We are also investing and encouraging investment in Scunthorpe Town Centre to attract more people into the town, encourage business growth and jobs.
“The Positive Steps Activity Day is set to be Scunthorpe’s biggest event and we want young people, their families and friends to help make it a success. There are lots of things happening on the day to suit all tastes and ages.
