and those looking to move here.

"We want the local community to understand our vision and to be fully informed about what is happening as we work through the various planning stages.

"We will be here at this special event to answer any questions that people may have, as well as share our passion about a project that aims to put Skegness on the map with high quality jobs, homes and commercial opportunities.”

The event – to be held at the North Shore Hotel, Skegness, on Thursday, October 19, at 7.30pm for 8pm – will include a two-course supper.

To book places, at £22.50 per head, please call Coun Julie Sadler on 07802678585, or email [email protected]

All are welcome.
