AN update
has been provided on the saltmarsh (pictured) that, in recent years, has been edging
closer to the sandy central beach in Cleethorpes.
A brief
report by North East Lincolnshire Council’s ecology officer, Mike Sleight, is
due to be considered at a tourism scrutiny panel meeting on Thursday of this
week.
In it, he
says of the position as of June 27 this year: “The saltmarsh over the last year
has receded somewhat and no saltmarsh was dug up last year.
“However,
this growing season has seen some tufts of grass sprout up, and these have
been
removed by Beach Safety.”
Mr Sleight
goes on to sound an upbeat note on the orchids on the dunes south of the
leisure centre.
“They have had
an excellent season, recovering well after the tidal surge of 2013.
“We always
claim some of the best wildflower areas in northern Lincolnshire, and this has proved the case this
year.”
