BOATING OFF THE LEISURE AGENDA AS WATER LEVELS CONTINUE TO DIP AT CLEETHORPES LAKE


No boat rides today - the lake in the water is simply too shallow 

A POPULAR Cleethorpes attraction has  been suspended because of the continuing drought.

In some places, water at the boating lake is so shallow - just a few inches - that the vessels would become stranded moments after having been launched.

They are, therefore, moored up pending the lake's replenishment by rainfalll - the more of it merrier.

Meanwhile, concerns are growing for wildlife - particularly the fish - that are now at increasing peril of oxygen depletion.

And, after landing, birds, such as gulls, geese, swans  and ducks, are at risk of injuring their legs because of impact with the lake's concrete base.

What's going on here? Where once it swam, this  bemused-looking mute swan now stands
