A major clean-up has begun of five Grimsby grot spots which were nominated by members of the public and two of them are in the East Marsh Ward, and according to today’s Telegraph they are beginning “to sparkle once more”

Three tonnes of rubbish have already been removed from five sites across the town, which are being transformed by offenders on the Community Payback scheme.Earlier this year, thousands of North East Lincolnshire residents voted for which area of the five they wanted to be cleaned up first, with disused land behind the Boyes car park, off Wellington Street, topping the vote.

However, work in that area has been stalled – so cleaning up the next most popular choice, the Railway Street Bridge, has been completed first instead.Just a few months ago, the bridge was notoriously dirty – covered in graffiti and strewn with litter.However, after 47 hours of work, it has been painted and polished, and a quarter of a tonne of rubbish has been removed.

North East Lincolnshire Council’s neighbourhood crime and justice co-ordinator, Marcus Czarnecki, said: “The scheme is all about getting criminals to pay back into their communities. So far, the project is going really, really well.”Our region is one of 54 locations in the country chosen to pilot the project, which is part of the Home Office’s Justice Seen, Justice Done campaign.
