You might have seen the East Lindsey District Council Pride in Skegness team busy working on Grosvenor Road. They've been doing some tidying up, such as removing weeds and clearing the road gulleys too.

We know that a cleaner, attractive, welcoming town is something that really matters to local people so that's why we're so pleased to be supporting the Pride in Skegness team who we think are doing a great job across the town.

And, did you know, if you see areas of the town you think they should be looking at, you can let the team known by getting in touch [email protected]

Here are some before and after 📸 of their work
