Drypool is the latest area to be supported by Hull City Council’s Love Your Neighbourhood project.
Streets across the Drypool area are now basking in the glow of a much-welcomed makeover, thanks to Hull City Council’s ambitious Love Your Neighbourhood initiative.
As part of the citywide project, several streets within the area underwent a comprehensive tidy-up, between Monday 5 August to Friday 16 August, leaving the streets transformed and residents with a renewed sense of pride in their community.
During this period, the team carried out a range of clear-up tasks, including grass verge edging, grounds maintenance, and street cleaning.
The streets included were Abbey Street, Brazil Street, Franklin Street, Field Street, Strawberry Gardens and Rosey Row.
Residents have praised the work of the team and the difference they have seen in the look and feel of their neighbourhoods.
Councillor Charles Quinn, portfolio holder for environment, said: “It’s been great to see such a difference being made in the Drypool area over the past few weeks.
“The tidy-up efforts have not only made the neighbourhood more appealing, but it has also brought the community together – with residents telling us how delighted they are with the work carried out.”
The council are also encouraging residents across the city to take pride in their communities by helping with litter picking, and the removal of graffiti.
To support residents, the Love Your Street team can loan: adult and child sized litter pickers; hi-viz vests; graffiti removal kits; litter collection sacks; and gloves.
Any waste collected, which cannot go in domestic bins, will be collected by the team.

Cllr Quinn, added: “As well as caring for the environment, this project is about getting residents involved and bringing communities together while their streets are given a real makeover.
“By getting involved residents can help make a visible difference, connect with neighbours, and take charge of the place they live.”
Love Your Neighbourhood is a citywide tidy-up programme designed to tackle small areas one at a time.
The team tidy each area over a two-week period, after which residents should see a noticeable difference in the look and feel of their neighbourhood.
