Grimsby should have an attractive, flexible and vibrant space within the heart of the town centre. Riverhead Square provides the opportunity to redesign the existing space  to the highest quality and standards, encouraging people to use this new area and acting as a focal point for events and festivals. Many towns and cities can boast high quality public squares, in Grimsby we have the same ambition.

Riverhead Square has great potential with a central location and water which comes right into the heart of the town centre. This is a fantastic asset and much more can and should be made of it. The Riverhead itself is the original haven around which the town first began to grow so it also has plenty of history and is a natural place for the focus of town centre activity.

bus station relocation

There are opportunities to completely remodel and landscape the area making the most of the Riverhead itself. At the moment the Square is dominated by the bus station and the rest of the area suffers as a result. The ambition is to relocate the bus station freeing up the space to properly deliver the overall objectives and with quality landscaping and materials make a statement about what can be achieved in the town.
