A special workshop has been organised for January 22, 2010, to give the people of Mablethorpe an exciting opportunity to have their say on how the town moves forward.

Although the time and venues are still being finalised, Mablethorpe's newly appointed Town Centre Manager, Karen Froggatt, wanted to give the business community plenty of notice to ensure everyone has an opportunity to contribute. Karen's initial task is to set up a Town Centre Partnership that brings local organisations together to share a collective vision for the area that everyone can work towards and the workshop will help to do this.

Karen was appointed by East Lindsey District Council in October and since then has been out and about in the community meeting local people and understanding their aspirations for the area: 'It's really important that we get good representation from all sectors for the Workshop and this must include retail, commercial, food and drink, leisure, accommodation providers, transport and the public sector. This is an opportunity for local businesses to take an active role and help identify the priorities to be taken forward by the Town Centre Partnership once it's up and running early next year. Mablethorpe needs you so please put this date in your diary!'

In the meantime, residents and businesses can contact Karen by e-mail to Karen.froggatt@e-lindsey.gov.uk or by calling 07917 628171.
