Sends a plea for restoration of seaside walks (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

esplanades

'seaside walks' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'sends a plea for restoration' is the wordplay.
'for restoration' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'sends'+'a'+'plea'='sendsaplea'
'sendsaplea' with letters rearranged gives 'ESPLANADES'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for esplanades that I've seen before include "go to seaside resorts for such" , "Seafront walks" , "Places to stroll" , "seaside walks" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Guardian.
