WHEN WILL CLEETHORPES GET ITS LONG-AWAITED NEW SEAFRONT TOURISM BUILDING?

The site of the former Waves pub - but are there any takers?

WORKS to extend the hoardings around the former Waves pub site on Sea Road in Cleethorpes will be taking place tomorrow (Thursday 30 September) and are expected to take one day to complete.

The extension of the hoardings follows public realm works around the area which has opened additional footpath space allowing for the creation of a larger and safer site.

Temporary tarmac ramps will also be installed close to the WCs on Sea Road to better improve accessibility in the area.

The footpath will remain open and uninterrupted for the majority of the day except for short periods of time while plant and materials are moved around the footpath. 

During periods of closure, signage will be erected directing pedestrians to the footway on the north side of Sea Road.  

North East Lincolnshire Council says motorists will not be disrupted during the works.

Medium-term, plan is for there to be a new building, incorporating a tourist information centre and other amenities, on the site, but the project appears to have stalled.

It is possible that Lockdown may have been a factor in the lack of progress to date.

The pub was demolished many months ago
