Next stage in Cleethorpes transformation begins

Next stage in Cleethorpes transformation begins

There are “exciting times” ahead for Cleethorpes as the next stage in its transformation begins this summer after funding was confirmed.

Major changes to the coastal resort’s seafront and town centre will happen as attempts are made to make its economy all-year round and less reliant on tourism. The overall vision is known as the Cleethorpes Masterplan.

Levelling Up Fund £18.4m cash for phase one of the Cleethorpes Masterplan was officially accepted by North East Lincolnshire Council on Wednesday. The three elements of phase one will be developed further through the summer as a result.

They include the redevelopment of Pier Gardens, a sea change of Market Square and a landmark tourism building at Sea Road. “We are expecting they provide an incentive for further private sector investment,” council leader Cllr Philip Jackson said to cabinet. He said it was “exciting times” for the resort.

“Cleethorpes is already a thriving resort and these key projects in the heart of the resort will help to diversify the offer and extend the season, something we all want for Cleethorpes, both to support the local economy and local people.

“In terms of the other areas identified in the Masterplan, like North Prom and the Southern end of the resort, we will be looking for opportunities to bring these forward where we can, but more work needs to be done on these with landowners and other parties before we can put forward funding bids.”
