Plans For Grimsby Town Centre Improvement Programme Approved
Plans have been approved for a town centre improvement project in Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire.
The programme will focus on four key areas of the town and is scheduled for completion in March 2020.
Up to £3.682 million from the Humber Local Enterprise Partnership (Humber LEP) will be matched by £450,000 of council funding to carry out works in Riverhead Square, Cartergate, St James Square and Town Hall Square.
Features include:
• Riverhead Square – infrastructure and public realm works including an enhanced pedestrian link between Riverhead Square and Alexandra Dock to support delivery of the £20m cinema/leisure development at Riverhead Square.
• Town Hall Square – extension of the public realm improvements in Osborne Street to Town Hall Square to enhance the amenity of the area and increase vibrancy.
• Cartergate – enhanced pedestrian and vehicular access to the site to unlock development of the land adjoining the recently completed office building.
• St James House – consideration of the future of the vacant premises at St James House and public realm improvements to St James Square to support the mixed use redevelopment of the site.
Overall, around 222 jobs are expected to be created through the programme, on the back of around £30m of private sector investment.
Cllr Peter Wheatley said: "We have recently completed some landmark projects in the town centre and have had complementary investment from the private sector. Along with our partners, and our joint working on the Greater Grimsby Town Deal, there are some important projects in planning which will make a significant difference to our town centre."
