Another cartload of the yellow stuff is taken away from the prom |
TONNES of sand were today being cleared from the promenade in Cleethorpes to be deposited further south on the beach.
The sand had been blown up by a weekend of strong northerly winds.
Sad to say, North East Lincolnshire Council makes work and incurs cost for itself.
Its longstanding policy of raking the beach (to make it as carpet-like as possible) not only destroys its biodiversity but refines the sand - making it more susceptible to being blown on to the promenade.
Far better would be to keep machinery off the beach to allow dunes to form which would soon be stabilised by tufts of attractive marram grass.
