HCA drops in

Gateway’s programme came under the spotlight in November when Robert Napier, Chair of the Homes and Communities Agency, visited the city.
Mr Napier visited projects in east and west Hull, and met developers, local residents, contractors and employees working on the regeneration schemes.
Together with Gateway's Strategic Director, Pauline Davis, and local resident Joan Atkinson, he also accepted the Hull Civic Society’s ‘good mark’ award, for the “outstanding” frontage improvement scheme for homes in Newington and St. Andrew’s, west Hull (pictured right). Designed to restore some of the area’s original Victorian character and splendour, the scheme has already made a major impact on the appearance of the area, with 882 homes refurbished, and work now under way to revitalise 5,000 metres of streetscene.
Stuart Whyte, Chair of Gateway commented: “We were delighted to welcome Robert Napier to the city. The support of the Homes and Communities Agency is absolutely critical to the regeneration of Hull’s neighbourhoods and during his visit he was able to see the significant progress we have already made”.
