Hull City Council’s Cabinet is set to review a multi-million-pound highways capital programme aimed at maintaining the city’s roads and footpaths.
The report sets out a rolling three‑year programme showing how capital funding could be allocated, supporting a long‑term and planned approach to highways maintenance and improvements.
If approved, the programme would ensure the coordinated maintenance of key routes across the city’s transport network, helping to keep Hull moving.
For 2026/27, the first year of the programme, a funding allocation of £38.7million has been proposed. Subject to approval, this funding would support a range of work across the city, including road and footpath maintenance as well as the delivery of sustainable transport schemes and major road improvements.
Indicative allocations are also outlined for 2027/28 and 2028/29, allowing the council to develop and coordinate future schemes.
The funding comes from the Department for Transport via the Hull and East Yorkshire Combined Authority and other external bodies, such as Active Travel England, as well as the council’s own capital spend.
Angela Blake, assistant director of major projects and infrastructure at Hull City Council, said: “This programme is reviewed and updated regularly to make sure it reflects residents’ priorities and the condition of the transport network.
“By having a long-term plan in place, we can keep key routes reliable, maintain the network to a high standard and deliver improvements that will benefit communities across Hull.
“If approved, the programme will also support economic growth, improve access to opportunities and help us move closer to our ambition of being carbon neutral by 2030, supporting healthier, more active lives.”
The report will be considered by cabinet on Monday 27 April.
