Restored historic shopfronts and quality residential units have been unveiled in Gainsborough’s town centre.
West Lindsey District Council leaders celebrated the transformation of several properties in the town with a tour.
The Townscape Heritage Initiative, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and The Government’s Levelling Up Fund, has supported the reinstatement of historic shopfronts, attracting businesses to relocate to the historic heart of Gainsborough.
It has also led to the creation of much-needed housing with residential units being created above the shops, many of which have already been let.
Property investors and business owners were proud to showcase their work to council leaders and talk about why they have invested in Gainsborough town centre.
Cllr Trevor Young, Leader of the Council, said: “I am proud to see the transformation in Gainsborough and how both local businesses and investors are contributing to the development of our town.
“The quality of work, both inside and out, is simply stunning and it is incredible to see people from outside the area are seeing the potential of the town and investing in Gainsborough. It is a town steeped in history, so to see the heritage of these buildings combined with modern infrastructure is really special.”
