| A gloomy sight - the murky waters of the paddling pool |
HOW sad!
Historically the paddling pool off Marine Walk has always been one of Cleethorpes' most popular summer attractions.
But not this year - at least not yet.
The 'entrepreneur' who took over its running from North East Lincolnshire Council has has not reopened it for the current June-September season.
This is much to the disappointment of thousands of children and their parents.
It is thought lockdown restrictions may have been a factor in the decision.
The Grimsby News says: This is really disappointing, not to say depressing. As well as letting down kiddies and their parents, the paddling pool in its current sorry-looking state reflects poorly on Cleethorpes as a holiday resort. At the very least, a sign should be put up explaining the reason for the closure. And is it intended that it should reopen at any time in the future, either this summer or next? The three councillors for the Haverstoe ward - Keith Brookes, Margaret Cracknell and Bill Parkinson - need to get involved. So does NELC's portfolio holder for tourism, Callum Procter. Questions need to be asked and answers given.
