What a muddy nuisance! Tractor and beach rake get bogged down on beach off Brighton Slipway

Well and truly stuck! The scene at 9am today


QUESTIONS are today being asked after a tractor - with two men on board - became temporarily stranded on Cleethorpes Beach early this morning.

Given that the threat posed by the mud off  Brighton slipway is well known, why was the council vehicle on it at all?

And why was it towing the mechanical beach rake normally reserved for the sands?

Happily the tractor - and its occupants - came to no grief (though there were a few red faces).

By mid-morning, things were back on the go - on a safer surface near to the leisure centre. 

This is a very serious situation - anxiety is etched on the faces of onlookers
                                               

Did no one read the sign?

      
Oh, the folly of humans! A curlew looks on in bemusement (or is it contempt?)
    

Normal service resumed - but this time on firmer ground
