00:00 Town Deal investment projects worth £80 million have been showcased at an event in Skegness today.

00:07 Members of the public have met project leads and board members to find out more.

00:11 Are you excited to be able to share the vision with people today?

00:16 It's great to have the opportunity to talk to the public about what is happening.

00:20 Nearly £80 million being invested in Skegness, something we would never have thought possible three years ago.

00:26 The projects are coming to fruition now and 2024 is going to be a really exciting year.

00:31 With the college starting in January, railway work has already started,

00:35 tower gardens are commencing during the winter.

00:38 So I think it's a great time for Skegness.

00:40 And the High Street as well, work has started on the shopfronts, hasn't it?

00:44 Yes, we've got seven who have already got planning permission, Alison's has already started.

00:48 We're calling that one shopfront, it's the equivalent of four really.

00:51 And with that starting there and the railway station starting work, it's a great shop window for the town.

00:58 Are you excited about the changes happening in Skegness?

01:02 I think from what I've seen, it all looks amazing.

01:05 I think as long as we address it and it gets done, it's not one of these that gets stopped halfway through.

01:12 I'd be really pleased to see what happens in Skegness.

01:16 Now I understand you've only just moved here, had you any idea this was happening when you moved here?

01:21 I did look into it, I wanted to check that where we were buying was not going to impact too much, which it hasn't.

01:27 And it looks like it's going to regenerate the area, so I'm delighted with that really.
