Urban Renaissance Management Team

The council is committed to delivering an Urban Renaissance in Scunthorpe by helping to reposition the town over the next 20 years and enabling it to become an effective economic driver for North Lincolnshire.

The Urban Renaissance Management Team consists of the Area Renaissance Manager and Urban Renaissance Administrator. Based at Church Square House in Scunthorpe the team provides the secretariat for the Town Team and manages the delivery of the renaissance programme. The team coordinates project activities and acts as the conduit between the:

• Scunthorpe Town Team
• Urban Renaissance Board
• North Lincolnshire Strategic Partnership
• Yorkshire Forward Renaissance Manager

This is to ensure that the programme is on schedule to achieve its aims and objectives and that the projects deliver within contract requirements.

Fundamentally the Urban Renaissance is about trying to make the town more successful and more competitive.
