SAY GOODBYE TO THE POPPIES - A NEW LIFE BECKONS FOR FORMER TERTIA TRUST SITE

 
The fomer Tertia Trust site as it is today

Work is now nearing completion on the extension of the Thorpe Park holiday site at Humberston. The land was occupied for many years by the Tertia Trust which provided getaways for children from impoverished backgrounds. Later, under an unhappy spell of control by three North East Lincolnshire councillors - Chris Shaw, Alex Baxter and the late Mick Burnett - it became a magnet for vandals. Thereafter, it reverted to life, for several years as an unofficial nature reserve - home to swallows, songbirds, grey partridges, bats, trees, shrubs and wildflowers. However, this spring and summer, landowners Bourne Leisure have been cracking on apace with redevelopment of the site for its new purpose as a recreation venue.
