Gateway - Making Hull a great place to live

Top notch work a hit with residents

Claire Render and her family signed up for Gateway's refurbishment scheme which saw Victorian homes in Newington and St Andrew's being brought back to life.

Homes on Melrose Street have benefitted from new sash windows, front doors, gates, gutters, fascias and down pipes and repainted render.

Claire said: "We used to get a lot of condensation in our windows but since our new ones have been fitted it's gone. I love the traditional sash windows; they make the house look so much better."

The scheme is part of Gateway's programme to revitalise Hull's housing market and turn around neighbourhoods in decline.
