North East Lincolnshire Council (NELC) has been awarded £18.4m of Levelling Up Funding (LUF) to transform Cleethorpes seafront. This includes three key areas – Market Place, Pier Gardens and Sea Road.

As part of this process, the council has launched a tender for design consultants to play an integral role in the rejuvenation of Cleethorpes’ Market Place.

The rejuvenation will add space for social interaction – reconnecting our busy seafront and town centre – create jobs, and boost the economy. These improvements will re-balance the relationship between traffic and pedestrians, encouraging wider circulation of people through the town. This project will provide a safer, healthier, and more pleasant environment for pedestrians, encouraging a circular route from the seafront through to Market Place and to the town centre. 

Starting in January 2024, the council’s delivery partner Equans and NELC’s project management team will work in partnership with the successful design consultancy to develop designs. Community engagement events will be undertaken with local businesses, the wider community, and residents within the vicinity of Market Place. These events will be designed to generate interest and ideas which will assist with the development of concept designs for Market Place.  Once designs are finalised, a main contractor will be appointed during the summer, with works starting thereafter.

The tender is now open through YORtender for potential applicants and will close on Wednesday 27 November at midday. Please visit the following links for more:

Councillor Philip Jackson, Leader of the council, said: “The area for regeneration presents a unique opportunity to create spaces that will become an attraction for residents and visitors alike. These are early stages of the development and the Cleethorpes LUF projects will take time, but we are working towards improving the offering of the resort even further to make it an all-year-round destination.”

Meanwhile, work is continuing on the appointment of a design consultant to lead on the regeneration of Pier Gardens.

About the three LUF projects:

The vision is to regenerate three key areas of the resort:

• Rejuvenate the historic Market Place for social interaction, reconnecting our busy seafront and town centre, creating jobs and boosting the economy. This scheme proposes major improvements to the square and the reintroduction of a functioning historic marketplace. 
• Redevelop the Sea Road site opposite the Pier to provide a tourism destination. It will include public amenities and a changing places facility, as well as commercially lettable space across all floors of the building, which may include different providers in retail and hospitality. 
• Regenerate Pier Gardens (an existing linear park stretching from Sea Road to the Memorial Gate), retaining the Victorian heritage and feel, but incorporating various new activities. In the Masterplan consultation, people wanted to see more made of the gardens, with additional seating, planting to increase biodiversity, and improved areas for children’s play, events and performances, and spaces for reflection and contemplation.

Close circuit television cameras in North East Lincolnshire have continued to help bring criminals to justice.

According to North East Lincolnshire Council’s latest data, 53 incidents were captured whilst in progress and reported to Humberside Police in September.

A further 27 incidents were caught on camera and have been supplied to the Police as evidence in ongoing investigations.

In 138 instances, CCTV cameras in the borough were used to support a major incident – defined as an event attended by the emergency services.

Councillor Ron Shepherd, portfolio holder for safer and stronger communities in North East Lincolnshire, said:

“The recent investment in our CCTV network has continued to bear fruit as it supports ongoing Police operations, helping to keep people safe and support our wider emergency services.

“The cameras in our network are placed strategically around the borough to make public spaces safer and they are a deterrent to many would-be criminals.

“However, where crimes have taken place, I’m pleased to see that the network has come into it’s own and, along with our really positive partnership with Humberside Police, we’ve been able to use the CCTV cameras to help bring criminals to justice.

“In two recent cases, the camera operators helped identify anti-social behaviour, criminal damage and theft. The operators helped guide the Police to the suspects in real-time and those involved were apprehended.

“I’d like to thank our CCTV operators and our colleagues at Humberside Police for the continued partnership, which is making residents in our borough safer each day.”

The large-scale upgrades, which were approved by the Council’s Cabinet in 2021, introduced a single digital transmission network enabling public space CCTV cameras and rapid-deployment cameras.

Five new cameras were recently installed nearby the bus stops in Grimsby town centre, bringing the total number of cameras in public spaces to 128. Further cameras are due to be installed in the Riverhead area of Grimsby as part of regeneration plans.

