Cottingham North VS Hessle Road

Cottingham description

Small villages with cloth mill, expanded in late 1800s with Castle Hill hospital and halls of residence for Hull Uni

Recent expansion from high demand due to proximity to Hull to act as a commuter village, with closure of student accommodation and increase in global business with Aldi reducing independent stores influence

St Andrew’s ward description

Rapid expansion due to St Andrew’s dock opening in 1883, poverty stricken and overpopulated

Heavily bombed during WW2 and was decimated by Cod Wars of the 70s, giving the UK 200 nautical mile fishery zone after Iceland threatened to withdraw from NATO

8000 trawlermen in 50s, now around 200, no redundancy payments

Recent influx of immigrants due to cheap former fisherman homes

Regeneration success

Hessle Road- Ribble Avenue housing ‘delayed but worth the wait’, seen improvement in building quality. City centre projects mean places in need of regeneration are being neglected. Beset by litter and ageing infrastructure

Cottingham- 500 resident signed petition to block Aldi as it caused traffic and changes character of village.
