Council to engage with residents and businesses about safety improvements to Lowgate

Hull City Council has launched a six-week engagement exercise to provide information and seek feedback from the public and other stakeholders about a series of changes to improve road safety in the Lowgate area of the city centre.

As part of its highway’s capital programme, the council is looking to:

• widen the footway outside of O’Leary’s public house at Lowgate / Scale Lane to reduce the width of the carriageway to make crossing easier and create a lay-by for the taxi rank;
• provide a new signalised crossing facility at Silver Street / Scale Lane;
• widen the footpath at various locations on Market Place and Lowgate; and,
• make the wider Old Town area into a 20mph zone, with upgraded variable message signs installed.
