Get involved in the exciting regeneration plans for Cleethorpes and submit your very own photographs of the resort.
North East Lincolnshire Council has been awarded £18.4m of Levelling Up Funding (LUF) to transform Cleethorpes seafront. This includes regenerating Pier Gardens, reintroducing the historic Market Place and delivering a multi-use, tourism-focused landmark building on Sea Road.
Members of the public could be in with the chance of having their work showcased as we move closer to the transformation of the three projects.

The Cleethorpes LUF vision is to regenerate three key areas of the resort. As a result, hoardings will be required around various sites once work gets underway, to protect the public and workforce.
This is where the public can step in! Instead of plain hoardings, we want to showcase the fantastic photography of locals and visitors alike.
What are we looking for? People and places within the Cleethorpes main resort, including the beach, promenade, water, shops/businesses, sport and activity.
A bit about each project:
- Rejuvenate the historic Market Place for social interaction, reconnecting our busy seafront and town centre, creating jobs and boosting the economy. This scheme proposes major improvements to the square and the reintroduction of a functioning historic marketplace.
- Redevelop the Sea Road site opposite the Pier to provide a tourism destination. It will include state-of-the-art public amenities and changing facilities, as well as commercially lettable space across all floors of the building, which may include different providers in retail and hospitality.
- Regenerate Pier Gardens (an existing linear park stretching from Sea Road to the Memorial Gate), retaining the Victorian heritage and feel, but incorporating various new activities. In the Masterplan consultation, people wanted to see more made of the gardens, with additional seating, planting to increase biodiversity, and improved areas for children’s play, events and performances, and spaces for reflection and contemplation.
What is LUF?
