Construction to start at £1.5m Tower Gardens, Skegness

CONSTRUCTION work to breathe new life into Skegness’ much-loved Tower Gardens park is set to begin today (28 May).

Perfect Circle is delivering project management, cost management and health and safety services for the £1.5 million scheme in Skegness, Lincolnshire. The provision of these services has been procured via the Scape National Built Environment Consultancy Services (BECS) framework.

After standing derelict for 10 years, the Victorian park’s former Tower Gardens pavilion was demolished earlier this year to make way for a new community building in the centre of Skegness, comprising a community hall, cafe, community meeting area and changing places toilet.

The surrounding public realm is also being refreshed and treelined, opening up the area to the adjoining gardens, which include a children’s playground, ponds, green spaces and an entrance to the town centre.

Victoria Brambini, managing director at Perfect Circle – the consortium comprising Pick Everard, Gleeds and AECOM – said: “The now-demolished pavilion played a vital role in Skegness’ history and its growth as a seaside resort in the late 19th century. We are delighted to be involved in such a fantastic project that will regenerate the area, directly benefitting the Skegness community with new public spaces, and boosting the town’s tourism industry.
