Skegness residents aired their concerns tonight

Skegness residents have accused the government of using the Lincolnshire coastal town as a ‘dumping ground’ in a heated meeting over asylum seekers.

“I ran a hotel in Margate, where this exact same thing has already happened. It died the same death that people are worried about here,” one woman warned.“People are already cancelling vacations to Skegness. What will the council do when all of the businesses go bust?”MP Matt Warman said the government was putting an unfair burden on Skegness | Photo: LDRS/Lincolnite

“The immigration system is creaking at the seams, and the government is using places like Skegness to prop it up,” he said. East Lindsey District Council leader Craig Leyland said he was aware of the risk to Skegness’ tourism industry.

Christmas Markets shoppers fuming after waiting FOUR hours to leave car parkMan phones POLICE as drivers blast their horns during 'four hour wait' to leave city centre car park No sympathy for them. If u drive ur car into the middle of the city centre on a Saturday in the run up to Xmas ur mad. Cars shud be banned from this area anyway so public transport can work better but the council haven't got the balls to do that. Just walk I left work at 7pm from outside the Arndale Saturday 19th. Cycled home to Levenshulme. 20-25 mins, no traffic on a bike. News worthy? 😂
