Mablethorpe is scheduled to receive £20 million in funding over the next ten years as part of the government’s Plan for Neighbourhoods Programme. The investment is intended to support local regeneration and place residents at the centre of planning decisions for the town’s development.
The funding will complement the existing £23.9 million Mablethorpe Towns Fund, which has already delivered projects including the Station Leisure and Learning Centre, the Campus for Future Living, and the Seaview Colonnade in Sutton on Sea.
Mablethorpe joins Skegness, Boston, and Spalding in the government’s long-term renewal programme for Lincolnshire. Councils are expected to receive new powers under the Pride in Place initiative to manage community assets, regulate nuisance businesses, and influence the future of local high streets.
Recent funding in East Lindsey has included £24.5 million for the Skegness Towns Fund, £20 million long-term funding for Skegness, and £8.1 million for cultural and heritage projects in Alford and Spilsby. Councillor Craig Leyland described the announcement as “a huge boost for Mablethorpe and for East Lindsey as a whole,” highlighting its potential to drive regeneration and community-led development.