North East Lincolnshire Council is relaunching a scheme to help communities to safely clean an alleyway or open space in their neighbourhood.

Applications open on Wednesday 1 November for Clear It, the new voluntary community clearance scheme.

The scheme is aimed at people who live with alleyways or patches of neglected land that suffer with fly-tipping.

Anyone interested can complete an online application form at www.nelincs.gov.uk/clear-it by the end of December.

Thanks to last year’s Clear-It scheme, volunteers worked with the Council to clear six alleyways and other problem areas, including land beside some garages in Great Coates. The alleyways volunteers cleared included Weelsby Street, Durban Road, Algernon Street, Arthur Street, St Helier’s Road, and Wellington Street.

How does it work?

With Clear It, the Voluntary Community Clearance scheme, the Council aims to support communities to come together, safely clean up an alleyway or an open space in their area and improve community pride.

Volunteers will take responsibility for removing waste from an alleyway or patch of land and Council staff will help dispose of it.

The Council will also lend equipment such as litter pickers, bin bags and large bins.

Officers will arrange a site meeting with successful applicants to assess the site, the amount of waste and agree a date for the work.

Cllr Stewart Swinburn, portfolio holder for Environment and Transport, said:

“We’re bringing back Clear It to help those who are willing to come together and clear illegally dumped waste from an alleyway or patch of neglected land that’s not owned by the Council.

“When we first launched Clear It in 2022, we helped volunteers dispose of 48.73 tonnes of illegally dumped waste from problem areas.

“We’d like to see these types of spaces given a fresh start so they become vibrant places the community can enjoy and make better use of.

“If you are keen to transform a neglected alleyway or patch of land, please use the online application form at www.nelincs.gov.uk/clear-it.”

 Cllr Ron Shepherd, portfolio holder for Safer and Stronger Communities, added:

“Clear It gives people the opportunity to work with their neighbours and take ownership of their shared space.

“We sympathise with people whose lives are affected by mess left in their alleyways, but they are private property and it’s not the Council’s job to keep them clean.

“Not all wards have alleyways, so to make the scheme fair and open to all parts of the borough, we are including patches of land that aren’t part of the Council’s usual street cleansing duties. These might be areas where the owner can’t be traced or where it’s not clear who’s responsible for it.

“We’re willing to help those who organise themselves and put plans in place to try and bring their alleyway or a neglected patch of land into use after we’ve helped them by disposing of the rubbish.”

Eleven bus stops at Grimsby Riverhead Exchange now have CCTV coverage to help combat anti-social behaviour in the area, creating a safer environment for bus passengers and bus drivers.

Four new CCTV cameras have been installed to cover bus stops A to L, and these cameras will not only prevent anti-social behaviour at bus stops, but will also reduce security costs, prevent crime and vandalism, and make bus drivers feel safer.

The initiative transpired after the Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP) surveys concluded that people didn’t feel safe at bus stops, particularly those across the town centre.

Cllr Stewart Swinburn, portfolio holder for environment and transport, said: “It’s great to see CCTV cameras being used to prevent anti-social behaviour at bus stops in the local town centre. We are sure that they will have a positive impact for local people and bus drivers by creating a greater sense of security and reassurance. I am looking forward to seeing the impact of the new CCTV cameras which will hopefully prevent vandalism and anti-social behaviour in the Riverhead area.”

Lani Lamming, Enhanced Bus Quality Partnership Coordinator at Equans, added: “From the results of both the 2021 and 2023 surveys, we knew that it was crucial to provide more security at our bus stops for individuals, students and families to help them feel safe and more comfortable when boarding and disembarking the bus in the town centre. We hope to see bus passenger numbers increase as a result of the new CCTV cameras as survey responses suggested safety around the bus stops is one of the things which deters people from using the bus.”

Roads Minister Richard Holden said: “People up and down the country deserve a modern, reliable, and affordable public transport system. That is why we have provided North East Lincolnshire Council with over £5.2 million to boost its bus services. Supporting the council with introducing CCTV at 11 bus stops across the Grimsby Riverhead Exchange is great for local residents, who will now be able to use the bus more safely and with greater piece of mind.”

