By Traffic lights trial in Cleethorpes to improve traffic flow
This weekend, 6/7 April, temporary traffic lights will be installed at the junction of Short Street and St Peter’s Avenue in Cleethorpes.
Works to Cleethorpes High Street are ongoing as part of the overall regeneration scheme, but in response to requests from local businesses and the community, the team behind the works is trying to find alternative arrangements to help improve traffic flow around the diversion route.
The traffic lights will be operational from 12noon to 6pm on both Saturday and Sunday, and monitored at all times.
If the trials are successful, these will be put into operation over the busy periods coming up in the resort.
Additionally, the team is working on alternative diversion routes to help traffic leaving the resort. These are in the process of being finalised, with a view to them being implemented in the very near future.
The overall regeneration project was developed by CoastNEL, a local group with representation from a wide range of local businesses and the community, supported by the Council and ENGIE, and this current phase of works on High Street will be completed in July 2019.
Funding for the overall project has been secured from the Coastal Communities Fund, Heritage Lottery, Local Transport Plan and North East Lincolnshire Council
