| Cleethorpes Market Place - council aims to start redevelopment later this year |
The proposed work is ahead of the prospective makeover which, whether business owners like it or not, is scheduled to start towards the end of the year.
Of the sampling, which will take place next Wednesday and Thursday, North East Lincolnshire Council says: "These will provide us with a good understanding on where we potentially require additional pavement works during construction.
"Several individual parking bays in the area will be taken out of action for a short period as the surveys are carried out.
"In addition, sections of street will need to be closed off for short periods to take these core samples.
"Localised traffic management will be implemented while this is done. Each sample will take approximately one hour.
"Once the work has been completed, the information can be included within the tender package for the redevelopment starting later this year."
According to NELC, the history of market activity in the town now known as Cleethorpes dates as far back as 1322 - possibly earlier.
The Grimsby News says: It has not been clarified by NELC whether opposition from business owners in the Market Place has now receded. Unfortunately, all the discussions were held in private, so no one is any the wiser about the extent to which the project is either supported or opposed. Before work starts, we believe a planning application should be submitted so that the issues, including any traders' grievances, can be outlined and evaluated in full. Given the rich history of this part of town, an in-depth archaeological survey is also essential.
