By Locals react to proposed Sea Road hoarding design
Plans to redecorate the boards first emerged in February following the controversial revelation that £1m in funding intended for the redevelopment of the site was spent on demolishing the former Waves nightclub and improving nearby footpaths.
The site has remained empty since.
A “national marketing campaign” is said to be underway to find an operator for a “planned new multi-functional building.”
Now, the proposed designs were unveiled.
An updated statement issued as part of a planning application reads: “As this location is in a prime site in the heart of the tourism area on Central Prom, this advertising consent application seeks to cover the existing hoardings with new graphics.
“The detail will inform the local community and visitors of what Cleethorpes has to offer, and also to provide information about the proposals within the recently approved master plan.”
There have been some that have disagreed with the proposals or suggested alternatives.
“Would be great to allow local graffiti artists to paint a fantastic design. Zero cost to the council and residents.” One user wrote.
“It could be a great temporary advertisement space for local businesses and places of interest” One commented on social media.
“It doesn’t change what is behind the newly designed hoardings” They added.
The plans were unveiled and are subject to consideration- some have voiced their opinions on what should be done on social media below:
“I still do not understand why they had to demolish an iconic building which served a purpose and whilst needing a facelift looked so much better than a demolition site. And the lovely flower beds.” One user said.
“Why can’t they listen to what the people want and how much it’s gonna cost after all it’s our money they are spending ”
“Why hasn’t the site been cleared and made into a garden with a seating area similar to Grimsby riverside with sculptures and trees natural is always best”
A formal quote has been requested at this time.
