Just weeks after an arson attack at The Vista at the Boatshed in Huttoft it has officially opened to the public.

Colin Davie, executive councillor for economic development, environment, and planning at Lincolnshire County Council, welcomed guests for a breakfast meeting with a message of hope for the coast facing the challenge of the rising cost of living.

The £800k investment by Lincolnshire County Council boasts a high-quality café and kiosk, there is an external area and a rooftop capable of hosting larger 'pop-up' events.

Inside there is information about attractions throughout the Lincolnshire Coastal Country Park, as well as refreshment and toilet facilities.

Coun Davie said: "Huttoft is part of a largely undeveloped and beautiful stretch of natural coastline. It's already a popular spot and has massive potential if we add the right kind of activities and attractions.

"The National Trust have recently acquired the former golf course at Sandilands and are developing this into a new nature reserve providing a year-round visitor experience.

"We're keen to encourage nature tourism and outdoor recreation here to really embrace the unspoilt beaches and countryside we have. The Boatshed Café really supports the kind of area we want this to be."
