They came, they saw, they went away again! Still no official action to remove Cleethorpes mini-mountain

Hazardous - the mound of rubble is thought to pose a particular risk to cyclists

ALMOST two months after it first appeared, a lorry load of hardcore still part-obstructs a busy Cleethorpes street.

Dubbed 'Mount Sherburn' by locals, the mound poses a hazard - particularly to cyclists - because it is unaccompanied by any hazard bollards and remains unilluminated at night.

It also blocks access to a tenfoot alleyway and occupies space that could be used for parking.

Earlier in the month, a team from North East Lincolnshire Council investigated the mound, scratched their heads and pondered, then  went away again - seemingly never to return.

How did the rubble come to be where it is? One theory is that it has been designated for use in a bungalow improvement project in a nearby street, but this is unconfirmed. 

Sherburn Street is within the Croft Baker ward, but it is not known if any of the three ward councillors is  seeking action for 'Mount Sherburn' to be removed or if it will remain for the rest of the year.

Puzzled! A council team investigated - briefly - but that, apparently, was the end of the matter
