All 27 road closures as part of improvement works

Twenty seven roads in Hull will close throughout the month for improvement work, the city council has confirmed.

Starting on Tuesday 6 May, the work is expected to finish by Saturday 31 May, with closures in place from 07:00 to 19:00 BST.

The work will focus on removing potholes and cracking.

Gillian Osgerby, interim assistant director for major projects and infrastructure at Hull City Council, said the closures would "ensure the safety of the contractors and road users".

She said: "This programme has been designed to enhance the quality of key residential roads that are showing signs of wear and tear.

"We apologise for the disruption these works may cause to some residents, but we strive to minimise disruption and keep residents informed as much as possible."

She added residents would be informed two weeks before the work started by letter.
