| Enhancement at Alexandra Road - works have been proceeding |
In
response to the coronavirus situation, most - but not all -projects have been
put on hold.
The
emergency has also caused a shortage of materials, with suppliers closing and
sub-contractors downing tools.
However,
some essential finishing-off and safety work has been taking place.
NELC has
issued an update on those project being managed by Engie, its
regeneration partner.
Grimsby:
Garth Lane
The main
construction phase of this £1.5m project to recreate the central town area was
due to start on Monday, March 30. This project has been delayed until further
notice to investigate the most appropriate way forward.
Grimsby:
St James’ Square
Work
scheduled to start in mid-April is on hold. The area is due to be
remodelled with new planting schemes, signage and furniture to create a
family-friendly public space that can accommodate outdoor events
Cleethorpes:

The
demolition of the former entertainment venue and adjacent boat house was due to
start last week but has been postponed until further notice. In the meantime,
the planning application for the replacement multi-purpose building has been
submitted and is due to be determined at the next planning committee meeting.

Grimsby:
B1444 junction improvements (Little Coates Road/ Cambridge Road)
The scheme
has been temporarily stood down due to the contractors being unable to source
materials and a low staffing resource.
Where
necessary, Engie has been carrying out daily inspections to ensure that
safe working practices are being carried out on site, including the additional
measures introduced as a result of the pandemic.
NELC's
leader, Cllr Philip Jackson, wants work on projects to continue where
practicable and safe so to do.
Says he:
“We are all determined to complete these projects which are vital to the future
of North East Lincolnshire.
"I
want work to progress as quickly as possible where this is practicable and
safe.
"Government
guidance is clear - there is no requirement to halt construction
projects.
"However,
where on-site work may have to be suspended, there is much our teams can be
doing behind the scenes to ensure we are fully prepared once we are able to
resume."
