I’m not sure it’s something I’d have done otherwise, but we got given a pair of tickets to see the performance this was written about. It was indeed brilliant, Giselle Allen was incredible and the staging and set were stunning. It does make you appreciate what we have on our doorstep, and how far we’ve come in the last few years. Hull and proud
Might pay a visit to Blacktoft sands one if the largest areas for certain birds migration etc ( I’m not an expert with this type of bird )
**** for the wildlife though, one of the very few places left where rare broomrape, orchids and other things of high botanical value can be found for a mere 20 jobs how ever much needed. Nothing left for future generations.
You have to laugh Almost £3m funding for Hull roads including Freetown Way to 'improve flow' of traffic The funding comes as part of a multi-million Government project to redesign roads to help improve safety and traffic and cut congestion and emissions please log in to view this image Hull City Council official Garry Taylor said it was hoped the funding would improve traffic flow and safety on Freetown Way and other parts of the A165(Image: Donna Clifford) Almost £3m in Government funding is set to be used to improve the flow and safety of traffic on Hull roads including along Freetown Way, the council has said. Hull City Council official Garry Taylor said plans were being drawn up for how they would use the Department for TransportSafer Roads Fund money. The assistant director of major projects said: "We welcome the news of this funding which will help us improve the flow and safety of our roads, we will begin engaging with residents once we have designs available." Transport Secretary Mark Harper said the funding would come as part of £5.1m for cities across Yorkshire and the Humber to boost safety and cut congestion and emissions. The funding for Hull and the region comes as part of a Government package worth £47.5m for investments in road redesigns and improvements over the next 20 years nationally.

The Hull grant is among those made for 27 new projects which are set to include re-designing junctions, improving signage and road markings. The Hull stretch earmarked for funding runs along Freetown Way, or the A165, from the A1079 or Ferensway. It also covers the stretch of the A165 over the River Hull, along Holderness Road to the East Riding border. please log in to view this image Officials are in the early stages of drawing up plans for what to do with the funding for the Freetown Way stretch of the A165 (Image: Benson Planning) The funding stands at a total of £2,990,625. The transport secretary said the funding was the first crucial step in helping councils to improve roads. Mr Harper said: "Britain’s roads are some of the safest in the world, but we are always looking at ways to help keep motorists and all road users safer. This £5.1m injection for cities across Yorkshire and Humber ensures local councils have the support they need to keep everyone safe, while also reducing congestion and emissions." The Road Safety Foundation's Executive Director Dr Suzy Charman said the funding would allow councils to proactively reduce risks on local roads. The director said: "Systematic changes have already had a big impact on road death and serious injury, for example seatbelts and airbags protect lives when crashes happen.

Just in case anyone doesn't get it or those who no longer live in Hull. It worked fine before they changed it to what it is now.
I just use Scott street/Norfolk Street as a rat run if I have to go down there at busy times. Much quicker.
True it’s a disgrace isn’t it. That money could have been used to do so many better things in the city
It was a government strongarm bribe, no cycle lanes equaled no cash for road improvements to Holderness Road etc. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
