Plans to redevelop area around town's dock
Plans are to be drawn up to redevelop the area around a dock in Grimsby.
Brownfield sites near Alexandra Dock could be revamped after North East Lincolnshire Council's cabinet agreed to begin work on updating the town's masterplan to incorporate the site.
A report said that up to £500,000 was potentially available from central government towards the scheme, with the possibility of further funding.
A planning application for 123 homes in the area has recently been lodged.
According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, council leader Philip Jackson said: "Giving people reasons to visit, live in and enjoy our town centre means it must diversify and we are making great strides in doing just that.
"We must now continue on this transformation path and this is the next step that can be taken with the support of partners and those around us."
The existing masterplan was part-funded using £7.8m from the Government Towns Fund.
The money has been used on the Garth Lane bridge and re-designed walkways, and the upcoming OnSide Horizon Youth Zone.

Economists Raise Questions About Quality of U.S. Inflation Data
Some economists are beginning to question the accuracy of recent U.S. inflation data after the federal government said staffing shortages hampered its ability to conduct a massive monthly survey. The Bureau of Labor Statistics, the office that publishes the inflation rate, told outside economists this week that a hiring freeze at the agency was forcing the survey to cut back on the number of businesses where it checks prices. In last month's inflation report, which examined prices in April, government statisticians had to use a less precise method for guessing price changes more extensively than they did in the past.