Matthew Cranwell, Managing Director at Stagecoach, added: “This is a big matter for our customers and staff, given the antisocial behaviour in the area. Security is always listed as one of the key drivers for customer satisfaction, and as a key interchange point this is critical to help with getting passenger numbers up.”

ON SUNDAY 8 October, the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) announced that 20 areas in the UK had secured priority investment for the next 10 years, with a dedicated pot of £200m to be distributed between the areas.  North East Lincolnshire is one of the chosen “Heritage Places”, selected for its ‘heritage needs, opportunities and potential’.

Heritage Fund support has been crucial to the borough’s journey of rediscovery, of reinvention and of planning for the future.  North East Lincolnshire has been the benefactor of some fantastic support to help enrich its own history, heritage and culture, as seen through the Greater Grimsby Heritage Action Zone (HAZ) project, which came to an end in late September.

For the last five years, HAZ became a solid partnership of organisations working together to regenerate historic and culturally important areas of Grimsby. 

These included North East Lincolnshire Council and regeneration partner Equans, Historic England, Associated British Ports (ABP), the Great Grimsby Ice Factory Trust (GGIFT), Humber LEP (now GLLEP), and Grimsby Minster PCC.  Other funders to have worked with HAZ include Arts Council England (ACE), the Heritage Fund, the Architectural Heritage Fund, and the Department for Levelling Up (DLUHC) Town’s Fund.

Projects benefiting from this strong network have included the ongoing Peterson’s Project and Ice Factory, their progress tracked by the Kasbah Steering Group and the Great Grimsby Ice Factory Trust, the town centre’s historic Corporation Road Bridge, Grimsby Minster, the former 19^th century Cooperage, and West Haven Maltings.  The Maltings includes an impressive plan to transform the site into a major youth facility, led by OnSide Youth Zones, a national collaboration of local charities.

Looking through a national lens, those who do not know Grimsby may perceive it as a cultural desert but such people should stop and think again.

Indeed, there is much to celebrate about Grimsby’s heritage – a town that was first written of in 866AD and was mentioned in the Doomsday Book of 1086.  The poem ‘Havelok the Dane’ is said to have been written in the late 1200s, telling the story of a prince of Denmark and his rescuer, Grim the fisherman.  It is said to be one of the oldest surviving romances in the English language and has been the inspiration for Falfest, the town’s new and extremely popular Viking Festival. 

The town later became the largest fishing port in the world, with hundreds of boats moored at the dockside, delivering their catch before heading out to the cold North Sea.  Since the Cod Wars of the 60s and 70s, the fishing industry has since all-but disappeared, but the remains of that era include an area of former workshops, fish processors, shops, and smokehouses, as well as the pontoons and the huge Ice Factory.  Many of these buildings are also of national significance, documenting the country’s rich fishing history.

Today, North East Lincolnshire remains a major centre for seafood processing and is also home to Orsted, the world’s largest offshore wind and operations maintenance centre.

Simon Bird, Regional Director (Humber) at Associated British Ports said: “ABP’s involvement with the partnership has seen some great benefits to the historic quarter of the Port of Grimsby in terms of building restoration. We will continue with the work as a result of this.

“The success of our recent Heritage Open Day at the port is part of the wider work we’re doing to help people understand this historic environment, while bringing new business and employment opportunities to the port, like the filming that has been taking place.”

North East Lincolnshire Council Leader and Portfolio Holder for Economy, Net Zero, Skills and Housing, Philip Jackson, said: “The HAZ projects demonstrate that heritage-led regeneration is more than just the repair of historic buildings within a town centre, it’s also about bringing those buildings back into use, activating them to create social and economic opportunities for our community, and developing pride of place.

“We have achieved some fantastic outcomes over the past five years, but this isn’t the end, it’s just the start, and the Council remains committed to heritage-led regeneration in the future.”

