Work now underway to repair Cleethorpes slipway that had been hammered by high winds and waves

 

One half of the slipway near the Wonderland building had been left in a precarious state by the elements

WORK has begun on repairs to the slipway off North Promenade that was damaged by winds and high tides earlier this month.

Says North East Lincolnshire Council:  "There was a strong onshore wind which increased wave energy and height - hence the damage.

"Materials for the slipway repairs have arrived, including specialised repair mortar suitable for a marine environment, and the works have now begun.

"The works should be completed by the end of next week though this is subject to tidal cycles. 

"Once the works are fully complete, the slipway can be used again."
