CoastNEL
CoastNEL is the Coastal Community Team for North East Lincolnshire. Steered by a diverse and strong membership of passionate local people, it is supported by North East Lincolnshire Council. The team strives to make a positive difference to our coastal community aiming to make North East Lincolnshire a desirable destination to work, stay and play – a place to have a career, not just a job, a home, not just a house and a place to thrive and enjoy life.
CoastNEL was awarded £3.8 million of Coastal Communities Funding to help deliver a number of projects in Cleethorpes to enhance key areas, provide new facilities and deliver events in the resort.

The CoastalBUSINESS grant of up to £1,000 is available to support groups of businesses to organise and deliver a business initiative that will attract visitors, increase footfall and enhance the resort’s existing events programme.
