The majority of options put forward were rejected due to the potentialcosts involved in implementing them. The section of the Reviewdocument relating to these options and the outcomes which wereagreed, summarised above, is attached as Appendix ‘A’.1.6. No full-scale review of the chalets has been undertaken since 2001/02.However, since then, the Skegness blocks have been outsourced andthe Bathing Beauty beach huts have been installed. These areconsidered in more detail in Section 4 below.1.7. This report takes account of other activity to review and developMablethorpe’s assets, such as the 21 st Century Mablethorpe work. Thissets a context of wider regeneration activity, against which theproposals in this report would ensure that ELDC is making the most ofthe existing traditional chalets, making a significant contribution to thequality of the visitor offer and supporting the heritage of the area,whilst seeking to run the service more commercially in future.Page 91
