Skegness to get housing pods to address housing needs

East Lindsey District Council is to acquire four new accommodation pods in Skegness in a move to address housing needs.

The plan involves installing the pods to provide temporary housing solutions as part of the council’s broader strategy to tackle homelessness and support vulnerable residents.

Councillor William Gray, Portfolio Holder for Communities and Ageing Better, said: “This approval is a testament to our commitment to improving housing options for our community. These pods will offer safe and secure accommodation for individuals who are facing housing challenges.”

Councillor Sarah Devereux, Portfolio Holder for Partnerships, said: “The introduction of these accommodation pods is a vital step in our mission to support our homeless community. These pods provide immediate shelter, warmth, and safety, while we work with individuals to find more permanent solutions. We are committed to ensuring that everyone has access to safe and dignified living conditions.”

Each sleeping pod provides a bed, chemical toilet, and charging facilities. They are designed to help people who have been sleeping on the streets and have complex needs, making hostel-style accommodation unsuitable.

The project is expected to commence shortly, with the council working closely with local contractors to ensure timely delivery and installation. This initiative is seen as a pilot project, with potential for expansion based on its success and community feedback.
