It could be nearly two months until it is repaired
Damage to the Skegness Clock Tower may not be repaired for nearly two months despite potentially posing a risk to drivers. The landmark is typically the first sight for tourists driving into the town centre but is in need of some TLC.
In recent weeks, officers have collected a sample of the wall and traced the original brickwork manufacturer, who is producing a "like-for-like" copy to ensure the new sections blend seamlessly with the existing structure. Repairs are expected to start after the school summer holidays. "We’re not sure how the damage occurred, but the broken sections need to be fixed because they could pose a risk for drivers if they fall onto the road. Although we don’t have a specific date set for the works yet, they’ll most likely be carried between mid-September and early October, but definitely before this year’s Remembrance Day parade."
