Will Grimsby's revamp of Riverhead Square be ready in time for public celebration of Charles' Coronation?

                                                           

Green and leafy - more trees, shrubs and flowers  in prospect for town centre square

SCREENING of the Coronation on May 6 could be on the agenda for Grimsby's Riverhead Square - so long as its proposed makeover has been completed in time. 

The plan is for the square to host live broadcasts of national events, such as Royal occasions and major sports tournaments, plus regular concerts, markets and festivals.

Following a public consultation, more trees and shrubs are to be installed than was originally proposed.

This is in order to create a softer more welcoming environment.

According to a North East Lincolnshire Council report, there will be 65 per cent hard landscaping and 35 per cent green landscaping.

Work is due to start on the project early in the New Year.
