REPLACEMENT SEATING SHOULD REDUCE LITTER ACCUMULATION AT RIVERHEAD BUS STATION

Council is determined to keep Riverhead looking spick and span

REPLACEMENT seating is to be installed  at Grimsby's Riverhead bus station.

North East Lincolnshire Council says new stainless-steel seat covers will be installed to benches on stands C, D, E and F.

The authority maintains that these will act as a barrier to prevent rubbish and other debris from collecting in the slats in and around the bus shelters. 

Says an NELC spokesperson: "This will improve the area for passengers and improve the facilities for everyone who uses them. 

"While the works are underway, safety barriers will be in place to prevent injury to the public and staff."

Contractors Bacons Engineering will be on site from Thursday 16 June, and the works will take three days.

Meanwhile, members of the public are encouraged to do their bit by putting litter in bins.

Any unsafe waste should be reported to the council by calling (01472) 313131 and asking to speak to the Environmental Health team.
