WHY BOTHER WITH MASTERPLAN IF BLIND EYE IS TURNED TO GRAFFITI THAT SHAMES RESORT?

What sort of impression does this create with visitors to Cleethorpes?

 

IN the same month, that Cleethorpes is being promoted as an important UK hotspot for eco-tourism, an interpretive panel highlighting some of its shorebirds has been further trashed. 

The foreshore panel has now been so disfigured that almost all the individual images have been completely obliterated.

The artwork was created by bird artist Ian Shepherd, of  Lindsey Road, Cleethorpes, who shrugged ruefully when asked about the vandalism.

The work was originally commissioned by the old Cleethorpes Borough Council who agreed to return the pictures to Mr Shepherd - but this never happened.

Are they still tucked away in some council office cabinet? Or are they decorating the wall of  a former CBC officer or member?

Most of the images have now been obliterated

                                                     

The Grimsby News says: North East Lincolnshire Council spends a barrowload of money on commissioning a consultant to come up with a 'masterplan' to enhance Cleethorpes. Why bother if it cannot take the trouble to maintain the signage on its foreshore? Why no action by officers, wards councillors or tourism panel members? Are they not aware of the blight? Or do they just not care?  Why not do the simple thing and just remove the panel?
