As a resident and town councillor of Skegness, I have always taken pride in the beauty and cleanliness of our town. Our visitor economy thrives on this aesthetic appeal, and it is a source of joy for us locals as well. However, the recent decision by the Skegness urban district society led Skegness Town Council to stop cutting grass verges within the town has left many of us deeply concerned. This action not only tarnishes the image of our beloved town but also leads to job losses among local people who are already grappling with high living costs.

For six years, these grass-cutting services have been an integral part of maintaining our town's charm. The decision to remove this service seems like a misguided attempt at cost-saving that overlooks its long-term impact on both the townsfolk and our economy.

We urge SUDS councillors to reconsider their stance on this matter and put Skegness first. The small savings achieved each week do not justify the damage caused by such an exceptionally poor decision.

Let's stand together for a cleaner, greener Skegness that we can all be proud of. Sign this petition today and let's urge Skegness Town Council to continue with its grass-cutting services!
