These are the sort of pods Cllr Shepherd has in mind |
A NEW business venture is on the cards for a member of North East Lincolnshire Council's cabinet.
Latest wheeze of Cllr Ron Shepherd, a former Scout leader, is to install four glamping pods at his smallholding known as The Shepherd's Purse on Bradley Road.
He hopes the project will generate substantial extra income to boost his earnings from vegetable growing, horticulture and council work.
Already he has been in contact with Kendal-based pod supplier Newfoundland Leisure Lodges Ltd.
However, before Operation Glamping can proceed, Cllr Shepherd, who is an ex-mayor of the borough, will need planning permission from the council.
His application is currently under consideration by NELC officers who may seek assurances that he intends planting trees and hedgerows to enhance wildlife at the site.
