New Street will be closed intermittently while the collection at Grimsby Central Library is removed

A road will be closed intermittently over the next three weeks while a North East Lincolnshire library's collection is removed following a water leak.

New Street will be shut to allow the books to be removed from Grimsby Central Library.

The 1960s building has been closed since 28 March after the leak was found and will remain shut for "some time" while asbestos is removed, North East Lincolnshire Council said.

The council is looking for an alternative temporary town centre location for the library.

Blue badge parking in New Street will be unavailable when the road is closed, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.

"Contractors will ensure to move as quickly as possible and [we] apologise for the inconvenience," the council said.
