Having Your Say

Getting Involved North East Lincolnshire Council have produced a leaflet about how young people can get involved in making decisions.   Click here to open it

No matter what your age Shoreline would like to hear what you’ve got to say about the area you live in.

If you have any concerns, ideas or suggestions then please let us know – the pupils of the Grange Junior School really made a difference to their community by taking part in a poster competition to highlight the problems facing the Grange and Crowland estate.

Shoreline asked the pupils what issues and problems they felt were facing the Grange and Crowland when consultations took place at their school.

The results of the consultations will help to form the basis of the Neighbourhood Investment Plan for the area, which will list the priorities for which projects cash should be spent on.

The pupils came up with their own ideas for where money should be spent and they were then asked to design posters illustrating the before and after of specific areas or particular issues they would like to see solved.

Shoreline Chief Executive Tony Bramley, Lynn Moore from the DN34 Community Centre and Shoreline Board members Peggy Cadwallader and David Robinson, chose winners from each school year.

The winning entries were Jordan Ashworth (year three), Natalie Kershaw (year four), Daniel Jackson (year five) and joint winners Brooke Robinson and Kerri Gaifer (year six) who will each receive £25 of Freshney Place vouchers as their prize.

Claire Tunstall, of Shoreline’s regeneration team said: “We recognised that there was a need to consult with young people.

“Young people are a major part of the community and anything that we invest in will have an effect on them at some point in their lives.

“The aim of the poster competition was to get the pupil’s views of the Grange and Crowland, what they would like to see or what the main issues are. The issues were well represented in the posters and these will be fed into Shoreline’s Neighbourhood Investment Plan.”

The winners were presented with prizes at a school assembly.
