Humberston building firm boss 'delighted' with contract - but what will be inside the building?

                                             

How the new building might look - a lot of concrete but also a lot of greenery 

THE boss of Humberston construction firm JemBuild has welcomed its latest contract award - to build the  three-storey amenity building proposed for  Sea Road in Cleethorpes.

"I am delighted we have secured this fabulous contract with North East Lincolnshire Council," enthuses JemBuild's managing director, Paul Barker.

"We look forward to working with NELC along with our construction partners, Hodson Architects and C2C Structural, plus local suppliers.

"This exciting project  will undoubtedly cement its place in the local landscape to become as iconic as its sister building opposite - Cleethorpes Pier."

In recent weeks, JemBuild has been working with NELC to strengthen  the retaining wall  behind the old beach safety offices. 

Once this has been completed, work will start on the main structure.

Other than WCs and changing rooms, it is still not known what will 'amenities' will be within the building, but food and drink will certainly be in the mix.

Earlier in the year, NELC quashed speculation that it might become yet another McDonalds, insisting that it would be a different 'hospitality provider'.

Who might that be? The authority is remaining tight-lipped - or perhaps no deal has yet been clinched.

Says a spokesperson: "Work is ongoing to secure the pre-let agreement for the hospitality provider.

"Its identity will be announced in due course."

In the meantime, can anyone suggest a name for the building once it has been completed?
