Following the temporary closure of the Grimsby Central Library building due to a water leak creating a risk of asbestos disturbance, further assessments and necessary removal now needs to take place.

 

As reported, to protect the history collection and books, they are being removed and stored in council buildings elsewhere.

 

To ensure the safe removal from the building and loading of vehicles, a temporary road closure is required on New Street. This will allow the road to be closed off intermittently for approximately three weeks allowing specialist contractors to work in sealed areas of the building, packing up and loading the vast collections of materials.

 

Blue badge parking on the street will be unavailable during the periods of closure, with signage put up. 

 

Contractors will ensure to move as quickly as possible and apologise for the inconvenience.
