South Humber Bank Partnership
Over the last 8 years we have played a pivotal role in working with the South Humber Bank Partnership which has spearheaded a £30 million regeneration scheme to transform the south bank of the Humber Estuary, around Barton upon Humber.
The Partnership was awarded the 2007 British Urban Regeneration Association (BURA) Award for Best Practice in Regeneration. The BURA awards recognise projects that have led the way in achieving long-term environmental, economic and social benefits in urban areas of need, and engaged local people and businesses in the sustained regeneration of their communities.
Partners include North Lincolnshire Council, the Environment Agency, Natural England, Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust, English Heritage, Queen St School Preservation Trust and The Waterside Artists’ Co-operative.
Maslen Environmental has worked with partners to deliver and secure funding for the following projects:-
Waters' Edge
The reclamation of one of the most contaminated sites in the north of England into the Waters’ Edge Country Park with a visitor and business centre recognised as one of the UK’s ‘greenest’ buildings, which has recorded more than 250,000 visitors. The Centre is now the hub of the Humber Wildlife Surveillance Network.
