Pedestrian access to Cleethorpes Railway Station will be transformed if spruce-up plan gets green light

                                                              

Architect's impression of how the access could look

PLANS have been unveiled for a major spruce-up of the pedestrian approaches to Cleethorpes Railway Station.

At present, they are shabby and present a poor image to train passengers - residents and vistors alike.

But that could all change if North  East Lincolnshire Council approve the application for Listed Building Consent submitted by  Transpennine Express.

The project involves replacing existing ramps and steps and installing new seating and lighting plus a customer information screen.

There would also be landscaping, including steel planters to accommodate colourful flowers, shrubs and/ or small trees.

Say the agents, Strzala Architects: "The proposed works aim to enhance the pedestrian route between Grant Street and the North Promenade while improving accessibility and safety for  users. 

"Overall, the scheme would significantlyimprove the user experience, ensure compliance with modern accessibility standards and contribute positively to the ongoing regeneration of the station environs while preserving the historic context."

The application is currently under consideration by NELC planners.
