Evidently, not much local news or reporters in Grimsby at the moment, so they are resorting to such page-fillers.
Regional titles have always carried a few pages of national news. Most parts of the country just don’t generate enough news to fill the pages 5 or 6 nights a week. In this case the piece is bylined to a “network content editor”, who seemingly produces national copy for all of Reach’s regional titles.

Reach, incidentally, is the publisher formerly known as Trinity Mirror, which (aside from being my former employer) also owns the Daily Mirror.
