'MOST UNUSUAL' SHOP ON CLEETHORPES SEAFRONT COULD BECOME TAKEAWAY BAR


Coming soon - sandwiches, cones, Coke and coffee?

 
The 'most unusual shop' in Cleethorpes could soon be converted to a sandwich bar.

The uniqueness of Cleethorpes Collectables, on Alexandra Road, is that it rented out cabinets for individuals to sell goods - typically antiques or collectable items.

One of those who had a cabinet was former North East Lincolnshire mayor Melanie Dickerson whose home-made  teddy bears sold well.

However, lockdown and the onset of online retailing has reduced the attractiveness - and profitability - of the shop.

The council's planning department is considering an application by John Rowbotham to change the use of the shop to a fast-food outlet selling the likes of sandwiches, burgers ice creams and both hot and cold drinks.

A decision on the proposal is likely to be made before Easter.
