Immingham and Habrough will receive up to £20 million over the next decade through the government’s £5 billion Pride in Place programme, designed to support 264 neighbourhoods across the UK. North East Lincolnshire Council will receive £2 million annually for ten years, alongside an immediate £1.5 million to improve public spaces, including new green areas, play facilities, and leisure upgrades.
Council leader Philip Jackson said: “This is great news and we warmly welcome this funding as we look to deliver our ambition across North East Lincolnshire of building a stronger economy and stronger communities with the help of those who live and work in it.”
The investment will build on regeneration already underway in the borough, with residents consulted to help identify priorities for how the money should be spent. Immingham Town Council is finalising its town plan, which will play a role in guiding future investment.
