    It'll create 40 jobs and be used to make raw materials needed in things like laminated windscreens and toughened glass.

    Those behind the plans say it's great news for manufacturing in the region.

    I'm pleased to see the development happening but a tad underwhelmed by the architecture. It would be good to see the planners pushing for some high-quality innovative plans for buildings in that area. They are running the risk of just turning it into another bland area of the City centre.

    Hull to bid for millions in high street funding from Government

    A group has been set up to target millions of pounds of Government high street funding for Hull – and is readying its first bid.

    The City Centre Future Visioning Group, set up by Hull City Council and made up of city’s private businesses, stakeholders and partners, met today at The Guildhall.

    The group will lead a push to revive the city centre – starting with a bid this month for more than £10 million from the Government’s £675 million Future High Streets Fund.

    It includes big plans for Whitefriargate, the city’s historic shopping street, which is the local authority’s next major regeneration project and a key pedestrian route between Hull’s Old Town and city centre

    A successful bid would see funding spent on ensuring ground-floor shop frontage in Whitefriargate matches the striking and historically important first-floor architecture.

    Why do we have to beg for everything like this from Whitehall? I won't bother you with the details but a bridge over the Thames, The Garden Bridge, was scrapped but it cost 40 million just to get scrapped. Not to mention London's Crossrail project 1 billion pounds over budget and still not finished, I get annoyed just writing this.

    Crossrail was 60% funded by London residents and London businesses, I suspect if the Castle Street works were funded on the same basis, they'd never happen.

    Crossrail was absolutely necessary, but so is the Castle Street upgrade, one should have absolutely no bearing on the other.

    What an eyesore! Surely we can insist on better than this? We have a really good opportunity to shape the built environment in a sensitive area and yet we let developers build that dross.

    When's that getting built, 1972? Have we had a Neo-Georgian movement yet?

    Christ, my daughter produces much better than that on Sims every day. In fact she did much better than that when she was into Minecraft. There is no way that can be the actual artists impression.

    And who picks up the bill if it goes tits up? Answers on a postage stamp. Overall the overrun is, depending who you listen too, ranges anything from £600, ooo, ooo to £1 billion, or even £2 billion, and Londoners, business or otherwise are going to cough up that amount of money? Link below, and only up to December 2018. To my way of thinking the more money spent in London is less for the rest of the UK, without straying into politics, the health of a certain place, no matter where, was judged by the amount of cranes on the skyline, hence zero in Hull yet they are like tress in Sherwood Forrest in London.

    I will leave out the contentious issues of the Houses of Parliament, Buck House refurbishments, that is another subject.
