Cleethorpes boating lake - trading opportunity up for grabs at adjoining car park
THINKING of starting your own outdoor retail business?
Tourist-friendly concession spaces are now available to lease in three locations across Cleethorpes.
North East Lincolnshire Council is making spaces available at the following locations:
* North Prom, near Wonderland
* Boating Lake car park, between Tropical World and Cleethorpes Coast Light Railway
* Marine Walk car park (near Buck Beck bridge)
Says NELC: "Uses for the spaces could include the provision of food or other stalls.
"Each site comprises a plot of land capable of locating a single vehicle or stall, and lease amounts vary."
However, it adds: "Anyone interested in taking on one of the concessions will be required to obtain their own planning consent for the intended use of each space."
Anyone seeking more informaton can contact PPH Commercial (pph-commercial.co.uk) which is marketing the spaces on behalf of the council.
The rate for the leases is understood to vary from £3,500 to £6,000.
The Grimsby News says: There should be no shortage of takers for this money-making gambit from the council. But it carries risk. It would be a shame if a 'shanty-town' effect were to be created in attractive tourist areas of Cleethorpes. Furthermore, there is likely to be opposition from existing businesses if the new space-holders are perceived to have an unfair trading advantage because of lower overheads. NELC should brace itself for some flak.
