The High Street Revival Scheme has set out to rejuvenate vacant high street properties in Grimsby. This project, unveiled by North East Lincolnshire Council in conjunction with local businesses, will provide financial backing to fresh tenants hoping to breathe life into retail buildings. The council aims to replicate the achievements of previous initiatives including ‘living walls’ and an advanced speaker system to curb antisocial behaviour. The current objective is to reduce the number of empty shops. Council leader Philip Jackson shares a hopeful outlook, stating, “The work conducted thus far has started making a positive impact on the ambiance of the town centre and our next target is to decrease the number of vacant properties on the high street.”
