Bridlington Renaissance

The visit will showcase the Renaissance Programme for Bridlington, one of RDA Yorkshire Forward's Yorkshire Renaissance Towns, which includes the magnificent £20m flagship project The Spa Bridlington. This is now the centerpiece of the town as a state of the art conference and events venue, supporting sustainable tourism for the local visitor economy; the complementary Spa Gardens project, links the Spa with the town centre and waterfront, and was recognised nationally through the £3million grant from the DCMS 'Sea Change' Programme (£6.7m total cost) opening in summer 2010; and the new seasonal park and ride facility on the south of the town, along with a range of other transport network improvements to ease seasonal traffic congestion, have been supported by £6million investment from the Department of Transport.

The 'Strategy for Regenerating Bridlington' was put in place in 2004 by East Riding of Yorkshire Council, with future flagship projects for town centre re-development and Marina facilities being progressed through an Area Action Plan for Bridlington Town Centre, as part of the LDF for the East Riding.

South Humber Bank Gateway and the Port of Immingham

The South Humber Bank Gateway fieldtrip will visit the largest employment site in the north of England and UK's last major undeveloped strategic site that fronts a deep water estuary. The Gateway hosts the largest refinery cluster in the UK (27% of UK total refinery capacity) and provides just less than 8% of the UK total energy output including the largest European Combined Heat and Power plant at ConocoPhillips. The Gateway is adjacent to Immingham, the busiest port in the UK, and the tour will show how these industries together with the estuary frontage are driving major renewable energy development and further ports growth to make the area the Global Gateway for the north of England.
