So the Council in Hull has recently won an award for being the most improved council in the country. It’s a real shame that this brings out the usual string of complaints from people who then talk about how Hull CC has let them down, but I think this is pretty impressive.
It looks like shopping in Hull could soon be getting another facelift after the announcement that the Princes Quay shopping centre has been sold.
Plans for development include two large department stores and up to 60 new shops, as well as a potential “Quay West” development including a new hotel in Hull and leisure centre in Hull.
CCTV security systems are a great way of keeping homes and businesses safe and secure.
CCTV (closed circuit television) is a television and some small cameras that record and play events as they are happening live within its coverage area.
So, a year on from when I blogged on the fact that Hull wasn’t even on Google’s radar, the funny car with the camera has finally got round to covering the streets of our great city.
If you have no idea what I’m talking about, you can virtually walk the streets with Google Maps and see your house, your driveway and all your local restaurants and bars in Hull.
So my scepticism shone through when I wrote back in December about Hull being a City of Culture… and it seems everyone was right in their belief that it would never happen.
We’ve been knocked out of the race, with the four cities still in the running for the UK’s first City of Culture 2013 being Birmingham, Derry/Londonderry, Norwich and Sheffield.
Are you a Charity in Hull? Do you know a charity in Hull? If so Infoserve are giving away 10 Free websites to charities in Hull, why not help boost that charity’s online presence with this offer?

Hull’s art galleries and museums are attracting record crowds at the moment. More than half a million people visited in 2009, according to Hull City Council.
That “equates to everyone in Hull visiting one of the council’s museums or galleries twice in that year.”
Not bad.
Anyone else going mad with all the people who have suddenly joined gyms as part of their 2010 fitness regime and won’t stop gloating?
I’m just waiting until about… I’d say… the end of February before the novelty wears off.
Gyms must love it as they then sit back and rake in the monthly fees as attendance figures tail off.
Examples of monuments and buildings made from British granite can be seen in probably every city and town in the UK. Granite is one of the most unique of building stones. It has long been valued for its durability and strength, as well as its striking appearance.
How have I only just found out about the Hull History Centre? As someone who likes to keep an ear quite close to the ground in Hull, this one seems to have escaped me.
Opening on Monday 25th January on Mason Street near Queens Gardens, it is a brand new spanking building and will be the new home to many a book, document and old bits of paper.
