| Trees that surround all sides of the former theme park are seriously at risk |
A DOWNSIDE of proposed redevelopment of the former Pleasure Island theme park in Cleethorpes is that it could lead to the loss of one of the finest collection of mature trees and shrubs in the resort.
Most, if not all, would be vulnerable to the ambitious proposals to build an hotel, a supermarket, a petrol station and log cabins, all set around a recreational lake.
Any loss of greenery would also result in loss of precious habitat for songbirds, butterflies, dragonflies and other wildlife.
It may be that German supermarket chain Lidl and its development partners have come up with an imaginative scheme to safeguard and enhance the leafier parts of the site, but this will not be known until submission of a planning application which is expected any day soon.
