February 2017 – Humberston Fitties C.I.C.

February 21, 2017February 22, 2017

Estuary TV

Fred McNamara of Estuary News visited the site earlier today to talk about the rich history of the site and the Community Interest Company bid.

The sun was shining and the Fitties looked lovely. Thanks to everyone who helped prepare, who sent messages of support, passed on information on their chalets and those who got involved on the day. Unfortunately we couldn’t get round to see everyone who offered as they were only doing a very short news bulletin this time, but they will hopefully be back in the summer to do more, when we can get more people involved

Catch it on Estuary News on Thursday 23rd at 5:30pm and then again at 7pm, 9pm and 11:30pm

Support the Fitties CIC

We are asking NE Lincs residents to write to their local councillors in support of the Fitties CIC taking over the management of the site instead of selling it to a commercial holiday company. The contact details for your Ward Councillors can be found on the council website:

Humberston Fitties was our Majorca in the 50s/60s

I do hope Humberston Fitties will survive as “a summer place”, not a satellite of the ever-expanding Humberston.

Petition opposing North East Lincolnshire Council’s proposed disposal of the Fitties

Humberston Fitties is one of the few surviving ‘plotland’ developments in the country. Historically, locals have been drawn to the coastal sand dunes of the saltmarsh area known as ‘the Fitties’ since the First World War.
