Investing in the future

Teams from across all councils are already collaborating to ensure the Greater Lincolnshire CCA can make the best decisions for residents and communities in areas such as transport, new homes, business support, new jobs, economic growth and skills.

Money is already being invested. A capital funding pot of £28m is already having in impact in communities across Lincolnshire with projects already delivering:

• Flood prevention works protecting homes and businesses in the Bain Valley – a strategically important location supporting tourism and agriculture.
• A complete rebuild of five-and-a-half miles of Old Roman Bank from the A52 at Sandilands to the North Sea Observatory in Chapel St Leonards creating even better access for tens of thousands of visitors.
• A grant programme within the UK Food Valley ensuring colleges and university support food business access the skills they need now and into the future.
• Cash to drive forward the next phase of development at the 37-acre low carbon business park at Sleaford Moor to attract new business and create space for existing businesses to grow.
• £1.9m to drive forwards the development of a new Transport Hub in Grimsby town centre.
• Cash to fast-track the development of the £50m Freshney Place Market Hall and leisure scheme in Grimsby.
• Essential enabling works setting the stage for thriving new communities to live in new homes in a number of sites across Barton-upon-Humber, Brigg and Scunthorpe.
