Excitement grows for new community hub in Skegness

In the council’s first newsletter of 2020, they said the new Tower Gardens Pavilion is in the final stage of completion.

The project has been funded with a £1,460,000 loan to build a community building for the town, which was reported in April of last year.

It replaces the former Tower Pavilion, which stood on the site for 130 years before being demolished.

Already the council is seeking an ‘experenced manager with high standards’ for the centre’s Café Dansant, as it prepares for the move from the Town Hall on North Parade to Tower Gardens.

This follows the asset transfer of the park from East Lindsey District Council.

ELDC continues to manage and maintain the toilets using their contractor.

The newsletter states: “Councillors, officers and other Council employees will be working hard for the Town in 2020 and look forward to the challenges
ahead.

“We have lots of exciting things in the pipeline.”

These include:
• Taking part in National Volunteers Week

• Showing local schools around the Community Building

• Employing people to work in the new Café in Tower Gardens

• Making improvements to green space areas in the Town

• Restoring the Jolly Fisherman paintings and displaying them

• Organising a VE Day Event in Tower Gardens

• Opening of the Community Building and Café

• Taking part in the Towns Fund Board

• Delivering the Neighbourhood Plan for Skegness
