Nick Clegg has today visited Grimsby in North East Lincolnshire to meet Cllrs. Andrew De Freitas (the Leader of the Council); Steve Beasant; Steve Hocknell and Tony McCabe. The purpose of his visit was part of his UK tour to launch the Policy Paper “Energy Independence for the UK”; we were naturally pleased that he landed in Grimsby after visiting an offshore energy farm.

This the second visit of the Liberal Democrat Leader to Grimsby.  e visited just before the local elections and we also had the pleasure of meeting him when North East Lincolnshire Liberal Democrat Group won the LGA Group of the Year, the Social Care Group of the Year and the Award for tackling Anti-Social Behaviour
