TIRED and outdated interpretive signs along Cleethorpes seafront are to be refreshed or replaced in time for the 2021 season.
At a scrutiny panel meeting today, resort manager Scott Snowden revealed that this a priority item on his agenda.
"Some of the signage is old and disjointed," he declared. "There is no identity, nor uniformity.
"I am currently consulting widely with a view to creating a consistent corporate thread."
Mr Snowden noted that consultees included the Environment Agency, the Harbourmaster and Natural England - especially where there were statutory legal requirements.
He said he was also talking to the RSPB which is keen that the importance of Cleethorpes as a stop-off point for migrating and over-wintering shorebirds, such as knot and sanderling, is both well understood and imaginatively publicised.
The initiative was welcomed by panel members including Cllr Gaynor Rogers (Lab) and Cllr Bill Parkinson (Con), with the latter claiming that poorly maintained public signage risked "embarrassing" the authority.
"If it's not in good condition, it is better removed," he maintained.
Cllr Tim Mickleburgh volunteered to write an account, if required, about the history of the pier.
