Up to 60 homes in Grimsby’s East Marsh area will undergo renovations to improve insulation and energy efficiency. North East Lincolnshire Council will retrofit properties on Rutland Street using £3.1 million in government funding awarded last summer.
Approved by the council’s cabinet, the project will be delivered in partnership with community groups, including East Marsh United. The council selected Rutland Street following a borough-wide assessment and may seek additional funding to enhance surrounding areas with fencing and greenery.
A similar regeneration effort took place in Guildford Street in 2017. The council says the upgrades will enhance safety, reduce anti-social behaviour, and improve public health by addressing housing conditions and energy costs.
