Bridlington Marina (proposed)

[tinkicker0]

What happened to it? Last I heard was that new plans had been given planning permission.

Has it all fallen by the wayside again and been filed under Pie In The Sky?

I think there were a number of objections to the original (or possibly the 2nd attempt) plans.

I suspect the whole thing has fallen under the cuts.

Must confess the idea never seemed that good to me. You might get the boats parked ok - but car parking was always going to be an issue, and I suspect security too.

So if you'rs looking to move from Naburn - you may wish to try Scarboro - they have the same security and car parking issues but at least there is a marina.

Haven't been there for years but do they still have boats moored in cradles? Something I've never seen anywhere else.

They did when I was last there. Seemed a good idea to me. Makes better use of space than conventional moorings, allows keelboats to take the ground safely and relatively cheap.

I think Scarborough has them too in the old harbour.

Presumably the Bridlington Marina Project was created by the same people who announced the Barrow in Furness Marina Project. Good idea but no funds.

BBC News Mr Google is your friend. The pic shows those piles. I think it was because the racing fleet were Dragons and would fall over otherwise.
However these plans were published on 20th October.

Thanks all. A far cry from the proposed 500 boats and sea lock to keep the water in at low tide.
