Further details of Hull lagoon scheme unveiled please log in to view this image Backers of plans to create a £1.5bn lagoon on the River Humber have said it would create 19,000 jobs. Lagoon Hull's scheme would see an A63 relief road built in the Humber and say it would offer 100% flood protection between the Humber Bridge and the Port of Hull. The project would also offer improved recreational, residential and business opportunities, say the firm. Proposals also include increased dock space and new habitats for wildlife. Paul Hatley, Lagoon Hull project director, said they had decided to separate the project into four clearly-defined zones - city, living, nature and port. "The four zones will make sure all of our key aims are achieved while also giving plenty of space to give something back to our communities," he said. The city zone would create a "destination recreational area" for residents and tourists and would see water buses transporting people up the River Hull towards Beverley. The living zone, he said, would create new residential areas either side of St Andrew's Quay and create a new marina. The nature zone would see the creation of floating islands and boardwalks across the mudflats and wetlands and provide new habitats for wildlife. Two new dock spaces would feature in the port zone along with extended transport links. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-humber-61750843
The Castle Street works are costing over £500m so to do a massive project like that would cost 10 times that, still if it’s good enough for cross rail it’s good enough for Hull
I passed by the site of the now demolished Pozition nightclub, on George Street, earlier today, and the builders are working on there. I seem to recall it's earmarked for apartments.
I'm not sure if it's down to current shortages, but there has to be something better to use if they don't have any spray markers.
Plans for multi-million pound Hull cruise ship terminal next to The Deep scrapped https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/new...5Dbu2tyq9_LaTJiWhZyu5duaSNSRgOUritYI4Geli4a_Q I always thought it was a poor site, so this isn't a surprise, but the plan to move it to Albert Dock would be bad news for the Lagoon plans.

Right, how come they have to dig down so far to find that old stuff, yet you can still open the door on Holy Trinity and St Mary's? Surely they should be buried too by now?
The Lagoon is pie in the sky, never going to happen without Governments help, and it’s the North, now if it was mooted near London, it would get built
