SPOTLIGHT WILL FALL ON QUEEN'S LONG REIGN AT CELEBRATION EVENT IN CLEETHORPES

                                                

Her Majesty - Cleethorpes event will celebrate her remarkable reign

A GRAND event to mark 70 years since the Queen came to the throne is being planned for Cleethorpes in early June next year.

Covid permitting, June should be a bumper month in the resort because, a few weeks later, the Armed Forces event is set to return.

There had been fears that both events might be disrupted because, throughout summer, the RNLI's contractors are due to be building a  new lifeboat house on the central beach.

However, at a tourism scrutiny panel meeting, North East Lincolnshire Council's tourism chief Helen Thompson assured councillors that the construction project would be paused during these particularly important weekends.
