EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT EAST MARSH INVOLVE: EVEN THE BBC!

Next Tuesday (July 28), East Marsh Involve will meet at the Grimsby Neighbourhood Centre at 6pm – all residents are welcome to attend.

North East Lincolnshire Council’s Communication Team have prepared the following press release which will hopefully appear in the local media, so hopefully East Marsh Involve will be a well attended meeting – look forward to seeing you there:

East Marsh residents are being invited to a meeting about regeneration plans in the area.

The meeting to discuss plans to regenerate Guildford Street and the surrounding area has been called by East Marsh Involve, an action group set up to inform residents.

Speaking at the meeting will be the council’s executive director of regeneration Marc Cole and

Councillor Steve Beasant, portfolio holder for community safety and public protection.

The meeting, which will be held at the Grimsby Neighbourhood Centre, Wellington Street, next Tuesday at 6pm, will give an update on an earlier consultation event held to discuss plans for the area.

Residents will have an opportunity to have their say on what they want to see in the area, which is 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.

For more information contact Councillor Steve Beasant on (01472) 314183.

I am pleased that media release appears to be working; we have already made it onto the BBC website with the article below:
