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’.
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.
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)
