GOOD NEWS FOR BOAT ANGLERS AND WATER SPORTS ENTHUSIASTS - SLIPWAYS SET TO REOPEN


Jet-skier off Cleethorpes Beach 

THE slipways providing access for private craft from Cleethorpes beach to the water will re-open this Saturday July 4.

This has been confirmed by North East Lincolnshire Council.

However, there will be a requirement to register with staff Team at the Beach Safety Office for a permit and key for the slipway gates. 

The only individuals permitted  to access the slipways without a permit are Cleethorpes inshore commercial fishermen.

From 9am on Saturday, the office will be open for people to register for a permit.
                                
However, due to Covid guidance, this will need  to be done observing social distancing, so there may be some appropriate changes to procedure at the office.

All applicants will be required to supply a photograph of themselves, the craft, trailer and pulling vehicle along with mobile phone number and email address.

Day launch permits are also available, providing 48hours notice is given.

Comments Cllr Callum Procter, NELC's cabinet member for tourism: “I am delighted we can now  re-open the slipways for people to enjoy the sea, whether for water sports or for fishing. 

"However, people must remember that they need to use the water responsibly.”
