A survey has been launched to give Sutton-on-Sea residents the opportunity to share their thoughts on a name for the new Colonnade and Pleasure Gardens site that is currently under construction.

 

Following meetings and suggestions with resident groups, a shortlist of five names was drawn up for East Lindsey District Council to consider, and these options are now being put out for people to vote for their favourite via a short online form.

 

The shortlist of names to choose from are for ‘The Sutton-on-Sea…:

The survey is open to Sutton-on-Sea residents until Monday 30 September, and can be completed at www.e-lindsey.gov.uk/NameSurvey – with posters with QR codes to the form also being put up around the site over the coming weeks.

 

The Colonnade development is a £7.5million project forming part of the government supported Mablethorpe Towns Fund, working with the Connected Coast Board to bring new opportunities and transform communities in the area. Initial works started in September 2023, and is expected to be operational before the 2025 summer season.

 

The first phase of work will provide residents and visitors with a new state-of-the-art pavilion, including a café and restaurant, a Changing Places toilet and exhibition space.

 

New beach huts will also be included as part of this phase of the works, as well as enhancements to the Pleasure Gardens to create additional seating areas, and space for pop-up events and markets. There will also be planting and community gardens, whilst retaining popular existing features including the paddling pool area.

 

Councillor Martin Foster, the Council's champion for the project, said: “It has been fantastic to see such great progress with the Colonnade site in recent months, and hope that having a name for the development that the community have invested in will help make it feel that bit closer to becoming a reality.

 

“I know many residents are excited for work to be complete and these new state-of-the-art facilities to be open to enjoy, bringing new tourism and income for the town, creating new jobs and opportunities, and providing residents and visitors with a place to view our stunning Eastern coastline from. I hope lots of people will take the chance to have their say on the name of this important new landmark for Sutton-on-Sea and the whole of East Lindsey.”
