I was born and raised in Grimsby. I left ten years ago, I was shocked how awful it is now. Why would this regeneration save a dying high street? The high street is dead, it's time to look at turning town centres into desirable housing developments. It's like sticking a plaster on a shot gun wound.
Don't agree. There are more than enough empty houses in Grimsby without building more stock replacing shopping areas. Building more housing estates with no facilities will just create more anti social activity and yes I do live in Grimsby
@davidmyers5545 I absolutely agree there's a large amount of empty houses in the area. My point was that the high street as we knew it, is dead. So for future generations, and to avoid building on green belt land, would be to re-imagine the high street and build housing that people want in it's place. It's a ridiculous waste of money this regeneration scheme, it could be spent elsewhere, on housing perhaps. Last time I visited Grimsby Victoria Street, on a Saturday afternoon, it was dead. So is this scheme going to suddenly change things? Nope.
Like the look of the youth zone.

And why does everything have to be a bloody hub!

Oh, and spend some money removing plants from the roof of McDonald's!
This whole little skit is a joke.
