Grimsby locals shape £20m community vision

Grimsby has kickstarted a major community-led project aimed at transforming the town over the next decade. Under the banner of Grimsby Together, residents, artists, business leaders, and environmentalists gathered at the Town Hall to share ideas and ambitions for the future.

The initiative forms part of the government’s Plan for Neighbourhoods scheme, which replaced the Long-Term Plan for Towns last year. Grimsby is among 75 areas set to receive up to £20 million each over 10 years to fund projects chosen by the community.

The council will oversee the administration, with support from Our Future, a group dedicated to helping communities drive lasting change. The local plan is expected to be submitted in the coming months, with funding due to start next April if approved.

At the launch event, attendees discussed ways to revitalise Grimsby’s waterfront, connect green spaces, repurpose old buildings, and support renewable energy, cleaner air, and local food production. The focus remains on championing ideas created by locals to improve life for residents and visitors alike.
