for the patients of the future. That's all from us. Now on BBC One | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
?25 million is to be spent giving Hull the biggest facelift | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
People living in the city are promised street | :00:17. | :00:25. | |
Our Culture Correspondent Anne`Marie Tasker reports. | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
It's not had a facelift for decades | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
but within three years this is what Hull City centre could look like. | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
Street level fountains in Queen Victoria Square, | :00:34. | :00:34. | |
architecture lit at night and pedestrianising the Fruit Market, | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
Hull City Council's paying the first half of the ?25 million bill | :00:38. | :00:44. | |
because it believes the changes will bring in new business. | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
If we can attract those big companies, and get | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
more jobs, higher quality jobs, more income into the city, then that, in | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
turn, will provide more revenue to restore some of the funding that | :00:58. | :01:04. | |
central government has cut from our day`to`day services. | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
Hull City Council says that it feels that the | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
city is looking tired. But do people living here feel that that will be | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
They need to make it look more attractive, so | :01:17. | :01:26. | |
that it looks like people actually care about the place. | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
The council are going to spend 12 within pounds. To do this? We need | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
to do so much to bring tourism in. And I think this will. | :01:38. | :01:45. | |
Hull City Council has made no secret of the fact it needs to save ?48 | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
And starting this transformation will cost it more than ?12 million. | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
But it's estimated it will bring an extra ?70 million | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
And that it will support more than 500 new jobs over ten years. | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
But one group that analyses our city's economies, | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
We hear a lot of big numbers associated with big cultural events | :02:05. | :02:14. | |
and sports events but the evidence suggests that the benefits are | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
smaller and more local than the announcements suggests. | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
But business aside, these plans will help highlight Hull's history ` | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
possibly moving the William Wilberforce statue and giving more | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
It will enable people to get closer to our wonderful stock of heritage | :02:26. | :02:36. | |
buildings in the city and these lands, like a gold frame and a | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
beautiful picture, will bring out the beauty of the painting which is | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
our city. But with work not due to start | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
until Autumn, there's not much time to make all | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
these plans a reality by 2017. Tonight I spoke to Steven Bayes from | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
Hull City Council, and asked him where the hoped for 500 jobs would | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
come from. What we're trying to do is ensure | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
that we have The calculations in terms | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
of bringing in more footfall so that more people spend money | :03:08. | :03:15. | |
and we can fund it that way. What is more important, | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
keeping a library or museum opened, or pavement fountains or | :03:20. | :03:27. | |
mood lighting on the City Hall. We have to work with revenue funding | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
which pays people's wages We want to do both | :03:30. | :03:37. | |
but we are limited by the amount of money that is given to us by central | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
government in terms of revenue. We have this capital to invest | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
in the city centre to try Torrential rain caused flash | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
flooding in areas of | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
East Yorkshire this afternoon. Parts of Cottingham were under | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
a foot of water before the fire | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
service was able to pump it away. Here's our correspondent, | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
Paul Murphy. Badgers Wood in Cottingham | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
is no stranger to flooding. Residents were told that that was | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
a one in 200 years event, a prediction that was proved wrong | :04:06. | :04:13. | |
this afternoon. By the time I got wellingtons | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
and things on the water had covered my air bricks and I was looking | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
for them under water. The water just came up to the top | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
of my step We are probably flooded for | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
the second time within seven years. Within 30 minutes | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
of the downpour water was running through the doors of at least four | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
homes in this neighbourhood. In a matter | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
of minutes it was swamped. We managed to keep it | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
in check to stop any other houses flooding but up until now | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
about four or five have flooded. Elsewhere, a town centre cafe owner | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
recorded the moment that The local school was also flooded, | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
as were parts of the Hull University halls of residence where | :04:59. | :05:11. | |
some students could not get out. The waters began to rise | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
and we got trapped. This was a small`scale event, | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
