Plans to upgrade Belton House's car park have been changed amid concerns about traffic and potential accidents.
The “absolutely dire” state of dentistry in Lincolnshire has led it to becoming a “rich man’s game” according to county councillors.
At a meeting on Wednesday, Boston Councillor Katie Chalmers said: “The closure of dental practices in Boston and Skegness is heartbreaking. “This is a total crisis and totally unacceptable for people not able to access a dentist unless they’ve got hundreds of pounds in their back pocket, which huge swathes of the population don’t.
General manager for Bupa Dental Care Mark Allan previously said:“We fully understand the impact today’s decision has on our patients and our people within these practices. This decision has not been taken lightly and closure is a last resort. The Joint Strategic Needs Assessment said urban and coastal areas showed higher levels of deprivation, which are often associated with poor oral health.
It notes that in “some areas of Lincolnshire it is very difficult to access general dental services” particularly on the East Coast.
