Off Topic Hull City Centre Public Realm Strategy

What complete bollox that is

 

Tickles would have been over the moon

 

What an odd place for it to move.

 

I think it was a cafe/restaurant at one point a while back.

 

I'd say not underwhelming, more like sad, disappointing, .....

 

Really? What's not to like? Total eyesore before. Now looks great (but not so great when January comes around obviously). Well done HCC.

 

Some expert said not enough car parking. He's right.

 

Yes he said the big shops don't want that. They want ground level parking outside their shops. A multi story there would get filled up with office workers parking for work, not shoppers.

 

Least the Allams aren’t involved. They’d say it’s be a terrorist threat and start building a big gate.

 

And how much would it be at kingswood?

 

Kingswood is free for three hours I think. At least, I think that’s what Asda’s policy is.

 

The thing that puzzles me with all these squables is that we are told, quite often, that due to internet shopping, city/town centre's are dying with shops closing down and here we have yet more plans for more shops to go with other developements suggested. Princes Quay 2? and I think that even St Stephens are on about a refurbish in the not too distant future. Not sure how all this came about, Kingswood, the shopping centres at Willerby, Anlaby, none in Hessle although Sainsburys and Homebase are not too far away, not to mention Beverley, all have sprung up over recent years and still yet more shops planned, like I say I don't get it.

 

There's your answer. Multi story car parks are not popular, especially with women.

 

Sounds like Prinny Quay. Something like £2 between 0930 and 1530 and expensive before and after.
