Investment and regeneration

Building our future

Our ambition is to create space for people and businesses to grow and thrive, creating stronger communities and a stronger economy. We look ahead to the future through our Council Plan, our Economic Strategy, and our local Masterplans for Grimsby and Cleethorpes, created with input from local people and businesses.

By investing in our future, creating new public spaces for people to enjoy being in, building houses that people want to live in, creating space for businesses, creating places for our young people to meet, and by developing our highway and transport infrastructure, we will help our community to grow.

Having fun and living healthy, happy and fulfilled lives. This is what we want for our residents and our aim is to grow North East Lincolnshire as a healthier place where activity becomes ‘the norm’. Working with national and local organisations, we will help develop North East Lincolnshire’s places to promote sport and cultural activities.

We know Cleethorpes has it all – a great beach, wonderful views, good shops and cafes and, importantly, lots of visitors. These visits boost our economy and bring with them thousands of job opportunities for local people. We will continue to support development that offers great leisure and entertainment.

These are the major projects that are happening around the borough, some led by us, some by our partners. In the next few years, there will be significant changes across Grimsby and Cleethorpes and as projects develop, you can follow their progress on the relevant pages.

We want to:

Make sure that our Grimsby Town Centre and Cleethorpes regeneration schemes attract more visitors and local people to our towns.
Look at how our ‘place’ can change to encourage all local people to enjoy activity. We know that some of our communities need support, and we are working with partners in health, and with community organisations and schools, to offer that – and to explore how we use our buildings and open spaces.
Do more work with national organisations such as the Football Foundation, Sport England and its Place Partnership, and the Lawn Tennis Association. Clee Fields and the new tennis courts at Sussex and Barrett’s Recreation Grounds, and Haverstoe Park, are great examples of what we’ve done so far (see the Keeping Active section below)
