East Lindsey District Councillors have formally granted planning permission for two major schemes for Mablethorpe – tapping into almost £16m of Town Deal funding.

A new purpose-built leisure centre and digital learning complex will be built on the site of the current Station Sports Centre in Mablethorpe and will increase and improve opportunities for leisure and learning in the town.

Councillors also approved planning consent for the Campus for Future Living, which is set to put Mablethorpe at the forefront of medical technology and innovation.

Purple-Lidded bin delivery update

The delivery of purple-lidded bins to those residents in phase one of the rollout (those residents whose bins are collected Mondays and Fridays) is largely complete, however due to operational issues there has been a delay for some of those residents.

If you are due a collection of paper and card on a Monday or a Friday and you have not received your purple-lidded bin then please present your grey recycling bin instead. You can continue to place your paper and card into your grey recycling bin until your purple-lidded bin is delivered.

For customers in Phase Two of the rollout (those whose bins are collected on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday) please be advised your purple-lidded bins will be delivered in the coming weeks.

We would like to thank our residents so far for putting the #RightThing in the #RightBin and it has been fed back that the paper and card collected so far from those residents who have received their purple-lidded bin is of very high quality.

A quick reminder that tissues, takeaway pizza boxes, shredded paper and plastic bags are not accepted in our recycling and they need to be placed in your black bins.

By opening up procurement to work across South Holland, Boston and East Lindsey is a key milestone for the Partnership while also being able to address enviro-crime head on across each authority.

Dementia smart wristbands to protect vulnerable people in East Lindsey

A "smart" wristband will be issued to people living with dementia in a new project launched by the county's police and crime commissioner.

A pilot project using 600 bands will be launched in East Lindsey and supported with a £1,000 grant from PCC Marc Jones and additional funding from local community groups including the Royal British Legion.
