How your Council Tax is spent

The Town Council has continued to provide high quality services throughout Immingham despite the rising costs that we have all faced this past year.

We continue to look at improving services and the environment for our residents and visitors. We have taken over responsibility for Spring Street Fields from North East Lincolnshire Council and our working with partners to bring a new playground to the site. We are working on getting the responsibility for Roval Drive play area and playing fields, and in the meantime, we have resurfaced the car park. We are working hard to get the Post Office back up and running as many people do not have access to banking services.

The Council has tried to keep its precept as low as possible but increasing costs means that there has to be an increase.

Our “Community Hub”, at the Civic Centre, brings various services under one roof such as NELC Customer Services, Lincolnshire Housing Partnership, Lincs Inspire Library, Care, the DWP (Job Centre), Grimsby Institute, Humberside Police and Immingham Museum. The Civic Centre also acts as a focal point for many community activities and events throughout the year.

The Town Council will continue to work hard with partners and volunteers on the issues that affect Immingham and facilitate more new services such as Pilgrim Sheds, R-evolution, Angle for the Community and Andy’s Man Club, that started last year.

New opportunities are being explored for the Town which we hope to progress this coming year for you.
