A new 350-space multi-storey car park is set to be built in Hull's Fruit Market. Subject to planning approval, it will form part of a wider development scheme including a new headquarters for Hull-based safety equipment specialists Arco. The city council is buying the site of the company's current HQ in Waverley Street to create a construction compound to be used by Highways England contractors during the £400m Castle Street improvement scheme. Next week cabinet councilors will be asked to approve a £3.2m loan to the partnership behind the Fruit Market regeneration programme to help fund the building of the car park. The idea is to provide dedicated parking spaces for Arco staff and other businesses in the area. There will also be 50 public spaces available at all times and over 200 at weekends.

The Caribbean ' Kingston Town' restaurant recently closed in the Weir and is just about to re open as 'The Greek' ( same company from Princess Avenue ). It's the new Beverley
Kingston House was only there a matter of months, it was East Riding Rooms for years before that. Restaurants seem to change all the time down there, but the shops don't change much.
There's a good one through one of the alleys on Whitefriargate - 'Jade' something or other, good selection of teas too. Edit - Liquid Jade; Google is my friend
