Northern Powerhouse Minister Jake Berry has unveiled a £3.75-million investment into Grimsby as part of its Town Deal.
Today’s news is part of the second phase of the Town Deal and will see North East Lincolnshire Council work with national charity OnSide to create a Youth Zone in Grimsby town centre.

Council Leader Philip Jackson said: “The Town Deal is acting as a catalyst to unlock a much wider regeneration programme for Grimsby town centre and the Port of Grimsby. It has the potential to realise new commercial, cultural, leisure and residential opportunities on the port and on under-used land around Alexandra Dock.
“Delivering the Town Deal has been a major part of our work, and it’s the dedication of people and organisations involved that we’ve reached this point.”
Deputy leader and portfolio holder for regeneration John Fenty added: “The future for Grimsby looks truly exciting and alongside other projects in our borough – the South Humber project to deliver employment land in some of our sites along the A180 and the Cleethorpes regeneration projects – we are really building pace.”
