A PROPOSED new observatory on the Lincolnshire Coast could provide ideal for birders who like to watch seabird migration in comfort.
East Lindsey District Council has today unveiled artists' impression of an ambitious and imaginatively-designed 'colonnade' development for Sutton-on-Sea.
It could prove as promising a site for watching passing terns, skuas, divers and waders as the observatory further south at Chapel Point, near Chapel St Leonards.
Here are ELDC's bullet points to accompany the proposal:
• A “bridge” between the garden level and the promenade level, incorporating a lift as well as stairs, so that it will work for everyone
• Create a “look-out” or “observatory” to take advantage of the sea view and easily accessed from the gardens – and vice-versa
• Create an interesting and attractive new sea-facing venue (cafĂ©, bar, restaurant)
• Gallery space for a constantly changing series of exhibitions; something to keep bringing people back to see what’s on
• Introduce alternative uses for the bowling greens, with suggestions including a covered outdoor performance area
• Install replacement beach huts to be built with versatility in mind – both in use and location/re-location out of season. Some could be dual purpose to allow them to be used as mini-shops for events (such as Christmas Market) and to have the type of power supply necessary to allow this type of use as well
• Retention of the paddling pool area.
