I was out Sunday and it looked great - there was a hell of a lot of litter about though, especially in Queens Gardens. Incidentally, has anyone walked through Queen Gardens on an evening - it's not got a good atmosphere - loads of low life hanging around drinking.
I walked around Queens Gardens and litter wise it was OK, must have been cleaned up, saw one or two snorting kali or something similar looking in one corner, and Polish was the most language heard being spoken.
I was told that the old Lloyds bank on corner of George St and what used to be May Sum have both been bought up recently. Wonder what they'll be? That area has suffered recently but with Dram reopening the signs now are good.
Last year the HDM reported that the bank was to become a church. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Good news, the area is like a ghost town and has been for a while, Gough & Davy moved, even the specialist Hi-Fi shop near the Rugby pub left a long time ago, May Sum changed its name to Miss Muffett I think but still became empty, George St could do with some good news as well even if a long lost name is supposed to be returing in the future.

David Harrison @DaveHarrison43 Cllrs in #Hull have voted in favour of bringing in tighter advertising regulations, to help reduce what it's calling "advertising clutter". It's to stop all these things... please log in to view this image
Is that a problem? Surely with works going on outside businesses it's only fair they get to make it clear they're still open.
There's a set of four photos that Angus Young posted of these boards and there's no works going on in any of them and they do look a mess, I think it's a good idea that they're controlled. **** all point in spending £25m on a city centre refurb, then have shops sticking tatty boards up all over the place.

I don't see a problem with businesses advertising that they are open for trade. There's that many shops in Hull that are closed down.
They're not banned, they're just being controlled. Though there is a move to ban them in lots of places, particularly those where the look of the place is particularly important. There's a complete ban in York, Chester and Nottingham are about to follow suit, they're banned in certain parts of London as well, the West End has a complete ban and Hackney Council have also just banned them. Brighton is going even further, they're also banning For Sale signs in all conservation areas.
York and Chester fair enough, they get enough tourists anyway. I lived in Chester for a couple of years. If they were permanent signs there'd be justification for a ban or control. I think they are charmingly British and have no issue with them. Seems a bit petty. They'd be better off controlling the ****ers on skateboards that are going to ruin all the money invested in new street furniture doing all manner of tricks on them. These are a bigger issue - all over Humber Street, the amphitheatre and on the newly installed benches. They make a right mess of stuff.
Is it Victoria Square or Queen Victoria Square? I always called it the latter but dunno if it's right.
