Hull City Council most improved in country
Hull City Council has been named the most improved council in the country.
The authority picked up the accolade at the Local Government Chronicle awards ceremony in London last night.
-
Reductions in litter, fly-posting and graffiti, a drop in the level of crime and improvements in education were cited as some of the reasons for the award.
City council leader Carl Minns said: "We won't rest on our laurels.
"We are ambitious and will continue to focus on delivering the best for residents – and even more improvements in the coming year."

“Well with Dodgy Colin away from any position of responsibility, Hull CC was always going to improve.”

“So who is responsible for poor education standards in the city? Parents or the Council?
As far as Councils go they are average, but then we only pay average money for them, and lots in Hull dont even pay!”

“If you thought the Hull City council was bad, try living in the e riding and being run by the incompetent bunch at county hall.
Services and amenitied never ever improve and the council tax bills have rocketed over the years, with an increase again this year despite the recession.
Councillors expenses seem to be the only thing that is recession proof”

“Makes me feel sick with anger how these autocratic council people can pat them self¿s on the back when so much needs fixing in this city. Hope they had a nice night on the Joe Public and maybe someone will get elected soon who might take on the real issues e.g. Education! I hope that these people will see how sickening it is from the public¿s point of view and stop congratulating themselves on been one of the best worst improved councils! What a joke! Whatever next ..Minns for president !!!”

“I hope we are the winners, but Rob, can you explain why I keep getting a Lib \ Dem leaflet every 2 weeks telling me I should be worried because the current Government have been responsible for an increase in crime throughout the City”
