Grimsby has been held up as an example of how the right investment in a town can stop the brain drain.
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer joined his Shadow Secretary for Levelling Up, Lisa Nandy, as she made her first pledge in the role - aiming to ensure young people don’t have to “get out to get on”.
They joined business and community leaders to hear of the successes and challenges faced by the town, after Ms Nandy toured Orsted’s £14 million East Coast Hub - home to 400 green energy workers.
