Gateway’s work to revitalise Hull’s neighbourhoods came under the spotlight in January and February when Regional Minister, Rosie Winterton and Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Housing, Ian Austin visited the city.
During her time in Hull, Ms Winterton visited the Sutton Meadows development in east Hull to see the progress being made and met local apprentices and contractors working on the scheme. The £27m development, which is being delivered by Chevin Housing Association and Southdale Homes is currently in its third phase and comprises over 180 homes, 106 of which are already completed or underway.
In February Ian Austin visited Newington and St Andrew's, west Hull, to meet local refurbishment contractors Hobson & Porter and to visit the new development at St Andrew's Square. The £12m scheme to deliver 106 new homes is being delivered in partnership with Keepmoat Homes and Places for People Group. The scheme is now in its second phase, with 39 homes already underway and a further 67 to start in March.
Both schemes have recently benefited from £5m of Kickstart funding from the Homes and Communities Agency.
