Hull City Council’s new £1m Love Your Neighbourhood project will be arriving in the Waveney Road area of east Hull next week.

From Monday 10 April, the team will begin carrying out a range of tasks to improve the look and feel of the neighbourhood, including:

  • Verge cutting
  • Tree works
  • Grounds maintenance
  • Street cleaning

Over the past fortnight, the team have been clearing up the Boulevard area. The results of the verge edging can be seen in the before/after pictures below.

Love Your Neighbourhood is a new citywide tidy-up programme designed to tackle small areas one at a time.

A new team is currently being set up to carry out the project, creating 37 permanent jobs at the council.

The team will tidy each area over a two-week period, after which residents should see a noticeable difference to the look and feel of their neighbourhood.

The council is currently carrying out trials ahead of the new team being created.

From next week, the team will focus on the Waveney Road area. To find out where the team is going to be after that, keep checking Hull CC News and follow us on Facebook and Twitter. Areas will be announced every two weeks.
