    That reminds me of the hours of fiddling with the wire stuff under the car. It just got fuzzier the more you drove the cars so you had to twist it back together, but it was never as good as it was new.

    It looks the arrows confused the car and the van that are on the path. Stopping vehicles like that being on the footways around the City is probably more of a priority than slinging arrows around.

    That's hardly "nudge" is it, more twat you round the face until you pay attention.

    Also likely to have the opposite affect on those it is aimed at, the - you can't tell me what to do, I'll cross a road where I like - brigade

    Apparently this is Lowgate, near where the other road markings are eroded away, quite close to joke shop. It looks like the cars have squished the insulation prats into the tarmac. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    On that bit of anlaby rd I can’t see it encouraging all the smack rats to use the crossing when they’re quite happy to just stagger about weaving in and out of traffic

    This is two minutes from where I live and it looks ****ing ****.
    There's all sorts of rules and regulations to what you can do in the Old Town but the so called council can slap a piece of **** down whenever they like or without asking local opinion.

    I wondered if the markings on Anlaby Rd were to nudge us away from the pub post City games and that our good ladies were behind it. But no, wrong side of the flyover.

    Albion Square development set to include large urban woodland

    The transformational Albion Square development is set to include a large urban park as part of new plans that will be submitted to Hull City Council’s planning committee later this year.

    The new design features a mixture of residential, office and retail space, as well as the large urban park and additional eco-friendly elements.

    The wilding of the area will create a new green space for the city centre.

    The proposal for Albion Square no longer includes an Ice Arena, with Hull City Council electing to explore other areas of the city centre for the new arena.

    The plans still retain Alan Boyson’s Three Ships Mural, which will be incorporated and made a key component of the new development.

    Councillor Daren Hale, leader of Hull City Council, said: “The Albion Square development is a transformational project for Hull, in the heart of our city centre.

    “These new plans will create a city centre oasis, a place where people will be keen to live, work, relax and socialise.

    “We know how important green spaces are to residents and visitors, that is why we have invested significantly in the refurbishment of Queens Gardens, Pearson Park, Pickering Park, East Park, as well as in many other parks and green spaces across the city.

    “There is a huge demand for premium city centre residential property, as we’ve seen with the success of projects like the Fruit Market on the marina, so this mixture of first-class residential property and office space is the ideal option for Albion Square.

    “The inclusion of an urban woodland will create an iconic city centre location that the whole city can enjoy.”

    The development will retain the Three Ships Mural and make it a key feature of the project.

    As well as the urban woodland, the new plans also include a bike hub where cyclists will be able to store bikes.

    The development will also include solar panels, EV charging points and other eco-friendly elements.

    Councillor Hale continued: “We sit on the energy estuary and declared a climate emergency in 2019, before publishing our Hull 2030 Carbon Neutral Strategy.

    “The proposals for Albion Square reflect our commitment to delivering sustainable and responsible projects for our city and residents.”

    Detailed plans for the Albion Square development will be submitted to Hull City Council’s planning committee later this year.

    The development would comprise of a mixture of residential, retail and office space, with the urban woodland sitting in the heart of the project.

    I thought there was an issue with asbestos and general instability of the mural which meant it had to come down? Or have they found a way around that, nice to see it still included anyway.

    They've found a way to stabilise it, and remove the asbestos, it's called 'extra cash.' :emoticon-0100-smile

    No new ice arena? They've sneaked that in haven't they? But re wilding is the new 'in thing' this month.
    I may have missed something, but this is the first I've heard that the new plans weren't to include an ice arena. Though it did seem odd that they were spending millions on refurbing the existing building when it has a limited lifespan.

    Apparently, the preferred site for the new ice arena, is the car park round the back of St Stephens, where Spring Street Theatre used to be.
