The demolition work at Osborne Street in Grimsby has reached the half way point, with the fronts of the buildings being taken down this week.

 

This means that for the first time in more than 50 years, you’ll be able to see from Osborne Street right through to the railway line behind Abbey Walk.

 

 

The old units are being taken down piece by piece, in a similar way to the work at Freshney Place, and the plan is ultimately to use this 1.6 acre site to deliver a potential transport hub which connects with the railway station, encouraging public transport use and supporting the wider Grimsby Town Centre regeneration ambitions.

 

 

The remainder of the frontage of the buildings will be removed over the next week or so, which will be followed by sorting of materials into recyclables, and removing the rubble and steel off site. The demolition work is due to be complete in October.

The businesses on Osborne St (Sage, Rejuvadent and Racks) are all be open as usual during the works.

After demolition, the project will then move into the design stage, which will include consultation with stakeholders and the wider public. As part of this process, an initial public survey remains open to gather views on the importance of various facilities that could be included in the proposed transport hub.

This stage of the project is being funded by Greater Lincolnshire Combined Authority.
