Advance Humber Towns
Advance Humber Towns
The Advance Humber Towns programme will take the innovative principles of the Hull and East Riding Housing Market Renewal Pathfinder and use them to transform the housing market in the smaller towns of Crosby, Grimsby and Goole. Joining up with Yorkshire Forward and English Partnerships, this revitalisation will encourage economic growth and civic pride in all three towns.
The three Advance Humber Towns share issues of poor housing, poor standards of health and educational attainment, high crime rates and anti-social behaviour. With the help of Housing Board investment, this programme will transform the prospects of these areas by replacing obsolete housing with sustainable energy efficient homes and improving thermal comfort in the remaining properties.
Crosby is the area of Scunthorpe where the highest concentration of BME and new migrants has made their home, and is a real example of mixed communities.
In Grimsby, the area around the fish docks, and the town centre will be regenerated 'stitching' Grimsby together with a new heart of mixed use activities around new and existing traffic-calmed squares whilst taking advantage of waterside frontages for new development for housing and hotels.
The old shipbuilding seaport town of Goole will be revitalised by an integrated regeneration programme affecting 2700 homes. This will improve the quality and standard of housing and the wider environment in a way that complements emerging economic opportunities in the town.
