The Maze at Cleethorpes Pier Gardens was more than just an attraction; it was part of the original character and charm of our beloved town. In 2024, the council removed this historic feature, citing reasons like anti-social behaviour, which they had largely ignored until that point, and to allow local habitats the freedom to nest. But removing the Maze wasn't right. The Council made this decision without properly consulting the community, leaving many of us unaware until it was already gone.

This Maze was an iconic part of Cleethorpes, a place where families gathered, children played, and visitors from other towns came to experience a piece of our unique heritage. With benches and tables set up, people enjoyed relaxing there and indulging in classic fish and chips, while kids would run through the Maze’s paths with joy. It lent a sense of charm and history that is deeply missed by both locals and visitors alike.

The Council pointed to years of anti-social behaviour as the cause for the Maze's removal. But the truth is, this behaviour went unchecked because the necessary actions to prevent it were not taken. They could have improved safety measures by deploying PCSO’s, park rangers, or wardens to manage the area, especially where Pier Gardens meets Alexander Road and Sea Road.

We aren't asking for the impossible. We understand the importance of preserving local habitats, but this can be done in conjunction with maintaining our heritage. We propose the duplication and return of the Maze, designed with sensitivity to both community needs and environmental concerns. Perhaps on a nearby suitable piece of land where it doesn't interfere with nesting habitats.

Let us work together to restore this vital part of Cleethorpes' identity and community spirit. We are urging the council to listen to its residents, past visitors, and those who hold Cleethorpes close to their hearts. Your support is crucial in showing the council how much the Maze meant to us all, and how its return could once again enrich the community experience for both locals and tourists.
