There are concerns over a lack of street lights
Concerns have been raised over the lack of street lighting in Skegness, with lights not staying on throughout the night. Councillors have raised the issue of the lack of street lighting and how it could worry holidaymakers and cause them to feel unsafe.
"I believe that nobody’s going to be feeling safe in that area. You feel safe until you get to half past 11 when you’ve got to start running to make sure you’re home before the lights go out. He said: "For years now we’ve seen money draining away from the police, from the local authorities, from everywhere that could be contributing and making our streets safer — and a case in point is that the money is gone from the county council and they felt that they had to switch off the lights for certain periods of time."
"We put the pressure as much as we can on them on the county council and we have regular meetings with them." He added that some concerns were not "worth responding to quite honestly."

Why guests aree going nuts for the huts at this gorgeous glamping site in YorkshireDiversification has played its part in keeping many farms and rural estates viable and holiday lets have been the most popular choice for boosting income. It began many moons ago with bed and breakfast and has broadened to bring us timber lodges, tiny “hobbit” pods, bell tents and, more recently, shepherd’s huts. Matthew and Emma Lindfield, who run Waingates Farm, part of the family’s 1,000 acre Roecliffe Estate, were among the first to embrace the idea of shepherd’s huts. “I read about one that had been made into accommodation and thought it was great. That was 2016 when glamping sites were rare in the North of England,” says Matthew. It was then that the idea for Waingates Farm Huts was born and he and Emma knew they had the perfect place for the venture. “We are mainly an arable farm with some grazing but we had a field that wasn’t suitable for growing wheat,” says Emma.
