There is a Black hole opening up In Skegness

This morning I went to get my Astra Vaccine so I was near sea front.
I noticed a hole in the ground and it looks like there is lots of space inside too.
Looks easy for someone to have an accident.
This is between two roads and more likely public right of way.
Its obviously going to get bigger over time.
Seems with sand so low on beach, maybe its causing sand under land to start to erode. 
Hopefully everything will be alright. 
It's not just pot holes in roads that are a problem the many footpaths also are causing accidents.

air ambulance to incident at Skegness clock tower

Air ambulance crews landed on Skegness beach around 6am this morning to an incident where a cyclist was brought down by a van, apparently he has bad injuries but not be life threatening. 
the thing that is so strange is that the time of the incident would have been very quiet with traffic so how did this happen,  unless it was deliberately done in rage.
The van is a dull navy blue in colour, and the back of the wheel on the bike is pinned down under the transit Van's front right wheel.
I came out for the sunrise for  05:20 am  and the accident mist have happened around 6am.

Hazard spotting Skegness

The image below is part of the route that a lot of people take on the way to Beacon Medical centre, brail foot path near crossings for people with poor or no eye sight to use to help them identify the crossing. Little would they know, waiting for the sounding of the green man could turn into a road side splash up.
I use sticks myself to aid me walking and did find it very difficult to Manoeuvre indeed.



Also I notice fresh cracks along the path heading towards the beacon medical, also there are also older cracks that look older and filled with dirt.
I am not sure what is causing it. But I thought I would share it as it’s something we all should know, mainly incase it become worst and may cause Injury to people we care about.

If anyone has anything that I should blog about then please get in touch,
Writing local news is just a hobby for me, and any one who has something that I could use, please let me know.

Skegness sculpture of pain

Ever since work as been undergone to change the look of Skegness for 2012.
People of the town have already talked of their worries over the humps, 
I myself and many countless people have expressed that some body will have a serious accident on them Humps in the very near future.
My mother had noticed seeing kids playing on the humps with their bikes when she was on the passing local bus and she said something bad is going to happen.
Infact as soon as the eye saws were built the horror of our feelings came true.
Every inocent childs 1st thought is to run over the humps, They are on Holiday after all.
as i was resting on one of the seats i saw proof that was enough to show that children will play even with guidence from their elders.

I sat here and asked myself how long do i need to wait before i see people on the hump.
I was actually recording a video of the entrance, And when i panned to my left i saw these 2 bellow inocently having fun. We all loved walking along walls as a child, and here this woman assists her young one.
But if people are waiting for a train (Example Mother on mobile whilst children run over the hump for fun)
Children do the opposite to what parraents say,

Also "Do not" signs compell people to do the opposite
I would recommend wording like:  We would be very greatful if people would not play on theses humps as we would like you all to have a safe and pleasent holiday.
I know that the cost of the Skegness train station welcome project was around  3 quarter of a million pounds.

Skegness Humps



It as been reported that a 14 year old boy fell victim to the 1st accident that people still feel more accidents will soon follow regarless of what signs are placed.
Bradley was riding his bike over the humps just  before the laws of gravity and stone smashed his cheek bone resulting in the need for grueling surgery to insert a metal plate into his cheek.
Why did this have to happen before our carining opinions can be heard.
Atleast do some public research before forcing us to have to live around gaurenteed death traps.
Bradley should not have a single blame in any way, Its hard to say this, But he had to have his accident to prove what we already knew was going to happen.

I really do hope  that Bradley makes a good recovery regardless and that he does carry on being 14 the way 14s should be. curious, adventurous, and playfull. Maybe he will be a safety co-ordinator some day,
