This issue has started a bit of debate on the Hull thread.
Just wondering what exactly the conditions for a sub-forum are. Is it:
1. Amount of posts
2. city populations,
3. number of proposals
or
4. height of proposals?
or a combination of all of them? Our case goes like this:
1. Hull is the second most popular thread in projects and construction when measured by 'amount of posts', it also scores fairly well on the views counter. We reckon a 'Hull Metro' or 'Hull and East Yorkshire' sub-forum would boost this even more.
2. Built up urban area - 320,000. Hull & East. Yorks 600,000+. Not massive, but big in UK terms, and an undoubted regional centre.
3. Lots and Lots! Off the top of our heads, we came up with:
1) St Stephens Shopping Centre
2) St Stephens Hotel
3) Paragon Station Transport Interchange
4) Hull Truck Theatre
5) Albemarle Music Centre
6) Ferensway Refurbishment
7) St Stephens Apartments
8) Spring Bank Apartments
9) Anlaby Road Flats Reclad.
10) New York Hotel Refurb.
11) Hotel, East Bank
12) The Boom Apartments, East Bank (Imminent)
13) Footbridge, East Bank (Imminent)
14) The Deep Submarium
15) Streetlife Museum
16) Clarence Flour Mill (tbc)
17) River Hull Impoundment
18) Humber Quays 1
19) Humber Quays 2
20) Freedom Quay Apartments
21) Wellington Street Refurbishment
22) Hotel (4 star) Humber Quays
23) HC Conference Centre
24) Fruit Market (numerous small developments)
25) Large Casino
26) Boutique Hotel
27) Albion Street Refurbishment
28) Albion Square
29) Bond Street Tower
30) Co-op Building Apartments
31) Kingston House (Reclad)
32) Hull History Centre
33) Queens Gardens
34) BBC Centre / Apartments
35) Burnett House
36) Whitefriargate
37) Arc
38) Hull New Town (Retail / Leisure)
39) Hull Old Town (Leisure / residential)
40) Avenues (Spring Bank / Princes / Newland)
41) West Hull regeneration (Clive Sullivan Way / Derringham / St Andrews Apartments )
42) Quay West Retail (£300M Princes Quay Expansion)
43) Hotel Quay West
44) Castle Street Improvement (Tunnel)
45) KC Stadium (Expansion, events)
46) Hull Sport (Hull City, Hull FC, Hull KR, Ice Hockey, Speedway)
47) Hull Museums (Town Docks, Ferens Art Gallery, Wilberforce, Streetlife)
48) University of Hull
49) Hull Schools (£200M plan)
50) Port of Hull
51) Hull Business
52) Central Library refurbishment (phase one completed)
53) The Institute Building (Currently being transformed into a pioneering 4* 'owner hotel')
54) Proposed works on the Guildhall
55) Mytongate upgrade
56) Office developments on the A63 corridor
57) Upgrade in rail freight from the docks
58) Possibility of Hull to York (via beverley) railway line re-opening?
59) Dock Office Row (behind hull college - planning permission granted for two areas of resi development between three dry docks
60) There is also the Newington and St Andrews Pathfinder regeneration scheme
Again, these are limited to Hulls restrictive city boundaries, if the metro area was included, the list would be over a hundred schemes long.
4. Surely this is a daft criteria to use?
Personally I'd completely support the idea of the likes of Leicester, Hull and other medium-large sized urban hubs being able to discuss things on a bigger platform,mwhilst also giving a regional focus for their surrounding areas. It is an easier way to cover more developments accross more of the country.
