Some folk seem to wonder why Skeggy doesn't have more year around visitors and have looked at Blackpool. To compare its just easier to say what Blackpoool has, mostly verything that Skeggy doesn't!

Travellers move on?
Here we go again Travellers set up camp somewhere illegally but bizarly it takes days to evict them legally.
Skegness Car Park - I hope they all got their tickets from the machines properly and were parked in the correct bays? Ha Ha!! Bet not. Will they get fined? Of course not.
Why do some laws apply to some people (residents who pay Council Tax) but not others?
If they want to camp - there are loads of sites along the coast. East Lincolnshire is the Caravan Capital. Bet they don't want to pay either its their Human Right?
Victory for Villagers! Good on you, except they're breaking the law!

Skegness Most Deprived seaside town
So Skegness is the most deprived seaside town, so says the ONS.
I agree with Cllr Byford, there is no Industry in East Lindsey. The biggest developers (by far by money spent) are the Windfarms but where are the jobs?
They bring in contractors to build and maintain them. All, we get (the residents) is the pain and no gain.
People of the UK rise up against these unfair taxes. 15%on your bills to help these conglomerates rake in the millions by building useless windfarms

Asserby Wind Farm? Lose £100k off your house value!
Hooray! Another nail in the Coffin of WindFarms. Wind Farms lower house prices!!
WEll maybe this will make the good folks around Asserby wake up! If they are to lose £100k off the value of their house - while the WindFarm makes the Generators rake millions in! Also at last George os Borne "Conspiracy" - says he'll cut the subsidies - OUR MONEY.
The industry was recently dealt a blow by Chancellor George Osborne, who demanded huge cuts in government aid for wind farms.
The Chancellor told the Treasury to draw up plans for a reduction of 25 per cent in subsidies for onshore wind farms.
Next lets have NO VAT on Energy for Domestic use and cut the GREEN TAX.
Also what about the loss of 100 jobs in Skegness? Offically the most deprived seaside town?
A sweet factory is to close with the loss of all jobs - they can move to Leiceter or Czchekoslovakia - nice.
Will they find 100 jobs in skeggy?
Perhaps if they want to work in an arcade for the summer or a hotel cleaning rooms.
WHat about some of this windFarm money coming to Skeg? There are hundreds off the coast and hundreds morte to be built and dozens planned for the Land.
Who gets the Millions from them - NOT SKEGGY!
RWE will get £36billion over 25 years for their off-shore farm - why can't 10% go to Skeg and ELDC for using our land?

Lioncolnshire closing Libraries
So Lincolnshire is to close many Libraries to save money. People cry "No!"
But really who uses the Libraries any more? They are very poor have you been to one lately?
Sutton on -sea or Mablethorpe - where are all the books.
Mostly you have to order books that don't even come to Sutton - you have to go to Skegness to get them.
Then the "Consultation" they had it in Louth - when most resident s are in Sutton/Trusthorpe etc.
How do you get to Louth for a consultation? No Late buses or use your car 30mile round trip, 1 hour travelling. They said it was to accommodate the numbers. What about the Dunes or the Church halls they can get 60/70 in.
County Council not really trying as usual - a done deed I say. As usual Ignore the coastal communities, Lincoln's alright!
Anyway I agree. Close the Library - its not open when I can get as I work all week.
What I want is on-line if I want. Download from Amazon to my kindle etc.
Why can't the Libraries be a "Download service"? Books subsidised on a 1 month expiry time - they self destrct after 1 month - it can be done.

1953 Floods on Lincolnshire Coast
So today is the 60th anniversary of the disastrous floods on the Lincolnshire and the whole East Coast of England - January 31st 1953.
Let us remember the ones who died - 42 in Lincolnshire, I think over 1300 in Holland and Belgium, over 300 in England in total. Regardless of Global Warming lets remember the awful power of nature.
Unfortunately this area of Lincolnshire is now one of the most deprived in Europe. It has a demographic population of over 55s much greater than average and also because of low incomes there are a greater number in fuel poverty.
It seems the Government and council are unwilling to help because of the "Flood Risk". I can see that they don't want to put more people at risk but there are alternative arguments.
What should we do - just evacuate all the people and turn it into a no-mans land?
It seems there are Wind Farm builders Queuing up to build their Wind Turbines - I know they can be built in the sea, there are hundreds off shore at the moment, but do they really want to put them on land that will flood? Or should we let them - the price being to beef up the sea defences for the Locals?
Its a choice to be made.
Alternatively with land so cheap etc. why can't other industries be attracted? After all we've seen in the last couple of years there are parts of the inland country that are prone to floods where it was previously unheard of. Weigh that one up - Environment Agency.
