The change has caused controvesy
A councillor has defended North East Lincolnshire Council’s future rules on unauthorised metal detecting on council-owned parks and beaches, saying it is not a ban.
Cllr Ron Shepherd, portfolio holder for safe and stronger communities, says the move is as a result of safety and environmental issues with holes dug not being filled in.A number of metal detectorists have expressed their opposition to the move, with a Scartho man describing it as “a total joke”. “That goes across any of the council’s land and the reason for that is we need to know who it is, who’s on there metal detecting.However, the ban on unauthorised metal detecting was announced without details on how to get the permit.The issue he had had from contact with the National Association of Detectorists and individual detectors was about Cleethorpes Beach and not council-owned parks.
“Where they say that they come and remove debris from the beach, somebody said they remove unexploded ordnance. If they are doing that, they are dafter than I thought they were.
