Ruby-red steel security mesh proposed outside two timber sash windows at Cleethorpes Railway Station

                                                   

Rail company keen to enhance security by installing steel mesh protection outside windows

RAIL chiefs at TransPennine Express are hoping North East Lincolnshire Council will give Listed Building consent for steel mesh protection to be installed outside  recently-fitted timber sash windows at Cleethorpes' Grade II  Listed railway station.

Says a report: "The design and appearance of the proposed  mesh protection will match that which already positioned on the window that faces the car park. 

"This approach will ensures a consistent and unified appearance so that all protective elements align and create a coherent visual arrangement.

"The mesh will be powder-coated in ruby red, a colour taken from the original Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway palette. 

"Overall, the works would represent a minimal and fully reversible addition that protects the newly restored heritage windows while maintaining the visual integrity of this important historic structure." 

It is thought likely that NELC will rubber-stamp the proposal early in the New Year.