The HAZ project has inspired a wider regeneration of the Borough, including the development of the North East Lincolnshire Heritage Network, and a very successful Heritage Starter Fund Grant Scheme.  The project has run alongside other programmes of work, including the Cleethorpes Townscape Heritage Project and the Grimsby Creates programme, the latter creating several fantastic murals around the town depicting stories at the heart of the community.

Louise Brennan, Regional Director (Midlands) at Historic England said: “Grimsby is a town rich in heritage. From the Medieval Minster to the Victorian Dock Tower, Grimsby’s historic significance is made clear by its collection of stunning buildings. Historic England wholeheartedly supports the restoration and regeneration of Grimsby’s unique industrial and civic heritage, and we are delighted that the investments made via the Heritage Action Zone has enabled the repair and reuse of buildings from the towns’ past, ready to help make its future.”

As the HAZ project comes to an end, the new “Historic Places” project signifies a new dawn for heritage across the borough.  Teams completing HAZ works across the area will now be able to turn their considerations to other buildings in need of regeneration, furthering the process of bringing historic Grimsby to life.

Residents now and in the future will enjoy places of the past, using them as work and community spaces, while the strong partnerships made with organisations like Historic England and ABP will continue to grow as Historic Places takes shape in the coming months.

During the works the Market Hall entrance (pictured above left) will be open as normal during market opening days – Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, 9am until 4pm. At those times Freshney Place can also be entered via this entrance.

Further works are due to get underway at Freshney Place Shopping Centre, as the plans to transform the western area of Grimsby Town Centre gather pace.

The work will allow specialists from appointed contractor, Morgan Sindall Construction, to carry out detailed examination surveys ahead of the major scheme starting in 2024.

Trading at both Freshney Place Shopping Centre and the Top Town Market will continue throughout, with shops and stalls remaining open as normal.

From Tuesday 17 October to Friday 10 November the shopping centre’s Flottergate entrance will be closed along with one of the indoor Top Town Market entrances on the main Flottergate mall. The other three market entrances – including the two external ones next to Devonshire House and on Victoria Street – will be open as normal on market days – Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Freshney Place is otherwise unaffected, with just some slight diversions around Flottergate. Signs will direct shoppers.

A spokesperson from Morgan Sindall, the appointed contractor, said: “This is an extremely exciting scheme, which is set to transform this western end of Freshney Place in terms of the diversity of the offer and the look and feel of the whole area. As we prepare for the main works to begin, we do need to do all the necessary groundwork and we appreciate this may cause slight disruption for both shoppers and traders. We do apologise for that, and we will endeavour to keep this to a minimum.”

Supported by a £20m LUF (Levelling Up Fund) grant award, the Freshney Place Market Hall and Leisure Scheme will create a modern and vibrant new Market Hall in the old BHS building, a new 5-screen cinema operated by Parkway Cinema, more space for eateries and leisure, and a purpose built and well-designed community space.

About Freshney Place:

Freshney Place is Lincolnshire’s largest covered shopping centre, constituting approximately 60% of Grimsby town centre’s retail offering. It has 67 occupied units covering both hugely popular high street brands, independent boutiques, several cafés as well as a dedicated soft play.

• The shopping centre welcomes an average of 125,000 visitors each week and supports 1,700 full and part time jobs in the area. 
• Freshney Place’s western end will undergo significant transformation in the next three years, with support from a £20m LUF Round 2 bid from Central Government, submitted by centre owners North East Lincolnshire Council and awarded in Autumn 2023. A new cinema, market hall and leisure and food venues are being developed.

North East Lincolnshire can build on the past, but through the lens of ‘the now’ its people can see their deep and rich connection to the sea, and also learn from their heritage.

And today (Sunday 8 October), in a major boost to its heritage and cultural work, the borough has been named as one of the UK’s initial nine “Heritage Places” by the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF), securing priority investment for the next 10 years.  

With 11 more areas to be announced, in total there is a dedicated funding pot of £200m for North East Lincolnshire and the other 19 areas between now and 2033. The 20 places have been chosen based on their ‘heritage needs, opportunities and potential’.

Announcing the long-term Heritage Places project, Eilish McGuinness, Chief Executive of the NLHF  said: “Our Heritage Places is designed to support in challenging times, to achieve even greater impact, and commits our funding for the long-term.”

