Essential resurfacing works are set to begin in Hull later this month to provide much-needed improvements to the city’s footpaths.
As part of Hull City Council’s investment in the city’s footpaths, essential improvement works will take place on Barrington Avenue, Chanterlands Avenue, Fitzroy Street, Hardwick Street and Harpings Road, from next week.
The improvement scheme will involve resurfacing areas of the footpaths which have deteriorated. Once finished, the newly improved footpaths will provide a safe and even surface for local residents.
Works are scheduled to begin on Monday 16 September and are expected to take approximately 20 weeks to complete (not including Christmas break), weather permitting.
To reduce the impact on residents the work will be carried out in separate phases on the following dates:
- Monday 16 September to Friday 27 September – Barrington Avenue from Edith Cavell Court to Kenilworth Avenue
- Friday 27 September to Thursday 17 October – Chanterlands Avenue (southeast) from Allderidge Avenue to Bricknell Avenue
- Friday 18 October to Friday 22 November – Chanterlands Avenue (west) from Westbourne Avenue West to Lynton Avenue
- Monday 18 November to Tuesday 3 December – Full length and both sides of Fitzroy Street
- Friday 6 December to Friday 13 December – Hardwick Street (east) from Thoresby Street to Clumber Street
- Monday 6 January to Monday 3 February – full length and both sides of Harpings Road
For the safety of contractors and the public, the works will be undertaken using footpath closures, with some parking restrictions in place.
Access will be maintained for residents at all times.
Councillor Mark Ieronimo, portfolio holder for transportation, roads, and highways at Hull City Council, said: “These works are essential to repair and maintain the surface of the footpaths to stop them falling into poor condition.
“My main focus is ensuring all footpaths are safe within the city and I know that residents will welcome the smooth new surfaces once they are completed.
“This scheme also aligns with our broader Community Plan for Hull to create safe and welcoming neighbourhoods for our residents.
“I would like to thank all residents for their patience and understanding while we carry out these works.”
The scheme will be carried out by PBS Construction on behalf of the council.
