Eyes UP for new development

MERIDIAN Point's latest development has been revealed in all its glory this week, and I for one am impressed.
While I've never played any game with two fat ladies before, I know the demand for bingo is huge.
We've seen the front page headlines in the Grimsby Telegraph about the major wins, and I often hear about the excellent social atmosphere generated by the game, enjoyed by those who play it - those who perhaps do not have so many other outlets for socialising.
Not only that, the location means it is perfect for serving the thousands of tourists who come to Cleethorpes for the summer months, and the semi-residents who spend a good deal of time here in static caravans and chalets.
The reaction to the excellent looking facility has been somewhat negative, with cries of 'not the right area' - but surely on a site with fast food restaurants and a cinema already doing well it is the perfect spot.
With outline planning permission granted some time ago, it will be a welcome addition to an area of the resort that is now fulfilling its potential, gradually providing a united seafront from North Promenade to Humber Mouth Yacht Club.
Personally I hope it takes off, especially if it allows for development close to the station, for that is one part of Cleethorpes that needs some tlc.
And two little ducks will be much more at home by the Boating Lake.
