Hull City Council

Hull City Council is the unitary authority for the city of Kingston upon Hull and is bordered by the East Riding of Yorkshire. We provide more than 400 difference services to our 260,000 residents and our population continuing to rise. Hull is a great place to live, learn, work, study, visit and invest. In Hull we are proud of our free museums, Ferens Art Gallery and Hull History Centre, which togther welcome 1.35 million visitors in 2017. As Yorkshire's Maritime City, we are developing an extensive redevelopment of our significant historic maritime assets to support our asipiration of creating a world-class visitor destination. Since 2013 there has been almost £3bn of private and public investment in the city, including £300m investment in cultural infrastructure, the £80m regeneration of the Fruit Market and the £25m public realm improvements. The recent review of the council ward boundaries by the Local Government Boundary Commission (LGBC) will see a reduction in the number of wards and councillors. Following the local elections in May, the city will be represented by 57 councillors, two less that there are now and have 21 wards, two less that there are now following the local elections.
