Have you heard the great news that the Tour of Britain will be coming to Skegness this September?

Our Chair Paul McCooey said: "It is really fantastic news that Skegness will be hosting the finale of the second stage of the prestigious Tour of Britain race.

"This is a great opportunity to showcase the town to a national audience, shining a light on Skegness as a place to spend time, and it will benefit the local economy too.

"Through our Together for Skegness Pride in Place programme, we are working to invest and make a difference in our town but we know we already have so much to be proud of in Skegness.

"The Tour of Britain will allow us to highlight just what makes the town so special."
