Campaigner: The building has to bring people in from outside the region

For the past two years the Great Grimsby Ice Factory Trust has been starting to look at ideas for bringing the old building back into use. The Chair of the group Vicky Hartung says they are considering different options before moving into producing more definite plans.

So far they have been working closely with the Prince's Regeneration Trust and other organisations such as the Architectural Heritage Fund and English Heritage. It is hoped that any new use will bring more people and investment to the town.
