Plans for the transformation of Grimsby’s Riverhead Square in the town centre, next to the troubled Freshney Place shopping centre, will go before councillors at the Cabinet meeting next week.
The new design for the area, drawn up by Arup Landscape Design, incorporate input from local people through public consultation and, if approved, will be funded as one of the projects included in the Town Deal, with funding that was secured in 2020 and ring fenced for specific projects.
Public sentiment seems to point to “more green spaces and places to relax” and “social space around the water” and these comments helped create the vision for the revamped public area.
Councillors will consider the plans at next weeks cabinet meeting.
