Visitors to the beach at Cleethorpes have been advised to utilise alternative points of access after changes in sand levels left a series of steps suspended dangerously above the ground. The North East Lincolnshire Council has attributed the issue to recent climatic setbacks, which has resulted in a decrease in sand levels in selected areas. While they have assured the public that sand levels across the beach are generally constant, they have further cautioned individuals to circumvent the problematic steps as they work on a remedial measure. The situation has elicited discussion on social networking platforms, with some people casting doubts on the structure’s design and others making good-natured remarks about the steps contracting in the cold weather. This is not a new situation for beachgoers at Cleethorpes as they have faced previous warning brought about by weather conditions. For instance, in April, remains of a World War Two aircraft were exposed by powerful currents, revealing loaded ammunition. The council reiterates the importance of alertness and abidance to council advice for the safety of residents and visitors alike.
