Cottingham Road pavements

John Fareham and John Abbott have secured further pavement reinstatements on Cottingham Road covering part of the section between the two entrances to Newland Park. This follows on from the work already undertaken to reinstate pavements on Cottingham Road further towards Cottingham and forms part of our ongoing programme of pavement maintenance. This section of pavement, of course, includes the place where students catch buses to Cottingham and we consider it important for their perception of Hull, whether they stay here after their studies as we did or go off to prosper somewhere else, that the one bit of pavement they see the most of during their three years here should be kept in good order. We do of course also share local residents’ concern for the state of the grass verges and are continuing to work with the officers to find a solution that will be both practicable and acceptable to all concerned.
