Scunthorpe has submitted its bid for UK Town of Culture 2028.

The bid is all about bringing energy back into everyday spaces, from high street units and parks to community led events and youth projects.

 

Local businesses should get behind this 👏 If successful, the bid could unlock up to £3m of investment, boosting footfall, creating opportunities, and bringing more activity into our high streets and communities.

 

We’ll be watching closely as the shortlist is announced in June. 👀
