| Scott Snowden - dream job |
CLEETHORPES' new resort manager says he regards it as "a privilege" to have been appointed to the position.
A local man and former police inspector, Scott Snowden has only been in post for the past seven months.
In that time, he says he has enjoyed getting up to speed with business owners as well as consulting with watersports enthusiasts, visitors and residents about what makes Cleethorpes tick.
"I have a passion for Cleethorpes," he says. "I have lots of ideas and energy."
One of his first priorities has been to update slipway management which he felt had become "outdated" and subject to abuses.
To this end, he has been consulting with other seaside resort in his quest to establish what works best.
One concern has been the thoughtless behaviour of some jetskiers who have reportedly been "causing danger" to bathers, paddleboarders and other watersports enthusiasts.
They can also cause panic to feeding or roosting shorebirds.
In a well-received presentation to this week's meeting of North East Lincolnshire Council's tourism scrutiny panel, Mr Snowden noted that the resort's Beach Safety page on Facebook had been updated.
Because of its popularity with younger people, he was keen to make greater use of social media.
He emphasised that he was keen to promote Cleethorpes as a top-class outdoor destination.
