A Lincolnshire coast car park will no longer be free and will have a height barrier installed after concerns were raised over toilet waste being dumped. The changes at the car park at Marine Walk in Cleethorpes are designed to stop motor caravan drivers using it as a free overnight stopover, or for even longer in some cases.
There have also been concerns raised that chemical toilets are being dumped into Buck Beck going to the beach whilst people are using the car park, as reported by Lincolnshire Live. North East Lincolnshire Council's ecology department has put measures in place to tackle this issue.
The beck leads to the part-designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), Cleethorpes Beach. The ecology department advised there was also evidence the emptying of the caravan toilets "also affected the bathing water quality, giving anomalously high readings of bacteria".
