Council announces latest initiative to spruce up pavement on Cleethorpes seafront

Concrete paving slab will be replaced with natural York stone

WORK is due to start next week on a nine-week project to replace paving along the landward side of Alexandra Road in Cleethorpes.

The project will bring the paving outside properties from The Empire building to Figs restaurant in line with the rest of the improvement works in the resort that were completed pre-pandemic and earlier this year.

It will also complement the work being done to restore the balconies and shop fronts along the same stretch.

The existing paving, in most cases, will be replaced with new natural York paving stone to match the rest of the paving in the main areas of the resort. 

The kerbing that was put in during the earlier works will remain in place. Additionally, surface water drainage for the properties will be improved.

The works will start at the Empire building end and work towards Figs.

While the scheme is in progress., the parking bays adjacent will be suspended from use. 

Additionally, the pavement width may be restricted for pedestrians. 

Both of these measures are to ensure there is a safe working area for the contractors. 

Access to properties and businesses may be affected for short periods of time.

The initiative is  funded by North East Council supported by grant funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund as part of the Townscape Heritage Project for Cleethorpes.

Nine-week project starting on Monday
