Multimillion-pound redevelopment project in Lincolnshire progressing on schedule
Work on the construction of a new multifunctional building and grounds at Sutton on Sea’s former Colonnade and Pleasure Gardens site is progressing on schedule.
Midlands contractor G F Tomlinson is working alongside their design team, CPMG and Alan Wood Associates and client East Lindsey District Council through the Pagabo Medium Works Framework.
The multi-million-pound development will include lettable space for retail, a sea view café and a restaurant, along with facilities including toilets and new exhibition space.
Work is progressing with steelwork and main drainage complete, alongside the ground floor and first floors installed.
The blockwork has also been completed and the installation of the structural steel frame is now underway.
Part of the Mablethorpe Connected Coast Town Deal, the scheme has been approved to receive £4.6m of Town Deal funding, with the remaining costs funded directly by East Lindsey District Council.
Adrian Grocock, group managing director at G F Tomlinson, said: “We are proud to be involved in the significant redevelopment of this landmark cultural tourist attraction for Sutton-on-Sea, encouraging further investment into the Eastern coastline.
“Our team have worked closely with all sub-contractor partners to carefully manage the enhancement of the existing structure with transformative elements that will deliver tangible benefits to the residents and visitors to the town. We are moving forward at a good pace and we are in a good position to deliver on schedule.”
Councillor Martin Foster, the Council’s champion for the project, said: “We are delighted with the continued positive progress on the colonnade site, and seeing G F Tomlinson leading the construction process that will ensure the new facilities will be delivered to the highest quality of workmanship and suitable for its unique, scenic coastal surroundings.
“When completed it will bring new tourism and income for the town, create new jobs and opportunities, and provide residents and visitors with a place to enjoy our stunning Eastern coastline from.”
