IT'S full steam ahead for entrepreneur, property developer and Beatles fan Ming Yeung with his latest project in Cleethorpes.
Clearance work is now underway on a former arable field at Hewitt's Circus - opposite the Tesco superstore - in readiness for construction of 86 houses.
The scheme has sometimes been dogged by controversy - not least when North East Lincolnshire planners made a hash of determining Mr Yeung's scheme and refused his planning application without adequate grounds.
After submitting an appeal to an independent inspector, Mr Yeung not only won but was awarded his costs in full against NELC .
Mr Yeung is a longstanding fan of The Beatles - one of his companies is known as Fab2 - and, subject to official approval, he plans to name the Cleethorpes development Strawberry Fields - the title of one of the Fab Four's songs.

* Scaffold erection
* Brick and blockwork
* Joinery
* Masonry to envelope buildings and other areas
* Plastering internal and external, plaster boarding
* Electrical Installation
* Mechanical installation
* Decoration
* Landscaping, Tarmacking
Construction hours have been set at 08:00 - 18:00 Monday to Friday and 08:00 - 13:00 on Saturdays.
The project is set to take 18 months.
It is not known if either of the surviving Beatles, Paul McCartney or Ringo Starr, will be invited to Cleethorpes to cut the ribbon and hand over the keys to the first occupants.
Action man Mr Yeung is also a director of the consortium, headed by the Lidl supermarket company, which, subject to planning permission, hopes to redevelop the former Pleasure Island theme park.
