Lagoon Hull is playing its part in this summer’s must-see activity.
 
42 puffins have been installed across Hull and the East Riding to highlight the threat the seabirds face as climate change continues to impact their environment.
Lagoon Hull is proud to be sponsoring one of the impressive one-and-a-half-metre sculptures which will be visited by thousands of people during the summer holidays. Head on down to Humber Quays to meet him!

While Hull’s new puffin trail – Puffins Galore! – is the perfect activity to get you out and about this summer, there’s also a serious message behind it.
 
With sea temperatures forecast to rise in the coming years, numbers of one of Britain’s best-loved birds could dwindle by 2050, according to recent research.
 
The beautiful birds could be driven away from our shores - which is why raising awareness of the puffin’s plight is so important. Read more about it here.

Green Tip of the Month

A new road to unclog the A63 and Hull city centre is one of the key pillars of the Lagoon Hull project.
 
With car engines not sitting idle, carbon emissions will be reduced to the benefit of the climate and the people of the city.
 
But why wait? With the cost of living at the front of people’s minds, eco-driving is one consideration to help cut costs. Keeping your car regularly maintained can improve fuel efficiency by up to 10 per cent, according to the RAC Foundation.
 
Other top tips include:
  • Open windows instead of using air conditioning (up to 40mph)
  • Remove unused roof racks
  • Check tyre pressures
  • Cut out sharp acceleration and heavy breaking
Why Lagoon Hull?
 
Lagoon Hull has the ability to transform our region, building a city where people are proud to live and love to visit.
Offering significant flood prevention and transport infrastructure benefits, the project will drive Hull towards a bright new future.
 
While we continue to raise Lagoon Hull’s profile and target key stakeholders, you can add your name to the ever-growing wave of support for the most transformative project in a generation here.
?! Quiz question !?

Hull is a sporting city – and its cross-river rugby rivalry is well-known.
 
Splitting families and friends right down the middle, Hull FC vs Hull Kingston Rovers is English rugby league’s one true derby.
 
For many, lifting the Challenge Cup is the ultimate goal. But how many times has the trophy returned to our city thanks to wins by either side?

Keep an eye on our Facebook and Twitter channels for the answer!

Transport Changes

Leads Road - one of north Hull’s major routes – will be closed overnight for one weekend as part of the Stoneferry Road Corridor scheme.
 
Carriageway resurfacing means the road will be shut between Rotterdam Road and Bandstand Roundabout between 7pm on Friday 29th July and 6am on Monday 1st August.
 
The aim of the wider work is to speed up the average travel time between Bransholme, Kingswood, and the heart of the city to prepare for new business and site expansions in an area that currently suffers from heavy congestion at peak times.

"Did you know?"

Hull’s Tidal Barrier has been in place for more than 40 years, protecting tens of thousands of homes from flooding around the River Hull.
 
Built in 1980, the 30-metre-wide gate is one of the most dominant landmarks on the city’s horizon. But did you know it’s actually the second biggest flood barrier in the UK?
 
Only London’s Thames Barrier, 520 metres in width, is larger.
