Part of Mablethorpe beach has been closed off, with diggers spotted on the coastline as part of a 'renourishment' project. The closure is being carried out by the Environment Agency at a number of locations between Mablethorpe and Skegness that takes place every year.
The agency had said in a notice in Mablethorpe that it attempts to avoid working during the school holidays, meaning that work is likely to be concluded soon. The "beach nourishment" is taking place at eight spots on the Lincolnshire coast this year, including Mablethorpe, which was recently named as one of the best beaches in the country.
Four items of heavy machinery have been spotted in the coastal town for the works, with part of the beach shut off to ensure safe working. The work, which take place between Easter and the summer holidays, closes areas of the beach for "short periods of time" according to the Environment Agency.
