Town Deal & Grimsby Regeneration

Town Deal

Grimsby was the first Town Deal to be announced in the UK.. I have continued to lobbying for the town in Parliament to ensure Grimsby's priorities are understood in Westminster. I am working alongside North East Lincolnshire Council, the Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership )LEP) and the Greater Grimsby Regeneration Board to assist in the development of Grimsby.

The aim of the Government's 'Towns Fund' is to 'level up' towns by allowing the sustainable regeneration of targeted areas. Being a part of this fund has allowed Grimsby to apply for and successfully received a wide range of funds.
