    I admit I had to google him to see who he is. According to Wiki he is 24 and his siblings are Ten Tonnes?

    My oh my things are looking up, what with a proposed new Gin Bar in the city centre maybe town could be something like it used to be before long, at least better than today for a night out.

    More exciting plans for Hull's old Argos building have got the go-ahead

    Ambitious plans to turn a section of King William House into a microbrewery and visitor centre have been approved

    Major plans to transform part of the former Argos building in Hull city centre into a microbrewery have been given the go-ahead.

    Artist impressions of the major new development at King William House in Old Town – which will create shops and restaurants in the building – have already been circulated.

    But now ambitious plans to turn a section of the block into a microbrewery and visitor centre have been approved.

    Plans say a “leading local brewing company is keen to establish itself” at the location, and wants to create a new tourist attraction.

    The planning statement says: “It is proposed to change the use of part of the ground floor and first floor of King William House to form a microbrewery and ancillary visitors’ centre and tap room.

    “A leading local brewing company is keen to establish itself at this location.

    "In addition to brewing its beers on site, the company intends to become a tourist attraction by providing a visitors’ centre and tap room whereby visitors can come to see how the beer is manufactured and sample some of the company’s products.

    “It is anticipated the proposed use will bring additional footfall to the area and will create additional employment.”

    Built it in 1975, King William House also includes the former Argos store and a 600-space multi-storey car park.

    News of the possible venture has been received well by residents, including Jonathan Cawood, who said: “Think this is a great idea to revitalise this area.

    “Having another visitor centre in the city will help keep up the good work of 2017.

    “Hull needs more of these types of redevelopments and I am excited to see it open.”

    The application to create the microbrewery space was submitted by KWH Ltd in Hull.

    Speaking when the plans were revealed, director Shaun Larvin said: “We are not in advanced talks with any brewery yet but there is a lot of interest and we want to get planning permission in place if possible.

    “We believe this would be a unique attraction to bring to Hull city centre and, if planning permission was granted, we would hope to have it all completed by this time next year.”

    Looks like the Humber Bridge has missed out on the funding for the digital art project...

    The company and workers doing the job should have some pride in their own work and do it properly.

    What powers do the council have over temporary works undertaken by utility companies?
