Council plans to splash out £10,000 on signage banning 'community-blighting' hobbies

New signage is expected to be installed later this  spring to alert residents and visitors to a prospective ban on activities such as metal-detecting on Cleethorpes Beach. At a meeting tomorrow,  Wednesday, North East Lincolnshire Council's cabinet will be recommended to approve £10,000 on installation of 150 A3 signs. The authority has identified metal-detecting as one of various activities that, so it claims, "blight our communities". It expects the costs of installing and maintaining the signs to be met by fines meted out to 'offenders'.
