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.
The issue of street lighting was raised by Councillor Danny Brookes, who raised the issue at a full council meeting, where he stated that he was "astounded" by a lack of attention on the matter in South East Lincolnshire Councils Partnership's new community safety plan.
Coun Brookes, who represents Skegness Winthorpe for Skegness Urban District Society, said that the lights not staying on throughout the night would not help the existing fear of crime. The community safety strategy is part of work that covers anti-social behaviour, hate crime, safer streets, the night-time economy and the safety of women and girls reports Leicestershire Live.
