Hull City Council proposes infrastructure upgrades with £1bn fund application

Hull City Council plans to apply for a share of the UK Government’s £1 billion Structures Fund. The money will support a five-year programme to modernise key infrastructure, tackling urgent and long-standing challenges in the city.

Councillors aim to use the funding for projects that address roads, bridges, flood defences, and essential public works. The initiative is part of a larger drive across England’s cities to refresh critical structures in need of repair and renewal .

If successful, Hull would access government support to carry out repairs and upgrades more quickly, improving safety and resilience in vulnerable parts of the city. Council leaders say the fund could deliver reliable and lasting improvements for local residents and businesses.

Next steps include preparing a detailed application outlining priority projects, cost estimates, and timelines. Approval would unlock funding to move forward, with work set to begin within the coming years.
