Roadworks affect Skegness route and Gibraltar Point visitor centre

Children and families in Hemswell Cliff now have a newly-refurbished play park to enjoy.

West Lindsey District Council and the Hemswell Resident Company have been working to re-invest part of their service charges to improve the area for all. 

Head Teacher at Hemswell Cliff Primary School Mrs Angie Waplington, confirmed that local children have already been making the most out of the fun, new facilities on offer.

She said: “The children love the new equipment, and the park is well used.”

Families and children are enjoying the new space.

West Lindsey Community Policing Inspector, Gary Brockie, said: “Our local policing team works closely with the council to reduce incidents of ASB and the negative impact this can have on our communities, and we wholeheartedly support the actions being taken to improve facilities for local residents.

“Play areas like this provide young people with positive opportunity to exercise and socialise in safe environments and also provide support for parents.”

We are appealing for witnesses after a woman was assaulted on Albion Street Spalding on Saturday 27 November between 5.30pm and 6.30pm.

Our force control room received a report that a woman in her 20s was assaulted by a man who grabbed her around the neck and forced her to the ground.

We believe the male suspect may have followed the victim over the footbridge from the High Street and onto Albion Street where the incident happened.

Reports suggest that three men came to the rescue of the woman and confronted the man before he left the scene. There are also reports that a passing motorist may have stopped briefly and spoken with these three men.

We are currently pursuing a number of enquiries into this incident but we are particularly keen to identify and speak with these men who appear to have intervened and helped the victim.

It is likely that they have had close contact with the suspect and may have information that will help to identify him.

We would also like to hear from anybody who was in the area of Albion Street or High Street between the hours of 5.30 and 6.30pm on Saturday evening that may be able to assist with this enquiry.

Anybody with any information including dashcam footage, please contact Lincolnshire Police on 101 quoting Inc 351 – 27/11/21.

We appealed today for information to help us find Mark, who was missing from Skegness.

We are pleased to report that Mark has been found and is safe. Thank you for the support for our appeal.
