The leader of North East Lincolnshire Council has welcomed an £8m boost to help repair vital bridges connecting Grimsby and Immingham.

Levelling up secretary Greg Clark yesterday confirmed the funding, which will be used to fix damaged bridges along the A180 – a vital route that connects the region’s key ports, serves residents and tourists and provides an estimated £2.5bn to the local economy’s Seafood Cluster each year.

Mr Clark said: ‘The funding we are announcing today will provide a vital lifeline for Grimsby’s industry now and in the future and I am looking forward to seeing how our investment is helping local communities to flourish and further unlock the area’s potential.’

The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities’ (DLUHC) arm’s length body, Homes England, is also assisting North East Lincolnshire Council to develop plans to revitalise the town centre, including for the 129 homes on Garth Lane.

Cllr Philip Jackson, the leader of North East Lincolnshire Council, said: ‘I am delighted that our collaboration with government on the levelling up agenda is bearing fruit.

‘The key infrastructure investment announced today, as well as our work with Homes England, focused on Garth Lane and wider town centre regeneration, are essential elements of our drive to deliver sustainable local economic growth for our residents, our communities and our businesses. I look forward to our collaboration with Government continuing.’
