Vision
Hessle Road will continue to be a vibrant and successful district centre,
serving a catchment beyond that of Newington & St. Andrew’s. It will be seen as a quality location – somewhere where people enjoy being and find easy to use. There will be a multitude of things to do in smart surroundings. Traffic and pedestrians will happily co-exist in a thoroughfare designed more for people than motor vehicles. Proposals
As a shopping and service centre, Hessle Road is relatively successful and stable
– the proportion of vacant units has not significantly increased over the past 4 years. This situation needs to be supported well into the future. The trees along the road are a positive feature, and there are a number of buildings of a high architectural quality which add to the character and identity of the centre. Some however need investment to their frontages and signage to maintain the quality of the shopping street.
These interventions will sit alongside public realm improvements that will generate a more pleasant, attractive and accessible environment for pedestrians and achieve a step change in streetscape quality.
