Off Topic Hull City Centre Public Realm Strategy

Why would they rush to finish it,when they’re earning top money on overtime

 

Well they're not rushing on the Maritime Museum, the opening date has moved again, it's gone from spring 2026 to summer 2026. Please bear in mind summer reaches to September.

 

Closed since January 2020.
6 1/2 years to refurb (assuming it is actually reopened next summer).
Sorry but that's plain ridiculous.

 

why is it ridiculous ? Do you know the scope of works or Heritage hurdles involved??

 

Well, taking longer to refurbish a building than it did to construct the Channel Tunnel or to build Hadrian’s Wall does seem a tad excessive.

 

It only took the French 3 years to build the Millau Viaduct the tallest bridge on the world. Maybe they should have been given the Queen’s Gardens and Maritime Museum jobs. And Castle Street.

 

No, he's right. 6 1/2 years (and counting) to refurb it is no time at all.

 

Agreed for once .

 

I’m not talking about that, but I’ll leave i there as I’m not sure what’s public.
Nothing earth shattering, or worrying. just one of the reasons for delays and increased costs that’s all.

 

Wish I hadn’t started this.
I was just referring to one of the reasons for delays (I’m sure there are many) which would have been the same whether it was public or private.
Forget mentioned it!

 

Forget you mentioned what Den, can you remind me?
