Greener, cleaner Grimsby

08 March 2010

Environmental campaign group Keep Britain Tidy has handed Shoreline one of its quality marks in recognition of the improvements being made to the Nunsthorpe neighbourhood.

The Cleaner Safer Greener Quality Mark was awarded at initiator level after an independent assessment of the work undertaken by ourselves, our partners and residents.Greener Grimsby

While the physical environment was important, they also looked at how we worked with residents and our partners to improve community relations, reduce anti-social behaviour and create a better place to live and work.

Shoreline officer Andrew Eayres said: “Residents are feeling the benefits of the improvements which have been made and it is really satisfying to receive national recognition.

“There is still a lot to do but we’re heading in the right direction.”

In its assessment, the Tidy Britain Group pinpointed numerous strengths.

“There is a strong commitment to deliver high quality services for the Nunsthorpe area and Shoreline has a clear view of its own areas for improvement and its aspirations.

“Residents were very positive about the difference that Shoreline has made since taking over the properties in the area and that it encourages residents to participate.

“The multi-agency holistic approach is ensuring a high level of cooperation and understanding in delivering a cleaner, safer, greener environment,” the assessment added.
