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.

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. Marie And I will be joining you in your complaint.

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.

David you state "men are in the same building participating (or waiting to participate) in sexual acts" It is a lap dancing club that they are proposing to have not a brothel. Have you ever been in one? If not then I do wonder what you think goes on in these clubs. It is a performance of DANCE whilst the lady is NUDE. How is that a sexual act? I wish the Bolas all the best with their venture!! How small minded are some of you people.

Obviously I'm not suggesting full sex is going to occur in the gentleman's club, but your comment came across as the other extreme that there's nothing sexual in lap dancing at all. The issue regarding drinking in the building is quite straight forward. The Skypier will be filled with night club like bars that are not what I'd call family friendly pubs (would you consider them family friendly?). I don't think anyone reasonable in Skegness has an issue with a pub that's got an area for families, they attract families not binge drinkers. Would be great if more Skegness pubs were family orientated. Young people flock to Skeggy in summer to get pissed out their heads and pull. I admit that's why I visited Skegness when I was a young man, and that results in trouble (fighting for example). If the bars within the Skypier are successful (and I expect they will be) and they are open relatively early in the evening (7pm for example) and the family facilities are open up until 11pm (Taj Bola on a Skegness forum has suggested they might be open that late) there's a period of time where there's the POTENTIAL for a significant number of young drunk binge drinkers entering/exiting the Skypier while children and families are using the ice rink etc... IMO this is asking for trouble, there's the potential for bottlenecks in the lift and entrance/exit etc... we should try to keep families and children away from binge drinkers, not have them stuck in a lift together! It's not rocket science, young men get drunk, young men get in fights. I lost count the number of fights I got into when I was young when I was out clubbing. Last thing on my mind while I was breaking someones nose because they looked at me funny was are there any families in the doorway that might get hurt! Use some common sense. It's not a good idea to have families using the facilities at the same time as binge drinking adults. I have no issue with them being in the same building, it's using them at the same time I have the issue with. Having separate entrances/exits would to some degree reduce the chances of trouble occurring in amongst families. Based on the current plans, one entrance/exit with one lift, the safest solution is close the family facilities before the adult facilities open (or at least before they get rowdy).
