'Bridlington is on the up': Seaside resort transforms into a holiday resort

  • 14 days ago
Andrew Chapman’s day involves changing beer kegs, fixing slot machines and popping in and out of businesses in Bridlington, “problem solving” any issues they have.

One of their big problems is the seaside town’s perception including catchy headlines such as “boarded up Bridlington,” and it being dubbed as one of “Britain’s worst seaside resorts.”

Andrew however claims that one of the national journalists writing those stories came “out of season” when everything was closed for maintenance.

Andrew, the owner of Funland Amusements, the two arcades on Bridlington’s seafront, said: “All the fun fair was closed for cleaning. With all the salty air it needs to be done when you’re by the sea.

“Businesses were annoyed because the day the person came it was out of season - mid week in february.”
