Consultation has concluded

Get involved and help create a new vision for the Stepney area of Beverley Road.

The Stepney area of Beverley Road is one of 10 national pilot areas to receive high street accelerator status. This brings funding for the community to establish and start to deliver a vision for change in the area to reinvigorate the high street. What this change looks like is up to the local community, but the work can help to tackle issues such as shop vacancy, anti-social behaviour, traffic or graffiti, or deliver improvements such as community events, green space or seating.

The Stepney area covers Beverley Road, roughly between ASDA in the south and Beverley Road Baths / Dorchester Hotel in the north.

These map shows the investment area (red outline), and the wider communities who use the high street (blue fill).

The Project So Far

The project launched on 15th March 2024 with an ‘Action Week’, which saw the removal of graffiti, street edging and gulley cleaning work (undertaken by the Love Your Street Team), and skips for rubbish throughout the area.

Throughout the week we were joined on litter picks by local residents’, Humberside Police, Humberside Fire and Rescue Service, ReNew, Area Teams and pupils from both Stepney Primary School and Hull Trinity House Academy. An astonishing 47 tonnes of waste, litter and unwanted household items was removed.

What next?

£187k has been allocated to spend on high street improvements between now and 31st March 2025, and a further funding award of £500k has been allocated for green improvements. As a grass-root led project, your opinion is very important to us. The Stepney High Street Accelerator Partnership want to understand the real issues affecting high street users and we are keen to hear your views on what the area needs to make it a better place to live, work, play and shop.
