Gateway - Making Hull a great place to live

Moving Up

Malcolm Dawson, one of the first residents to benefit from Gateway's refurbishment programme for Newington and St. Andrew's is delighted with the results.

"We've had all the works done - sash windows, front wall, railings, gates, double glazing, new doors, guttering - even a house number - and it's fantastic!"

"The consultation began in October last year and the major work started in January, but the whole process has been very smooth throughout. The team kept us fully informed, delivered everything they said they'd do with equipment and standards that are top grade"

"You notice such attention to detail - this was a highly skilled workforce using the best materials. Look at it - new sandstone caps, new railings - I'm almost too posh to talk to you now!"

"This is a totally different street now; the whole community has been transformed. That's not just from me - visiting friends and family have commented. People care more, they buy into it. The initial investment may be £7,500 but it must have put double that on the value of the house. We're getting in decorators, and buying new carpets because you feel genuinely proud of what you've got".

"We've lived here for ten years and I can't see us moving."
