Sewerby Hall and Gardens near Bridlington is planning to install metal palisade fencing after existing wire mesh was cut and removed.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council is planning to install metal palisade fencing at Sewerby Hall and Gardens near Bridlington after existing wire mesh was cut and removed from a site access road. The council said the works are necessary to address ongoing security concerns regarding unauthorised access to the hall. Infill panels will also be added to a gate linking the estate to nearby Bridlington Links Golf Course.

The Grade I-listed country house with 50 acres of parkland, award-winning gardens, zoo and clifftop views attracts more than 150,000 visitors a year. The site is popular with dog walkers and offers scenic views along the East Yorkshire coast. According to planning documents, gates on the access road were initially installed in response to an increase in visitors accessing the attraction without paying for admission, together with people being on the road without permission, particularly in the evenings.
