MASSES of plants went up in flames on Cleethorpes Beach despite the blanket of snow covering it.

The removal of a 500m stretch of sea buckthorn took place on Monday, at about 10pm, behind Meridian Park.

North East Lincolnshire Council hired Creative Nature UK Ltd to set fire to the plants in a controlled way. The removal forms part of the Cleethorpes Habitat Management Plan – which responds to public concerns over the effect that a growing saltmarsh could have on the resort – adopted in January 2011, following agreement with Natural England.