Cllr Hayden Dawkins, North East Lincolnshire Council’s Cabinet member for Culture and Heritage, said: “We are delighted to have been selected as a ‘Heritage Place’ and look forward to continuing to work closely with the Heritage Fund to support our communities to explore their heritage

“It is amazing when you stop and consider the dedication and enthusiasm being displayed by a growing number of people and organisations in North East Lincolnshire – all who have a desire to see us all enjoy arts, culture and heritage and also learn and grow. Everyone here at the Council thanks all those involved, and we are excited to see what the future brings. This also builds on the regeneration of our borough and will complement the vast amount of work being done to transform our area,” he added.

Over the last few years, Heritage Fund support has been crucial to the borough’s journey of rediscovery, of reinvention and of planning for the future. North East Lincolnshire has been the benefactor of some fantastic support to help enrich its own history, heritage and culture, which has supported wider investment through the funding from the Towns Fund, UK Shared Prosperity Fund and Arts Council England

There’s been plenty of work around the subject of heritage, not only through work the Council has led on, but partners and private sector too. Let’s look at some of the projects supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and, of course, those who play the National Lottery:

Work on Grimsby docks, supported by a range of funding sources has led to a raft of improved buildings and new occupation, bringing the port to life with culture and craft as well as coffee and cake! Recipients of Heritage Fund money include the Peterson’s Project, with other funding from Historic England supporting projects throughout the Heritage Action Zone.

In Cleethorpes, a £1.9m NLHF supported programme is helping to restore historic balconies and shop fronts on the resort’s historic Alexandra Road. 

But it’s the heart of Grimsby that’s leading the transformation. More than £2m of Heritage Fund money is supporting the new Horizon OnSide Youth Zone project at West Haven Maltings, providing a place for young people in the borough to go, to learn and to play.

And Our Big Picture Limited was supported by Heritage Fund to acquire a Grade 2 listed building on Bethlehem Street. The organisation now has its own space to give North East Lincolnshire communities a chance to explore their heritage and culture.

But it’s not all about buildings!

North East Lincolnshire was selected for a grant as an ‘Area of Focus’ for The National Lottery Heritage Fund due to low heritage investment. This provided opportunity to work with more people across the borough.

The area was awarded £250,000 from the Heritage Fund to create a ‘Heritage Starter Fund’ and establish a Heritage Network. Working in partnership with Heritage Lincolnshire, the aim was to widen audiences for heritage and to ensure that heritage plays a key role in helping communities recover from the impacts of COVID19. 

As a result, new events, experiences and activities have been supported and grown from this seed corn investment – from the Grim Falfest for the last two Septembers, to sharing memories of Grimsby Town Football Club and protecting and enhancing iconic buildings like Weelsby Hall.

A programme aimed at cutting crime and anti-social behaviour on the East Marsh is celebrating a wave of success after a year of investment.

The Home Office-funded project has seen residents on the East Marsh benefit from free home security upgrades and initiatives to make their communities safer.

The Safer Streets project, led by North East Lincolnshire Council and the office of Humberside Police and Crime Commissioner, benefitted from £749,500 of Home Office funding.

As part of the project, local company Empower CIC have helped to distribute and install around 500 pieces of home security equipment, including outdoor security lights, alarms and window locks.

Bacon Engineering, another local firm, have repaired and replaced alleyway gates at 30 sites across the ward. Before this, clearance company Simply Refreshed removed almost 10-tonnes of waste and  12 bulky items from alleyways.

The project also saw the installation of 11 new CCTV cameras, connected to the Council’s wider network, and improved street lighting.

Councillor Ron Shepherd, portfolio holder for safer and stronger communities at North East Lincolnshire Council, said:

“This project has truly been a community-focussed, local project. Working with our partners, we identified a number of projects to help make this part of the East Marsh safer and more secure.

“By distributing proper home security upgrades to vulnerable people and families, we’ve helped to protect homes against intruders.

“By clearing alleyways and repairing or renewing gates, we’ve reduced the risk of fly-tipping and alleyway fires.

