Popular Skegness arcade warns of redundancies and closure after £500,000 energy quote

An arcade in the popular seaside town of Skegness has been given a quote of £500,000 for its energy bills for the year. The Lings Oasis Amusement Arcade is located on the Grand Parade among many of the bars, food stalls and arcades.

Lings has already noticed an increase in energy bills but due to the nature of the business, it uses a lot more energy than most average businesses. The director, Johnathon Ling spoke with Lincolnshire Live and said they have been told the bills could reach £500,000 for the year from October 31.

This would be a huge increase from the previous bills of £350,000. Mr Ling is concerned that this could mean redundancies and potential closure.
