A much-loved local landmark is set for a fresh chapter as Waters’ Edge Country Park & Visitor Centre receives new investment to mark its 20th anniversary.

Celebrating two decades at the heart of Barton’s natural landscape, Waters’ Edge has become a free, family-friendly destination for outdoor discovery, with accessible trails, hands-on exhibits and space for people of all ages to enjoy nature together.

The investment will make Waters’ Edge more comfortable, more engaging and better for the environment.

Cllr Rob Waltham, leader, North Lincolnshire Council, said: “We are committed to investing in the places that matter most to our communities. By backing destinations like Waters’ Edge, we are supporting local pride, encouraging visitors and strengthening a tourism offer that is sustainable for the future.”

Visitors will see refreshed exhibition displays, more efficient heating to keep the building comfortable year-round, and renewed outdoor decking areas.

The improvements will roll out across the year, with work planned to keep disruption to a minimum. There may be some short-term changes to access at certain points.

Cllr Christine Patterson, cabinet member for healthy lives and places, said: “Waters’ Edge has been a much-loved place for people to enjoy nature, learn about the local environment and spend time together for 20 years. This investment will enhance the experience for visitors, improve comfort within the building and help ensure the centre remains welcoming and accessible for years to come.”

Work started recently with the removal of the existing decking around the centre as the first stage of the programme.

In April, new exhibition displays will be installed, offering refreshed content and an enhanced experience for visitors of all ages.

Across spring and summer, ground source heating will be introduced, improving energy efficiency, reducing environmental impact and supporting a more comfortable indoor environment year-round. Replacement decking will also be installed during this period, renewing key outdoor areas.

Pensioners across North Lincolnshire are being urged to act quickly, with just 1,000 free air fryers remaining under the council’s hugely popular energy-saving cooking scheme.

Around 15,000 residents have already benefited from free appliances designed to help people eat well while cutting household energy bills. But with stock limited, this is a last opportunity for eligible pensioners who have not yet applied.

Cllr Rob Waltham, leader of North Lincolnshire Council, said: “This scheme has already helped thousands of pensioners save money and stay healthy – and now we’re down to the final appliances.

“If you’re eligible and haven’t applied yet, don’t miss out. Once these are gone, they’re gone.”

Each eligible household can receive one energy-efficient cooking appliance, including an air fryer, along with access to free healthy cooking sessions to help people get the most out of it.

Cllr Tim Mitchell, cabinet member for sustainability and transformation, added: “We’re genuinely sorry that the scheme is now drawing to a close, because we know how much of a difference these appliances make to people’s everyday lives.

“The last thing we want is for pensioners who would really benefit to miss out simply because they didn’t realise time was running out.

“If you’re eligible and haven’t applied yet, please do so now – this support is there to be used.”

How to apply – before it’s too late

Pensioners can apply quickly and easily by:

• Completing the online application form, or
• Visiting a local community hub in Ashby, Barton, Brigg, Crowle, Epworth or Scunthorpe, where staff can help with registration.
• Contact your ward councillor for help and assistance to apply.

Appliances are available for collection from community hubs.
