Skegness seems to be changing more than I thought, and maybe I will be looking more closely this year at whether it is still right for us to go there, in view of the comments about drunks and druggy needles in the parks.
ive always respected Skegness for its open friendly and putgoing nature, and yes its lost some of its grandeur, the shops signs are faded and the market needs some painting up, the awnings on shops are a bit weather beaten but thats just aging and the economy;-allowances can be made for that. THE PEOPLE are friendly, and restaurant staff try to be helpfull. Its such a shame if this is allowed to drag Skeggy into the mire. True drunks are SPENDING MORE, in bars and on “entertainment” but will this increase the crime rates, and deter family visitors? Will anyone care, because families tend to spend less;-but they dont allow for the ‘pester power’ of kids!

If the gentleman’s club is going to be opening around 10pm, shouldn’t young children be at home getting ready for bed if they are not already in it.
I was born in Skegness and grew up there, there has always been a mixture of sex, alcohol, gambling and fighting, don’t you remember the mods, rockers, hells angels, skinheads all coming to town. It never stopped people visiting with their children.
And by the time kids in Skegness hit 13 they are already knowledgable about what goes on in the town etc. I think a lot of the responsibility should be for the parents to parent their kids, if being close to a gentlemans club is a problem then it’s up to you as parents to keep your kids away. Skegness needs all the help it can get to keep it financially healthy with people willing to spend their money.

And I will be joining you in your complaint.

I wish Taj Bola would have thought this through a little more and listned to peoples concerns, but we all know not to expect buisness men to have morals for the good of a community when there’s money involved or our council for that matter.

A Separate door in the Sky Pier, so kids aren’t exposed to adult behaviour and I would have been happy.

I noticed Skegness Standard doing its usual wishy washy reporting there wasnt one mention of the Gental man club thats going to be a part of the Sky Pier
Neither was there a mention during the council meeting I know for a fact it has been brought to their attention
Disgraceful that we have to have this type of sex bar because the council is imcapable of attracting new family businesses to the town
One millionaire waves his cash and they take it as they can sit back in there expensive desighner furiture and wash there hands of responsibility
skegness needs family values not more sleezy sex clubs and pubs

Could you imagine if this was a pre existing building with a lap dancing club and bars etc… and someone proposed the Girl Guides should meet in the room above the lap dancing club while the lap dancing club was open

========================

He’s right if Flirts wanted to put a Ice skating ring at the top of their building and kids would have to pass incomming trade to the Lap Dancing club there would be an out cry

It was more your wording that I didnt agree with, saying a sexual act would imply that a service of sex was taking place. I understand fully what you mean about having it in the same building as family entertainment. But if it is run properly which I am sure they will ensure it is then it shouldnt cause a problem. With regards to your comment on having the bars open when there are family leisure facilities open have you ever been to the pier bowl? That is a family place but has it’s bar open, and also Fantasy Island has many bars open during the day whilst families are around.

Only in Skeg would they think this was all right!

I though they couldn’t do any more to attract the lowest of the low apparently they can.

Skegs nothing, but a Gambling, Drunks sex pit.

The days of Skegness being a family fun resort is long gone!
