Specsavers in Skegness remains open for essential care

Along with other businesses, Specsavers in Lumley Road temporarily closed its doors for routine sight and hearing tests.

Since then it has been helping fellow key workers stay on the frontline.

Philip Drake, of Specsavers, said: "To recognise their sacrifice at this time, we are prioritising their needs.

"If you have any changes to your vision or hearing, or have a problem with your glasses, contact lenses or hearing aids, please give us a call.

"We will help you over the phone, and only ask you to come down to the store if it absolutely necessary.

"We are following Government guidelines in order to keep our customers and colleagues safe.

"At this time of great pressure on our NHS, both locally and nationally, we want to reduce that pressure by continuing to use our professional expertise across eye and hearing services to provide essential care.

"We are committed to the community here in Skegness, and look forward to the time when our town centre returns to normal and our community comes back together, stronger than ever."
