“any one remember when the promanade never had a beach from the pier to the old swim pool it was put there from 2 sand banks . now the river swirl have build a sand bar up just of the tied line thus the salt marsh will thrive in the new beach lagoon that will be , this was done by the removal of the sand banks and the reclaim land on the docks , it was on calender in the seveneties that this would happen, first it hit donna nook then horshoe point then humberston now creeping up to cleethorpes”

“The question needs to be asked, if the salt marsh is prevented from spreading to Cleethorpes beach will it be that detrimental to wading birds? I doubt it, but it will be detrimental to the economy of Cleethorpes if it's allowed to encroach any further.

Anyone with the slightest knowledge of this area of the coast will be aware that there are large areas already provided for sea birds all along the shore line up to New Holland and further, plus Reads Island. I'm all in favour of looking after wildlife, but a little common sense needs to come in to play now and then.

The destruction of Cleethorpes beach would be hugely detrimental to the area and no great gain to the sea birds.”

“Lets face it, the saltmarsh is the least of Cleethorpes' problems. Cleethorpes has hardly changed in 50 years and it's a joke. Talking of which - how did Cleethorpes look in the 1970's? Look at it today to find out.

I agree this marsh has to go but the council has to do far more than that if the area is to thrive because all the removal of the marsh will do is to slow down the decline. But the decline will continue....”

“It is vital to cut it back, as a few months ago I had to return home to Southport for my late father's funeral, and when we drove along the promenade and along the beach area I was shocked to find it taken hold of by the creeping doom. I couldn't believe how much of the beach was lost to the saltmarsh. If Cleethorpes don't start doing something and soon it will happen here. Forget the loonies of natural England and I love nature and its creatures but this would definitely kill off Cleethorpes if allowed to spread”
