Estate's crumbling pavements to undergo repairs
Hull City CouncilLarge parts of a Hull estate will have its pavements resurfaced this summer.
Works will take place on Innescourt, Jetcourt, Highcourt, Mulcourt, Quilcourt and Ribycourt in Orchard Park throughout July and August.
Pavements will be closed during the works, Hull City Council said.
Councillor Mark Ieronimo, portfolio holder for transport and infrastructure, said: "These improvements will repair worn sections of footway, provide smoother and safer routes for pedestrians, and help prevent more costly repairs in the future."
The programme of work is:
- Innescourt – 13 and 27 July
- Highcourt – 13 July
- Nashcourt (play area) – 28 July
- Jetcourt – 4 August
- Ribycourt – 13, 20 and 27 August
- Mulcourt – 14 August
- Quilcourt – 27 August
Ieronimo added: "Good quality footpaths are something many of us take for granted until they begin to deteriorate. They play an important role in helping people get around safely every day, whether that's walking to school, catching the bus, visiting neighbours or simply getting out and about.
"This scheme builds on the improvements completed in Orchard Park last year, and demonstrates our continued commitment to maintaining safer, more accessible streets across the city.
"We thank residents for their patience and understanding while this work is carried out."
Letters have been delivered to affected residents outlining the works, the council said.
