Residents are being invited to help shape the future of Grimsby in the way they would like to see it going forwards. Our Future, a charity working to effect positive change in communities, has launched Grimsby Together, a project to build the vision for the town people want in ten years’ time, a vision that is built by the citizens right here in Grimsby. Working with North East Lincolnshire Council, Grimsby Town Football Club and many other partners, Our Future will develop a clear understanding of what the people of Grimsby want to see.
In the coming weeks, local residents will have the opportunity to take part in a mass online conversation, as well as events including history walks, writing workshops and a prioritisation event, which will help to develop a collective vision for the town. The online conversation is open until Sunday, June 9 and uses Polis, a mass online conversation tool which helps to find consensus across large groups of people.
