The Headlines

Getting to know our zones and the team behind them
Since launching earlier this year, plans for Lagoon Hull’s four distinct zones have received rave reviews.
 
The Nature, Living, City and Port zones will transform Hull’s existing space and unlock further land on which its future can be built.
 
We sat down with one of the key players in leading this vision to learn more about the many design considerations and to find out why he was so keen to get involved.

Green Living
Tip of the Month

Our high streets are gold mines when it comes to sourcing what we need but the convenience of deliveries often steers us away from these valued retailers.
 
Unlike locally sourced products, the items on the shelves of big retailers can have travelled thousands of miles before finding their way to our doorstep – that’s before we think about the refrigeration or packaging also involved in the process.
 
With the environment at the forefront of people’s minds, why not do your bit and keep food miles down?
 

Transport: The Benefits

A new footbridge crossing the A63 has opened to the public.
 
The Porter Street Bridge connects Porter Street and the Western Docklands area which was recently given council approval to be transformed into an area for waterfront housing and businesses.
 
The green footbridge can be used by pedestrians and cyclists, and is the latest step in the £355m Castle Street scheme, due to be completed in 2025.

Did you know?...

The UK’s largest Yorkshire pudding factory proudly stands in Hull.
 
Aunt Bessie’s has been a cornerstone of the city since 1851 but did you know it makes 500,000,000 puddings every single year?
 
That’s enough Yorkshires to go around the world 2,000 times!

About Lagoon Hull
Lagoon Hull is the ultimate transformation project.
 
The proposed infrastructure scheme is centred around the creation of an eight-mile causeway built parallel to our city, in the Humber.
 
It’s an economic growth project that will support the UK’s levelling-up agenda, unlocking significant residential and commercial development opportunities and creating 19,000 new skilled and semi-skilled jobs, particularly in the emerging low-carbon economy.
 
It’s a project about improving the lives of local people and creating a city they don’t want to leave, as well as providing total tidal flood protection for Hull for 100 years.
 
While we continue to raise Lagoon Hull’s profile and target key stakeholders, you can add your name to the ever-growing wave of support for the most transformative project in a generation here.
