Initial works at Grimsby Central Library start this week

10:38 am, Monday, 8th June 2026 - 3 months ago

Works have started today (Monday 8 June) at Grimsby Central Library building.

Local company ABM Roofing will be doing the initial preventative works to stop water entering the building from the roofs, so that the main works to remove asbestos from the building can be started later this year.

Scaffolding will be put up on the pavement next to the rear loading doors of the building to allow the contractors to access the roof areas. This will be protected by hoarding. There will be pavement diversions, but road closures are not anticipated at this time.

The works will take approximately six weeks, with work happening on week days between approximately 8am to 4pm. There should not be any significant noise.

Cabinet approved the main asbestos works earlier this year. An open tender has been released for this, and will be awarded later this year.
