RESIDENTS GET A NEW SAY ON THE REGENERATION OF THE EAST MARSH
THE call has gone out for residents of Guildford Street and the East Marsh to have their say over its future development - by attending an event on Tuesday, March 31.
North East Lincolnshire Council and community group East Marsh Involve will co-host the consultation event at the Grimsby Neighbourhood Centre, at the corner of Wellington Street and Weelsby Street, between 4pm and 7pm.
Residents will be able to meet their local councillors, members of the East Marsh project team and representatives from Halcrow, who are putting together a development brief for the area.
The development brief will consult residents on what they want to see in the area, set to undergo a 10-year transformation worth nearly £8m.
The first phase of the work involves substantial work on Guildford Street which will see properties renovated or removed.
Madeleine Bell, the council's deputy director for strategic housing, said: "The residents of the East Marsh are the main players in this exciting regeneration opportunity. We want them to decide what the area should look like in the future.
"With this in mind, I would urge them to attend the consultation event to find out more about the opportunities available as the development brief moves forward."
