Should North East Lincolnshire Council build and run extra care housing on the former Western Secondary School site?

Yes 33%No 67%15 votes cast

North East Lincolnshire Council plans to procure one provider to design, build and manage an extra care housing facility at the former Western Secondary School site on Cambridge Road, Grimsby. The contract would also cover on-site support and care services. A Preliminary Market Engagement notice has been issued to test supplier interest before any formal tender.

NO carried the day on the former Western Secondary School question, taking 10 of the 15 votes cast to YES's 5 — a 34-point margin that, while decisive in proportion, rests on a genuinely small chamber of Grimsby and Cleethorpes residents.

With no age, gender or ward breakdown available, there is no fracture to point to here beyond the raw tally itself: this was a straightforward two-to-one rejection, not a knife-edge, and not a result muddied by a large bloc voting the other way.

It sits in the familiar furrow of local planning disputes over what to do with disused school sites — care housing schemes of this kind often run into resistance less over the principle of provision for the elderly than over the specifics of site, scale and who ultimately profits from the contract, and North East Lincolnshire's preliminary market engagement now proceeds against a backdrop of local scepticism rather than endorsement.

Fifteen votes will not settle a procurement process, but they leave the council with a clear steer that it did not ask for.
