Voters are also reminded to take along photographic ID to the polling station.

SKEGNESS AREACONSERVATIVES

“Voting for your local Conservative candidates at Skegness Town Council and East Lindsey District Council elections will ensure you receive strong representation.

“Your voices and concerns will be heard - something that has been sadly lacking at Town Council level over the past four years.

“Conservatives are very much aware of your major concerns and promise to work hard to improve the situations that affect us all. We will provide strong financial leadership and strive to provide good local services whilst keeping council tax as low as possible.”

BOSTON AND SKEGNESSLABOUR PARTY

“We are so pleased to have brilliant hard working Labour Candidates standing in the Local ELDC District Boston Borough Skegness Town and Parish elections.

“The reception that our candidates have had is immense from the public.

"We feel the public desperately want change by us speaking to them and them contacting us.

“So if you want real change vote Labour so that that change that we all want can happen.”

SKEGNESS URBAN DISTRICT SOCIETY (SUDS)

“Four years ago no-one thought we could shake up local politics.

"We said: “Yes, we can.” And yes, we did.

“Four years on and in that time Skegness has received more extra funding in that short time than in the previous two decades.

“SUDS field the most candidates with 21 town council candidates.

“We continue to campaign for better roads, full night street lighting, money made on the coast staying on the coast, and devolved powers as well as devolved cash earning assets.

"We are asking you once again to believe in our ability to bring change.”
