Seven years after a huge fire destroyed part

of the Skegness seafront, work has started to build a multi`million

Tourism bosses say the new attraction, which will include an

ice rink, will bring extra visitors to the east coast and help ht

The old grand parade site h`s been described as an eyesore and

after long delays, there is relief work has finally started.

Our business correspondent Sarah Corker has spent the day

drilling the foundations for a new attraction on the Lincolnshire

coast. After years of delays, the empty space on the promenade is now

empty space on the promenadd is now being developed.

We will have family show bars, I cabaret bar, a spectacular hce bar,

cabaret bar, a spectacular ice bar, something that is only seen in

London. And a clinical glorx something that is only seen in

London. And a clinical glory will be London. And a clinical glorx will be

the ice rink. Local people and holiday makers have been screaming

for this for a long time. Seven years ago flames swept along

the grand Parade, destroying the amusement arcade. Three years later

the site was approved for development, by 2013 nothing had

happened in the planning permission expired. And was later extended and

expired. And was later extended, and today construction finally started.

Once finished, it will overlook the resort's long sandy beach. For

businesses, it can't come soon enough.

The more we can get on the seafront, the better for Skdgness,

seafront, the better for Skegness, to get it up and running to what it

used to be. People have been complaining and it

looks terrible, but at least things are moving forward.

The new attractions for the tone, and hopefully that can be a positive

thing. This is the vision, the ?10 million

4`storey Skype year. Around 4 million tourists come to Skdgness

each year. There is relief that work has finally started at this site, a

project designed to help thd resort project designed to help the resort

compete with cheap package holidays. Marketed as the ctltural

coast, it is proving popular with investors. Water park at outlines

opened last year, and there are plans for a new aquarium at this

seafront site. The tone's M`yor says seafront site. The tone's M`yor says

there is a real feeling of optimism.

Skegness is open for business. There is a lot of money coming in to

Skegness at the moment. It hs very vibrant as you can see, but give

people and that is for the future. Its newest attraction could be open

by next spring, and it is hoped it will strengthen the resort's appeal

and bring new visitors to the east coast.

Earlier I spoke to Chris Baron who's the Resort Director

at Butlins just along the coast in Ingoldmells and asked him

whether investors now had more confidence in coming to Skegness.

It has been a superb year for us. We have just had the announcement of

investment into the roundabout structure to give us the business

park. We have had Premier Inns wanting to come in, Butlins have

invested, we have a new development invested, we have a new development

on the parade, and it shows how much confidence there is in seashde

resorts. What message does that send about

Skegness specifically? It shows how successful we have been

over the last five years and how much confidence the business

community has in Skegness. We can see when we look around how much

confidence holiday`makers have. How sure are you that this will

complete and not stall halfway through?

I'm very confident. When yot start paying for that sort of work coming

in new omitting a big investment. It has been disappointing how long it

has taken to happen, but it is great it is happening now. It is great

that the government is now recognise how important coastal communities

are. George Osborne and Davhd Cameron straight down to help with

the fire recently, it is disappointing that didn't h`ppen

five years ago. Apart from the weather, what is the

one thing that Skegness needs? It just needs to carry on exactly as

it is. It wants to invest in the future. Our customers want to see us

get bigger and better. We now have the confidence, and this will set

the ball rolling. Is this the boost Skegness needs, or

is there more to be done to help the Lincolnshire's tourist economy

wasn't alone in receiving a boost today ` almost ?1.8 million is

being given to three sites in East Hull's Fruit Market, the

Yorkshire Wildlife Trust at Spurn Point and the RSPB's Bempton Cliffs

Market where a music festival takes Tolu, how's the announcement been

received by businesses therd? Everyone here is extremely dxcited

that funding is coming to this part of Hull. The music festival will

take place here tomorrow and it is the kind of event that has recently

brought this area back to lhfe. the kind of event that has recently

brought this area back to life. This brought this area back to lhfe. This

was once a buzzing market with was once a buzzing market with

traders selling fruit and veg. In recent times it has been revived

with galleries opened up and museums. It is hoped this money will

make a huge difference. I have been taking a look at three placds that

was revealed the City Council has was revealed the City Counchl has

secured ?800,000 in government secured ?800,000 in governmdnt

It will be to turn spaces into flexible spaces that can be used as

thriving cafe. Issues peopld have turned this building into a

thriving cafe. Issues people have thriving cafe. Issues people have

faith in the cafe, and therd is thriving cafe. Issues peopld have

faith in the cafe, and there is a cultural blueprint for what could

happen in this area. With goodwill and some money it has got the

potential to be a fantastic part of Hull. Ten projects will benefit from

the government's coastal colmunities fund. The aim is to create jobs and

boosterism. This nature reserve in boosterism. This nature resdrve in

East Yorkshire is another place that is getting funding.

It will help transform the visitor experience. We will be able to

double the size of the car park. We will be able to improve the

facilities in the visitor centre for facilities in the visitor cdntre for

retail and catering. Much of the money will go towards

improving access. Roy Taylor recently did a coast`to`coast

the money will be spent invdsting in transport.

That vehicle will allow was to get down to the point and help ts

glory. Part of the project is making glory. Part of the project is making

that into a visitors centre. In total, ?1.8 million is heading to
