Plans to redevelop area around town's dock

A report will look at ways of redeveloping brownfield sites in the area

Plans are to be drawn up to redevelop the area around a dock in Grimsby.
Brownfield sites near Alexandra Dock could be revamped after North East Lincolnshire Council's cabinet agreed to begin work on updating the town's masterplan to incorporate the site.
A report said that up to £500,000 was potentially available from central government towards the scheme, with the possibility of further funding.
A planning application for 123 homes in the area has recently been lodged.
According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, council leader Philip Jackson said: "Giving people reasons to visit, live in and enjoy our town centre means it must diversify and we are making great strides in doing just that.
"We must now continue on this transformation path and this is the next step that can be taken with the support of partners and those around us."
The existing masterplan was part-funded using £7.8m from the Government Towns Fund.
The money has been used on the Garth Lane bridge and re-designed walkways, and the upcoming OnSide Horizon Youth Zone.
