  • Come back to city centre shopping
    The big name stores seem to be pulling out of city shopping streets, leaving many shopkeepers and businesses wondering what can be done to reinvigorate city centre retail.

    In this podcast, we explore solutions to the perceived decline of high street shopping.

    We hear from confident retailers, an artist and social historian, a Business Rates advisor, and Member of Parliament for Hull West and Hessle Emma Hardy MP.

    There are solutions, as these people and others offer the call for us all to "come back to city centre shopping."

  • We Made This

    Miranda van Rossum (right) founder of We Made This, and fellow crafter Janet Adamson, take stock of the progress of this huge movement of crafters in Hull. From toddlers to centenarians, there are now hundreds of people involved, eager to create and display 'makes'. Their exhibits have been seen across the city, adorning trees at Easter and Christmas, or brightening fences in early spring. They explain to me how sometimes it's the simple little ideas that make the biggest impact.Twitter: https://twitter.com/wemadethishullFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/wemadethishull/
