Work starts on Cleethorpes’ newest address, 2 Sea Road

Construction work will be starting in the next few weeks on the new building on Sea Road in Cleethorpes.

A new three-storey building will be constructed on the brownfield site on Sea Road, comprising retail or hospitality space, as well as new public amenities and a changing places facility. The first floor of the building will be accessible from Pier Gardens, giving a gracious nod back to how the pier was accessed when it was first constructed.

Other elements of the building hark back to the Art Deco seaside style and the buildings constructed around the resort at that time, such as the small retail kiosks on Central Prom, and the former Electricity Board showroom on Isaac’s Hill.

Funded by Government, the building will be constructed by Lincolnshire-based Lindum Group, who work across the Lincolnshire, Yorkshire and East Anglia areas.

Work has been ongoing in the background to complete some of the internal detailed designs ready for construction to begin. Next week will see spoil removal from the site, with associated traffic management while the work is being done. This is due to be complete ahead of Easter.

Cllr Philip Jackson, leader of North East Lincolnshire Council, said: “I’m really pleased to get this project finally underway which will bring new facilities to the resort. Securing a local company to do the work is great news too, and I’m looking forward to seeing this building grow in the coming months.”

Lindum Group Co-Chairman Freddie Chambers said: "Lindum is a Lincolnshire-based company with strong links to this part of the county, and we are committed to supporting the local economy through the use of local subcontractors and suppliers wherever possible. We look forward to engaging with local groups and stakeholders throughout the project, including opportunities for site visits where appropriate.

"We are pleased to be working with North East Lincolnshire Council once again — previous projects together include the remodelling of the former Matthew Humberstone School, works to the Grade II listed Victoria Mill building, and upgrades at Cleethorpes Leisure Centre."
