Best option is possible, but many new ones in Hull don't
That's likely to be (I'm guessing, I've not seen anything of the schemes in Hull due to lockdown) because they were installed using the emergency funding made available last summer, before the new strategy was launched. As has been said elsewhere, those emergency measures really should have been made permanent by now, or canned.

Last November Hull was awarded just over £1m for permanent active travel measures and the expectations for that funding are that any cycling measures will be segregated. DMD or others may know precisely what Hull bid for.

The schemes and that information is on-line, but it takes some teasing out as to what is funded under which scheme. Even then, the interpretation doesn't always fit what you may expect from the outline information.

I'm not being awkward by not posting it, and suggesting a google, it's just I never saved any of it when I looked in to it before, and my experience was that it was very fragmented. In all the looking, I never really found what the criteria was that would determine the success or failure. I guess that could be interpreted several ways too.

Had a look on hdm and saw this comment
Good idea if he has been banging this drum
Trouble is nowt gets done


“Councillor Farnham has been trying to put in place a rail stop for at least 15 years.

The rail stop would be stopping at Cottingham and then at the Hothem road cycle track bridge, which the public could use from Bricknell Avenue and priory road side to travel into town.

This would stop a lot of traffic congestion and be more beneficial then cycle lanes to the west side of the city”

Absolutely and completely agree with her statement... ****ing Ridicules !!!!

I think many people would be far less likely to be pissed off with it, if there had been an honest and genuine discussion on it, where people felt their views were being listened to and acted on.

I went here last night (Cave Bar & Kitchen), probably for the last time, as yesterday their planning appeal failed and it’s probably now going to close (the whole outdoor area definitely has to close).
It was open last Friday, my sister went with her pals, they looked bloody freezing!
