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.
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.
This article about Hull City Council amused me on the BBC’s news website
“People asked to criticise council”
“Hull council is appealing for people to volunteer to criticise its councillors and policies.”
I had a little chuckle as given attitudes towards Councils in general, and specifically Hull’s, I can’t see it would be difficult to round up enough people to help.
