or connected to basic utilities. Councillor Howard also said thathe understands that at least one of the huts due for demolition isclassed as suitable for the disabled and that this should bereplaced or if possible, all made suitable for such use.5.5.5 Although the main proposal is for Mablethorpe, CouncillorsShields and Andrews also received the draft for comment.5.6 Officers had informal discussions with Mablethorpe and Sutton on SeaTown Councillors on 8 October 2009, noting the following comments:5.6.1 Councillor Parkhurst was concerned that a freeze in fees mightresult in a sudden rise at some point in the future.5.6.2 There was a query about having high and low season charges.This used to be the case before the structure was simplified. Itwas suggested this might apply in future on sites and at timeswhere occupancy was consistently high and the chalets thereforeattracted a premium.5.6.3 Councillor Daw queried what was meant by “making good” a sitewhere chalets were demolished, but not replaced. She wonderedwhether these spaces could be developed to add to the area, egwith play equipment.5.6.4 Councillors asked that any income from selling new chaletswould be ring-fenced for investment in the remaining stock.5.6.5 Councillors queried whether selling the chalets would be the bestoption. They were keen that the there should remain sufficientchalets available for daily and weekly hirers.5.6.6 Officers were asked to identify how many bases are currently insitu with no chalet on them and what condition they are in.(Officers identified 1 on Bohemia Parade and 2 on SouthPromenade Sutton-on-Sea, but these cannot be used currently).5.6.7 Officers were asked to consider whether there could be a single,or a cluster, of traditional beach huts, close to the BathingBeauties to maximise their use in advertising the service.5.6.8 Officers were asked to attend a meeting of the Town Council forformal discussion, prior to a decision being made at ELDC’sExecutive Board. (17 January 2011: see 5.7 below).5.7 The Mablethorpe and Sutton Town Council Amenities Committee wereformally asked to comment on the proposal at its meeting on 17 January2011. All Members agreed that the investment was welcome as theexisting chalets are looking tired and attract adverse comment. TherePage 102
was concern that if sold “off plan” and sales were low, only a limitednumber of new chalets might be built, leaving gaps. Clarification wasgiven that this report recommends that all 18 new chalets are built in thisphase, but that this is subject to guaranteed sales of 6 huts by 1September 2011 and may therefore be phased in blocks of 6 at a time.The previous request (5.6.4 above) to ring-fence income from sales forfurther re-development was repeated. There was also a strong view thatlease agreements should be rigorously enforced to ensure that the newchalets are well maintained, especially in this prominent location. TheCommittee asked to see the plans for the new chalets and to be kept upto date with developments as the project moves forward.5.8 A draft of this report went to Mablethorpe and Sutton Town Council’s FullCouncil meeting on 14 February 2011. A letter of response is attached atAppendix E, indicating that they would not like to see piecemealdevelopment taking place and would wish to be involved in agreeing adesign for the chalets. A formal response to this letter was sent.5.9 Representatives of Neighbourhood Management were present at themeetings on 8 October 2009. Their main concern was that additionalCCTV should be installed to prevent damage and reduce costs. They citedexamples of vandalism to existing chalets, although those quoted are inprivate ownership and not part of the Council’s stock considered by thisreport. Officers indicated that this would increase running costs for boththe District and Town Councils, but that costs could be sought.5.10 Discussion has taken place previously with Mablethorpe Tourism Forumand Mablethorpe and Sutton Chamber of Trade. During these meetings,concerns were raised about the poor condition of the chalets betweenQueen’s Park Mablethorpe and Sutton on Sea. Property Servicescolleagues have been made aware of the concerns. However, many ofthese are no longer controlled by ELDC.6 DISCUSSION / CONSIDERATION – ISSUES / CONCLUSION –including reasons for recommendation(s)6.1 Overall, the chalets provide a valued service to their customers, but costa considerable amount to run. The stock is ageing and, despite someincrease in occupancy rates, costs will continue to rise. This proposaloffers the opportunity to test a longer-term, more commercial approachto resolving these issues, which is also hoped to stimulate further privateinvestment in the foreshore.7 OTHER OPTIONS FOR CONSIDERATION (drawn from previoussections)7.1 Members may wish to market test the whole stock, cease the wholeservice, or continue the service without doing the redevelopment works.Page 103
