FORMER FASHION MODEL WILL HELP SPEARHEAD BID TO REVAMP FORMER CLEETHORPES FUN PARK

Enjoying a day at the races - Kristine Cudova


A FORMER fashion model has joined the push to see redevelopment of the former Pleasure Island theme park in Cleethorpes.

Kristine Cudova  used to grace the catwalk at fashion shows in her native Latvia.

But now based in upmarket Formby, near Liverpool, she is a highly successful businesswoman.

The Grimsby News has learned that she has joined the board of YPG FAB2 Ltd - one of the companies in the consortium behind the £57-million project to build a hotel, holiday lodges, a supermarket and leisure facilities, including a casino, on the derelict Kings Road site.

How come her awareness of the ambitious Cleethorpes project?

Her fiancĂ© is entrepreneurial former Grimsby schoolboy Ming Yeung, now a successful property developer, who is one of those at the forefront  of the bold Pleasure Island venture.

Ms Cudova (37) is an expert horticulturalist - her favourite TV show is the BBC's Gardeners' World -  who is likely to have an influence on landscaping the site, assuming planning consent is granted.

She is also likely to have a significant input on the interior design of the hotel and luxury lodges.

The lady from Latvia is also a sports fan who follows Liverpool, some of whose stars she knows, and Widnes ice hockey club.

She is also a dog enthusiast though this is unlikely to  be of any help to her at a revamped Pleasure Island.

To save disturbance to the songbirds, badgers and other wildlife that have made their home there, her consortium colleagues have pledged that , when it opens, the revamped leisure site will operate a no-dogs policy.

The new director is a  keen gardener and sports fan

The Grimsby News says:  What's not to like about this! Any involvement by a former model is certain to add sparkle to the ambitious Pleasure Island project. Good luck to Miss Cudova, and let's hope we see more of her in Cleethorpes.
