£1.5 Million has been secured from the Environment Agency to replace the timber groyne (breakwater) at the northern end of the North Promenade, next to Wonderland.
Work will start on Monday 24 April 2017 to replace the existing timber groyne which will be replaced with a Y shaped groyne, made from rocks, which is the most effective shape for the tidal movements around the area, and is the most cost efficient in terms of long-term maintenance. This new groyne will be half the length of the existing groyne.
The remaining existing timber groynes along the North Promenade will also be refurbished as part of the scheme.
The groyne plays an important role in maintaining sand levels on the beach to reduce the impact of the waves on the sea walls, protecting this area of Cleethorpes from flooding.
Nearly 12,000 tonnes of rock will need to be delivered from Norway to complete the new groyne, with the rock sizes being up to 4tonnes in weight.
The works will take approximately 10 weeks to complete.
Councillor Dave Watson, portfolio holder for the Environment, said, “The 100 year old groyne has come to the end of its natural life, and is due for replacement. The new groyne is the most cost efficient in terms of construction and on-going maintenance, and additionally has been designed to re-establish the sand levels in this area.”
The remaining groynes between Wonderland and the Pier will also be partially refurbished as part of this project with new timbers installed to prolong the groynes’ residual life.
