Public Libraries: Grimsby
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what discussions his Department has had with North East Lincolnshire Council on the closure of Grimsby Central Library.
Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh
My Department has held no specific discussions with North East Lincolnshire Council regarding the closure of Grimsby Central Library.
In November 2024, the Department agreed a project adjustment request to Grimsby’s Town Deal for the diversion of £3.7m of funding between the Green Energy Hub Project to be located within Grimsby’s central library, and the Freshney Place development. This request was supported by the Council and a quorum of the Towns Fund Board.
