FFS they had the chance to knock that **** hole down years ago instead they spent a fortune on doing them up In fact I think they’ve done it twice Waste of time Horrible ****ing place Orchard Park has been named in the government's list of 'trailblazer neighbourhoods' that are each set to receive up to £20 million. In the eagerly awaited Spending Review, revealed by Chancellor Rachel Reeves yesterday, the government announced funding boosts for the likes of social housing, transport, defense, and the NHSin an attempt to "deliver Britain's renewal." In addition to the headline-grapping announcements made by Ms Reeves, the government also announced funding for twenty five 'trailblazer neighbourhoods' that will each receive up to £20 million over the next ten years. The funding, government claims, will "support communities to drive forward the changes they want to see in their neighbourhoods," as well as supporting "improvements people can see on their doorstep, champion local leadership, foster community engagement and strengthen social cohesion. " Orchard Park has been named alongside the likes of Middleton Park Avenue in Leeds and Birchwood West in Lincoln as one of the twenty 'trailblazer neighbourhoods' in England, with five further neighbourhoods across Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland yet to be selected. The government's announcement explains: "The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) will work with partners from across the sector to help crowd in investment and provide a direct link to Whitehall – making sure that places that have been too easily left behind are no longer ignored. " In recent years, efforts have been made to tackle Orchard Park's somewhat troubled reputation through a series of police, council, and community initiatives. Integral to these efforts has been Humberside Police's Clear Hold Build programme seeks to tackle existing issues in the community whilst preventing future issues from arising. Hull Live recently visited the area with Humberside Police's Sergeant Andy Waller to see the community-improvement work first hand.
Newby residents of Woodmansey complaining that the road is dangerous around the school. Hoping to get the speed limit reduced to 20mph. Thoughts.
20mph is fine by me, but only during school hours and terms. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Like many others, probably, I travel past the school often and feel for the parents having to walk kids alongside a major road. Most park up on the nearby housing estate which will cause it's own issues. Having said that a 20mph restriction (probably stretching half a mile either side) will likely not be adhered to - especially rush hour traffic. Wonder whether the land at the back of the school could be bought/converted to parking with a separate entrance and exit to avoid traffic backing up on Hull Road?
A bigger danger may be the cars that park half on the road and half on the footpath as near to the school as they can, even on the bend. There are parking restrictions near the school and these are often supplemented by traffic cones.
Absolute jokers. Same outside South Holderness. God forbid the arseholes might have to wait a few minutes extra whilst their kid comes to meet them somewhere away from the school.
I suppose there aren't that many schools directly on such a main road. Still, I wouldn't have a problem with a 20mph there. I think a crash barrier on that stretch would be a good start.
why OPE again? Not built until the 1960's, modern houses, double glazed with central heating, nicely set out, plenty of car parking, private garages, gardens, nearby parks, wooded areas and a golf course. Shops, modern medical centre(s) etc etc etc. Compare that to the Dukeries area of Hull. Rows and rows of terraced houses, well over 100 years old, very few gardens, no garages, no greenery, and so on. How much has been spent on that and areas like them over the years in comparison? If any area has been 'left behind' it's certainly isn't OPE.
South Holderness is on a fairly busy road and that is 20mph. It won't kill people to slow down for a minute, in fact it will quite likely do the opposite.
The Duckeries are privately owned houses, not council houses, so the government obviously won’t spend money on them.
School near me has no bloody grass on the verges due to “ parents” parking on them so their overweight kids don’t have to walk 100 yards. Sometimes can’t even get past.
Are you saying that all the houses on OPE are council houses? Maybe you haven't been up there recently but there are also recently built private houses on the estate and they are not council houses. Also were you not round when Maggie brought in the 'right to buy' Bill for council tenants ? I'd say it there was a problem on OPE, it's not with the properties it's with the people living in them and many are now privately owned and sub let. I knew of one such landlord over ten years ago who owned whole rows of them, bought at a fraction of their worth. Plus every penny the Government spends comes from every taxpayer in this country, not just council house tenants.
I don't know why and I know I shouldn't be, but I always find it somewhat amazing how clueless people are who are not from our fair city, but these three seem particularly clueless in general it must be said. Decent positive review though.
Already done it on NHE, along with new garden walls and block paving pavements whereas tarmac is good enough for everywhere else. Noticed they are also installing wrought iron railings along parts of Beverley Road.
Flatten the school and build a decent pub there...and make the little darlings go to a school on the OPE...problem solved
Well I know Norwich has two cathedrals.... I did say "and I know I shouldn't be" so acknowledging that point.
32% of houses on OPE are privately owned, it’s the other 68% they’ll spend most of the money on, though the private owners will obviously benefit from any improvements to the common areas.
