Love Your Neighbourhood: Ings area next in line for a tidy-up

Hull City Council's Love Your Neighbourhood project will be arriving in the Ings area next week.

As part of the citywide Love Your Neighbourhood project, several streets within Hull's Ings Wardwill undergo a comprehensive tidy-up from Monday 2 September to Friday 13 September, leaving streets transformed and residents with a renewed sense of pride in their community.

Over the two-week period, the team will carry out a range of clear-up tasks, including verge cutting, grounds maintenance, and street cleaning works.

The streets that will be included are Clapham Avenue, Mortlake Close, Putney Close, and Brixton Close.

Councillor Charles Quinn, portfolio holder for environment, said: "We are thrilled to announce that the next phase of the Love Your Neighbourhood project will take place in the Ings area.

"The dedicated team are ready to give this neighbourhood a brilliant makeover. Giving local residents a cleaner and welcoming local environment.

"We hope everyone in the area will reap the benefits of this wonderful project."

The council also wants to encourage residents to get involved with the project by helping with litter picking, and the removal of graffiti.

To help residents get involved, the Love Your Street team can loan: adult and child sized litter pickers; hi-viz vests; graffiti removal kits; litter collection sacks; and gloves.

Any waste that cannot go in domestic bins will be collected by the team.

Cllr Quinn, added: "As well as caring for the environment, this project gets residents involved too and brings the community together.

"By getting involved with the tidy-up residents can help make a visible difference, connect with neighbours, and take charge of the place they live."

Love Your Neighbourhood is a citywide tidy-up programme designed to tackle small areas one at a time.

The team tidy each area over a two-week period, after which residents should see a noticeable difference in the look and feel of their neighbourhood.
