Phase two of the council’s £6m Community Highstreets project will begin next week with a series of public engagement events.
The second phase of the investment project will cover four areas in Hull.
These will be Elmbridge Parade on Annandale Road, south side Endike Lane between Langtoft Grove and Moy Court, Goodwin Parade on Walker Street and The Quadrant.
The citywide scheme aims to reinvigorate high streets through enhancing quality of place, environmental performance, accessibility, community services and satisfaction, as well as increasing footfall and reducing shop vacancy rates.
Phase one was launched in 2025 and saw positive public engagement in several areas across the city – Barham Road, Greenwich Avenue, Holderness Road/Woodford, Chanterlands Avenue, Grampian Way, Anlaby Road/Coltman Street and Gipsyville.
The council’s Community Highstreets project team will be hosting further in-person events from next week to gather the thoughts and priorities of residents, business owners and other community members on future plans for each area.
These sessions are:
Goodwin Parade/Walker Street – Goodwin Trust Hub, The Octagon, Walker Street, HU3 2RA – Wednesday 18 March, 1-3pm and Wednesday 15 April, 10am to 12pm
Endike Lane – Unity in Community Hub, 501 Endike Lane, HU6 8AQ – Thursday 19 March, 9-11:30am
The Quadrant – Eternal Benefits, 104-106 The Quadrant, HU6 8NS – Monday 23 March, 10am to 1pm
Businesses will also have flyers, posters and paper surveys delivered.
Engagement for Elmbridge Parade on Annandale Road has already been completed.
Cllr Ted Dolman, portfolio holder for communities at the council, said: “We have already had lots of positive engagement with stakeholders during phase one of the Community Highstreets project.
“This is an opportunity for different communities to have a direct impact on the future of their area during phase two.
“This project demonstrates the council’s commitment to investment in our high streets and making Hull a better place to live, work and visit.
“I urge the public to have their say and I look forward to hearing their feedback.”
The public consultation will launch on Monday 16 March and continue for six weeks.
