Following the completion of several new housing developments in the area over the past few years, Hull City Council has confirmed two schemes will take place in 2026 to increase the highway capacity of the roundabouts at Ennerdale Leisure Centre and Wawne Road/Bude Road.
In addition, the schemes will also -
- improve cycle and pedestrian facilities to support people to walk and ride more
- provide new signalised cycle and pedestrian crossing points to improve safety
- see the management of trees in the area, some of which are proposed to be taken up and replanted
Where this cannot be accommodated, twice as many replacement trees will be planted to improve the local landscape.
The multi-million-pound investment has been funded through the council’s capital programme as well as an allocation of funding from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG).
The council has appointed CR Reynolds Ltd, a Hessle-based construction company, to deliver two roundabout improvement schemes in Kingswood.
Works are programmed to start in early March, with the council and its contractor taking a phased approach to minimise disruption. Both sites will also be worked on simultaneously to shorten the overall length of construction.
It is anticipated that the improvements will be completed by the end of the year.
