Grimsby organisations invited to help shape town's future at event

On Monday 30 June, the Grimsby Together project officially relaunches, bringing together community leaders, local organisations and people already working to build a thriving future for the town to help shape how the Plan for Neighbourhoods investment is used.

The money was secured for Grimsby earlier this year, following the Government’s rescoping of the Long-Term Plan for Towns. 

Under the new Plan for Neighbourhoods scheme, the Government has asked successful areas to work with citizens to ensure that ‘together’ we decide where the funds should be spent.

Our Future, has worked extensively with North East Lincolnshire communities, and is leading the next stage of its ‘Grimsby Together’ work

Our Future is asking those Grimsby people who are involved in any way in making their town a better place to join Monday’s launch, at Grimsby Town Hall, to hear more about the funding, how the project will work, and how they can play their part.

Those who have previously been involved in the project have been invited and Our Future is keen to see new voices contribute to the plan too. 

North East Lincolnshire Council Leader, Cllr Philip Jackson, said: “This is about all the people of Grimsby and how they can work together to look at what is happening around the town and who and where would most benefit from funding – whether it is supporting an existing scheme or project, or a completely new idea. We are delighted that the Our Future team has come on board again and look forward to seeing some really good schemes come forward.”
