These will be Elmbridge Parade, Annandale Road; south side of Endike Lane, between Langtoft Grove and Moy Court; Goodwin Parade, Walker Street and The Quadrant.
2. 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.
3. The council’s Community Highstreets project team will be hosting further in-person events from this week to gather the thoughts and priorities of residents, business owners and other community members on future plans for each area. These sessions are to be held as follows:
4. Goodwin Parade/Walker Street – Goodwin Trust Hub, The Octagon, Walker Street, HU3 2RA, Wednesday, March 18, 1pm to 3pm and Wednesday, April 15, 10am to noon.
