Alex will discuss the regeneration and what opportunities lie ahead for developers.

Alex Codd Hull City Council

UK Parliament – Emma Hardy MP, Hull West and Hessle

Former shadow minister Emma Hardy has been a Labour MP since 2017, following the snap election called in the spring of that year. Her first campaign as an elected MP was to secure funding for the A63 Castle Street development and prevent any further delays and to ensure the bridge was built as early as possible. Work eventually started in 2018 and following years of delays Murdoch’s Connection – the 22m bridge linking Hull’s city centre and its waterfront and marina – has opened as a part of the larger £355m Castle Street scheme.

ABP Humber – Dafydd Williams, Head of Economic Development

It has been reported that Humber Freeport’s economic benefits should be felt across the whole of Humber and East Riding. Handling 17 per cent of the nation’s trade, the Humber ports play a pivotal role as strategic assets, supplying 10 per cent of the nation’s energy, a quarter of the nation’s fuel, almost a third of the national timber supply. This opportunity will act as a catalyst to accelerate growth across the region, with the potential to create 7,000 new jobs for the Humber.

North Lincolnshire Council – Simon Green, Deputy Chief Executive

As a key regional stakeholder, North Lincolnshire Council sits just south of the Humber Estuary. The announcement of the Humber freeport has created a great opportunity for economic development across both regions, creating thousands of jobs in North Lincolnshire. The council is also actively expanding its own regional economy with projects like the £4.5m highway scheme that will unlock 60 acres of land for commercial development and enable the building of homes. Redeveloping Scunthorpe town centre is another scheme that has the potential to open up the North Lincolnshire economy, looking to benefit from a huge £10.7m redevelopment fund.