“By investing money into local projects and community groups, we’ve the community a chance to really flourish.

“I’m really pleased with the results and feel that there is a real sense of achievement following this project. Safer Streets has had a tremendous impact and I would like to congratulate all those involved.”

Police and Crime Commissioner Jonathan Evison said: “When I became Police and Crime Commissioner I set my office an ambitious target to generate investment in our area from central Government.

“Since then we have had four successful bids into the Home Office Safer Streets fund which have enabled positive interventions to be made in Scunthorpe, Beverley, Grimsby’s West Marsh and now this latest project in the East Marsh.

“I’m very pleased to see the difference Safer Streets is already making for local residents and improving the safety of their community.”

Neighbourhood Policing Inspector Matt Stringer said: “Alongside our partners, we are determined to really help the community in making the East Marsh an enjoyable place to live.

“The investment means we have been able to further listen to the concerns of local residents and as a result, have ramped up our efforts further in targeting those individuals’ intent on causing harm to the community.

“I would like to thank the community for their continued support as we continue to help the East Marsh thrive. 

“I would encourage anybody with information on suspicious or criminal activity to report it to us on our non-emergency number 101 or anonymously through the independent charity Crimestoppers.”

The project has been documented by Hammond House film company, with the footage expected the be published online in the coming weeks.

A campaign by North East Lincolnshire Council to rejuvenate buildings in Grimsby town centre continues to drive forward with improvements currently underway at several prominent properties.

Completed earlier in the year were the former My Oriental Fusion property, in Town Hall Street, and The Body Shop, My Cigara, Pizza Hut, TSB, and Nationwide Building Society in Victoria Street.  Problems identified prior to works included cracked or missing render, flaking paintwork, shrubs growing in brickwork, missing gutters and drainpipes and vegetation in the gutters and on the roof.

Started in October 2022, the property project has been focussed on the pedestrianised Victoria Street West area and surrounding streets.  Several unkempt properties were identified at the time, although most in the area only needed minor work to bring them up to standard.

Cllr Ron Shepherd, portfolio holder for Safer and Stronger Communities at North East Lincolnshire Council, commented:

“Not only do improvements like these make a positive difference for businesses, by allowing the potential for attracting new customers, they also instil a sense of pride in the wider community.

“Smarter areas also tend to enjoy higher property values, while run-down areas often become beacons for criminality and anti-social behaviour, therefore it is important we continue to strive for better buildings across the town centre.

“I’m grateful to all the property owners who are taking care of their buildings and making the town centre a more attractive place to work, visit and enjoy.”

It was hoped that the improvements to buildings earlier this year would encourage other property owners in the locale to do the same.  Work is currently being completed at the former House of Fraser store, the Post Office, Co-Op Travel, Specsavers, Top Nails and Grimsby Learning Centre.

All six buildings are undergoing work to check and remove debris from rainwater goods, such as gutters, and repairing, replacing, and repainting flaking or rotten exterior woodwork, while Co-Op Travel and Specsavers are having repairs made to defective render.  Grimsby Learning Centre will enjoy a spruce-up of the external woodwork with a fresh coat of paint whilst also cleaning up the exterior of the building. Top Nails have erected scaffolding which will see repairs to the guttering, painting external woodwork and general tidy up to the property. Repairs to the exterior of the former House of Fraser building include the gutters, woodwork, paintwork, windows, doors, tiles and signage.

The plan for the wider Grimsby town centre includes a multi-million-pound leisure scheme, to include a new cinema, market, housing development, youth facility, and revamped Riverhead.  These major refurbishments are all a part of plans to invigorate the area.

Property owners inside of this improvement zone are realising the potential these changes could bring.

The town centre project resembles an earlier scheme undertaken to improve the street scene on the A180, between Riby Square in Grimsby and Suggitt’s Lane in Cleethorpes.  Operation Gateway, as it was named, saw improvements carried out at 130 buildings in the target area.  These changes have made a big difference to the area and give a better impression of the town as visitors drive through to Cleethorpes for their summer holiday breaks.
