New town square to get further building work

Further work is to be carried out on a town centre square in Grimsby.

Riverhead Square has been transformed as part of a £21m project to revamp the town, with funding coming from the government.

North East Lincolnshire Council said the space had been well used since it was completed last year, but "some minor works were left outstanding".

Northern Power Grid is to spend five weeks upgrading power cables in the area.

A council spokesperson said work was also needed to replace and bond in stones that had been damaged during anti-social behaviour.

The Riverhead Square renovation was completed last year and has been used for Christmas and food events.

In total, the works will take nine weeks, with some disruption on site, the spokesperson added.

Once completed, stallholders will be able to connect directly to power outlets rather than using generators.
