But, at the time of writing this, it wasn’t looking good. Coronavirus cases in Hull were soaring and the city’s Helen Flintoff Commercial Director director of public health had issued an urgent appeal for people to heed the 0333 0113305 guidelines or we would head straight into Tier 3 after December 2. [email protected] Even if hospitality is allowed to reopen to some extent, the dangers won’t have gone away; taking all the brakes off so we can enjoy party time at PRODUCTION Christmas seems reckless to me – it might just end up coming back to bite us in mid-January, prolonging the nightmare yet further. There’s been positive Steve Jessop Production Manager news about a vaccine, but this won’t change things in the short term, so we [email protected] must ride out the next couple of months as best we can. I would echo what many people have been saying, which is to urge you DESIGN to think local for your Christmas shopping this year. Various online initiatives have been set up to showcase our region’s businesses, so, if you’re not willing Craig Hopson Designer or able to go down the high street, spend the time you’ve saved by doing a [email protected] little bit of research. Seek out the many indie retailers who are working flat- out to offer online deliveries, such as JE Books, which we feature this month. EDITORIAL Jeff Bezos, who earns more in one second than many people do in a month, doesn’t care about your custom – but to the small business owner, it could Sam Hawcroft Editor prove to be a lifeline. [email protected] There’s a similar message from the travel sector – use us, or lose us. Karl and Kelly of Beverley Travel tell us why you shouldn’t wait if you’re thinking PHOTOGRAPHY about a holiday in 2021 – and again, by going local, rather than booking through some faceless online marketplace, you’re supporting local people Leo Francis as well as their supply chain. Not to mention the fact you’ll get a personal Photographer [email protected] service with built-in protections. And finally, my other message would be – look out for each other. Look out for your colleagues, your friends, your family members, your neighbours. Christmas 2020 will be like bw-magazine.co.uk no other – but maybe it’ll be a chance to focus @BusinessWorksEY on what really matters: staying safe and well. I @BusinessWorksMag wish you all the best for Christmas and a very Businessworks Magazine happy new year.

  • Hull City Council Hackney Carriage Unmet Demand Survey August 2018
    Hull City Council Hackney carriage unmet demand survey August 2018 Hackney carriage unmet demand survey i Executive Summary This Hackney carriage unmet demand survey has been undertaken on behalf of Hull City Council following the guidance of the April 2010 DfT Best Practice Guidance document, and all relevant case history in regard to unmet demand. This Executive Summary draws together key points from the main report that are needed to allow a committee to determine from the facts presented their current position in regard to the policy of limiting hackney carriage vehicle licences according to Section 16 of the 1985 Transport Act. It is a summary of the main report which follows and should not be relied upon solely to justify any decisions of a committee, but must be read in conjunction with the full report below. A wide range of information was gathered during the period between March and August 2018 and drawn together to identify any latent or patent unmet demand across the City, and to conclude if this observed unmet demand was significant or not. There has been significant change in the licensed vehicle situation in Hull since 2015. Ranks have been altered, removed and added, with changes in club provision having associated rank changes. Highway revisions have affected the key central ranks, with one removed, another moved, and the third having its access amended significantly. Since the last survey, the City of Culture celebrations have concluded, a time when the licensed vehicle service provided excellent service to locals and visitors alike. Refreshed representation of the hackney carriage trade has led to a review of operating practices with a refocus on serving ranks, and particularly on servicing them late at night.

  • C TAH Records of the City Architect's Department C.1880-1984 Housing
    Hull History Centre: Records of the City Architect’s Department – Housing Section C TAH Records of the City Architect’s Department c.1880-1984 Housing Section Historical Background The Borough of Kingston upon Hull was reformed under the 1835 Municipal Corporations Act. In 1876 the borough was merged with the Kingston upon Hull Board of Health, assuming that body's responsibilities for sanitation, street lighting, paving and cleansing, parks and open spaces, and building control. Under the Boundaries Extension Act of 1882 (45 & 46 Victoria) the area covered by the Newington Board of Health was also brought within the borough. Kingston upon Hull was created a City by Charter of Queen Victoria, 6 July 1897. The responsibilities of the City were extended by the Education Act of 1902, which transferred the activities of the local School Boards to the corporation. Responsibility for education lasted until 1974. Under the 1929 Local Government Act, the City also became responsible for public assistance, until this was abolished in 1948. The 1939-45 War also resulted in the City council acquiring additional responsibilities. The 1972 Local Government Act created the County of Humberside and Kingston upon Hull ceased to be a county, becoming a second tier authority as a borough from 1 April 1974. It was restored to the title of City in 1975. The Humberside (Structural Change) Order 1995, operative under the Local Government Act 1992, abolished the County of Humberside and created a county of the City of Kingston upon Hull, effective as a unitary authority from 1 April 1996. The City Architect's Department was responsible for the design and planning for many of the buildings falling under the purview of the City of Hull, along with the selection of building contractors and the administration of the construction process.
