The latest Hull communities spruced up through Love Your Neighbourhood initiative

Three Hull wards have received major tidy-up treatment as part of the Love Your Neighbourhood (LYN) initiative.

The Hull City Council scheme has seen the Holderness, St Andrews and Docklands and Pickering areas of the city basking in the glow of much-needed makeovers. As part of the citywide project, these three wards underwent a comprehensive spruce-up, between Monday, April 1 and to Sunday, May 12, leaving 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 Mayville Avenue, Lorraine Street, Chamberlain Road, Bean Street, Kings Leigh, Birch Leigh, Thorn Leigh, Kings Cross Close, Euston Close, St Pancras Close, Sibelius Road, Bantock Garth, Novello Garth, Pickering, Gershwin Avenue, Elgar Road, and Sullivan Road.

Residents have praised the work of the team and the difference they have seen in the look and feel of their neighbourhood. Councillor Charles Quinn, portfolio holder for environment, said: “I am delighted to see such a positive transformation take place within the Holderness, St Andrews and Docklands and Pickering wards.

“The tidy-up efforts have not only made the neighbourhoods more appealing, but it has also brought communities together – with residents telling us how delighted they are with the work carried out. As well as caring for the environment, this project is about investing in local communities to bring them up to scratch, creating areas that people can feel proud about living in. It is very much a programme for the whole city.”

LYN is the council’s new tidy-up programme, which will tackle small areas of the city one at a time. The team will tidy each area over a two-week period, after which residents should see a noticeable difference in the look and feel of their neighbourhood.

The LYN team will continue its journey across Hull, tackling one area after another. To find out where the team is going next, visit Love Your Neighbourhood news and follow on Facebook and X (formerly Twitter). Areas will be announced every two weeks.
