Focus of controversy - the Fitties kiosk
A CAMPAIGN is under way to save the telephone kiosk on Humberston Fitties from removal.
At least five chalet owners have appealed for it to be retained after it emerged this week that BT no longer regard it as commercially viable.
But residents maintain it is an important feature of the holiday site.
One, Sue Scott, has written thus to North East Lincolnshire Council: "Rather than the cost and time to remove it, and of course the environmental impact of potentially ending up in landfill, the residents and owners at Humberston Fitties have some excellent ideas for its use:
* A mini community library where books and magazines can be swopped
* An information point for residents, owners and visitors alike giving details of places of interest, local events, fundraisers etc
* Displays of creative items and crafts
She continues: " Hand sanitiser can also be kept inside the booth and perhaps a guest book to record its use or for submission of ideas for its improvement.
"As we are a conservation area and committed to preservation and enhancing our environment, I feel this is the better option than removal.
"The community spirit of the Fitties people is very much alive, and, I think, quite a rarity these days.
"Such a focal point would certainly only serve to enhance this further and ensure inclusivity for all people who enjoy this beautiful place."
This notice of intent has been posted on the kiosk
