The transformation of Grimsby town centre is continuing as work starts next week (11 August) to clear a site on Osborne Street.
The plan is to use the 1.6 acre site to deliver a transport hub which connects with the railway station, encouraging public transport use and supporting the wider Grimsby Town Centre regeneration ambitions.
Stage one of the work will see the demolition of the existing units between Rejuvadent and Racks, alongside ground clearance. This stage will take approximately eight weeks to complete.
The old units will be taken down piece by piece, in a similar way to the work at Freshney Place. This will be done by contractors, UDCS Demolition Ltd from the car park side of the building.
Hoardings will be put up alongside the main road while the demolition is happening, and also at the rear of the unit in Garden Street Car Park. This will take out a section of the car park while the work is on the ground.
The businesses on Osborne St will all be open as usual during the works.
Once the demolition is complete, the hoardings will be moved back towards the old building line and the pathway re-opened.
The project will then move into the design stage, which will include consultation with stakeholders and the wider public. As part of this process, an initial public survey has been launched to gather views on the importance of various facilities that could be included in the proposed transport hub.
