Hull City Council has approved a comprehensive five-year plan to enhance the city’s bridges, statues, monuments, and fountains. This initiative aims to transform the preservation and management of Hull’s infrastructure by integrating capital spending, inspections, and maintenance into one coordinated approach.
As part of the plan, the council is requesting funding from the government’s newly announced £1bn Structures Fund. The fund, launched on 16 June, is part of a national effort to repair, enhance, and futureproof England’s transport infrastructure and road networks.
The project is expected not only to safeguard and upgrade Hull’s infrastructure but also to provide a boost to local businesses and stimulate economic growth. The investment will focus on improving safety, reducing the likelihood of emergency closures, and enhancing public transport reliability, all of which are crucial for boosting the local economy and creating jobs.
The council believes these upgrades will contribute to better journey times, improved safety, and an overall more reliable transport system for residents and businesses in Hull and the surrounding areas.
