The World Cup starts in Qatar this weekend
The Conservative-controlled North East Lincolnshire Council has talked up the prospects of the “long overdue” Riverhead Square regeneration project to make a difference to Grimsby town centre.
The project is one of North East Lincolnshire Council’s six Towns Fund schemes, totalling up to £20.9 million of government cash. “This is going to be a much more pleasant place in the town centre, a much greener place,” said Councillor Philip Jackson, council leader. He also said it was in line with public feedback to stay a public open space but also have the potential to host more public events, such as Grim Falfest, the Viking festival held in September.
Work already completed in the square and nearby has included new balustrade railings along the dock edge and the footbridge over the River Freshney linking Riverhead to Garth Lane. He suggested there had been “pushback” from Northern Power and council officials on the fountain. “It needs to be in by Christmas, we want to see that fountain there.”
