Bosses at a holiday park in Lincolnshire are planning a major site renovation as declining visitor numbers threaten to turn it into another “statistic” of the recession.
Visitor numbers have been steadily falling at Short Ferry Caravan Park near Fiskerton, but its owners have come out fighting with a bid to give the park a face lift and bring holidaymakers back to the once popular destination.
Short Ferry has submitted a planning application to renovate its swimming pool and holiday accommodation while providing improved disabled facilities and landscaping the site, thisislincolnshire.co.uk reported.
Rob Hardman, a partner in the business, told the website: “We need to change things. The facilities have been upgraded over the years but it’s time to have a big go at it.
“We want to make the place special.”
Currently in the second phase of application, the proposals make the case that without upgrading the facilities the site cannot compete with other nearby sites.
West Lindsey District Council is currently conducting a public consultation of the plans.
