Construction of a new three-storey building to house seafront visitor facilities in Cleethorpes has reached a significant milestone.
This week has seen the start of putting up more than 62 metric tonnes of steel for the new building on Sea Road.
Lindum is delivering the Sea Road project for North East Lincolnshire Council, providing modern public amenities, changing facilities and lettable retail or hospitality space.
Steel supplied by ArcelorMittal Scunthorpe is being installed by Scunthorpe-based North Lincs Structures Ltd.
The new building is adjacent to the Humber European designated sites for wildlife and habitats. Part of the planning permission included a condition that any works undertaken during the winter should consider its impact on migratory birds and wildlife.
Cleethorpes coastline forms part of the key pathway for migrating birds that use the shoreline to rest, and to get food. It’s important that measures are put in place to reduce disturbance.
As part of this, work patterns and the type of work on site will vary on site during the winter so that work noise is reduced for a period either side of high tide.
Designed to complement the character of the seafront, the building takes inspiration from Cleethorpes’ Art Deco heritage, with architectural references to nearby landmarks such as the Central Promenade retail kiosks and the former Electricity Board showroom on Isaac’s Hill.
Once complete, the first floor will also be accessible from Pier Gardens, reinstating the historic link between the gardens and Cleethorpes Pier.
