About

West Marsh is an urban ward situated directly across the River Freshney from Grimsby town centre. The area is primarily residential, characterised by terraced housing and low-rise flats.

The ward contains several small local shops and takeaways catering to residents, alongside community facilities like the Nunsthorpe and Grange Children’s Centre.
