Activity underway - at last - on ambitious 'landmark building' project for Cleethorpes seafront

                                                              

A temporary modular building was today being installed on the Sea Road site 

IT looks like wheels have begun turning on the proposed new 'landmark amenity building' on Sea Road, Cleethorpes.

North East Lincolnshire Council has not officially confirmed who the main contractor will be.

However, indications are that Humberston-based  JemBuild could be involved to a significant extent on the construction given the firm's  recent presence on the site which formerly accommodated Waves pub and public WCs.

Meanwhile, NELC says it had agreed a deal with an operator to lease "a material element of the building, once completed, to a leading national hospitality company",  but it is keeping the  identity under wraps.

"It's a national firm but it isn't McDonalds," says a spokesperson. "More will be revealed in due course."

The authority's continuing coyness is causing some concern to other traders whose investment plans for their own businesses are having to be put on hold until they know the likely nature of the competition.

But back to Jem Build - it is a well-respected firm with impressive credentials.

Its team is well capable of fulfilling large contracts and has a portfolio of completed projects across a spectrum ranging from industrial to community, from retail to education.
