Possible Bridlington marina development revealed as part of mayor’s growth plan
An AI impression of how a Bridlington marina development could look has been revealed as part of a regional economic strategy – setting out ‘a clear ambition for growth and renewal’.
In a video fronted by the Mayor of Hull and East Yorkshire, Luke Campbell, a section covering Bridlington harbour showcases the area’s possible future.
The footage shows how the area could look as part of the mayor’s comprehensive 10-year growth plan.
As reported in the Bridlington Free Press on May 21, the Local Growth Plan is a long-term vision to unlock the region’s full economic potential by positioning Hull and East Yorkshire at the forefront of the UK’s industrial future and as a competitive investment destination.
Built around four transformative ‘Big Plays’ that build on the region’s strengths, the strategy also identifies key investment opportunities.
They include the Humber Freeport sites in Hull and Goole, the major regeneration of Hull’s Western Docklands, and the long-term development potential of Bridlington Bay.
Talking about Bridlington, Mr Campbell said: “A new marina at Bridlington is a chance to bring new life to the coast.
“It will boost tourism, support local businesses, and help turn the town into a year-round destination. It also opens the door for private investment in leisure, hospitality, and new homes.”
The report said: “A Bridlington Bay Opportunity Study will review and reimagine the area’s long-term growth potential, taking a fresh, integrated look at opportunities both onshore and offshore.
“Building on existing evidence and local strengths, the study will assess the scope for growth across marine and offshore industry, tourism and leisure, agri-food, housing, and skills to inform future investment and regeneration priorities.”
The plan also looks at possible housing provision and developments across the area, with land at Easton Road being put forward as a site for 700 units.
He added: “What matters most to me is that local people feel the benefit of all this. I want people to have the chance to build a good life for themselves and their families, right here in our region.
“My message to investors is that Hull and East Yorkshire is open for business and ready to deliver.”
