I have to say that John and I support Hull City using the site for the benefit of sport in the city but we want a solution to the parking problems. Local residents rightly expect their own amenity to protected and we are with them in trying to strike a balance between the needs of residents and Hull City.
The meeting was most useful with the representatives of Hull City approaching the issue in a positive way. As a result they have agreed to -
1. Encourage more sensible parking by people using the site, preferably by parking up the flyover
2. Mark out their car park properly once they have finished working on the drains, this should mean more cars can park on site
3. More importantly, investigate the possibility of extending their car park area, possibly in a strip along the side of the pitches.
We are clearly most keen to see the car park extended but this will depend on funding. Hull City will now look into that option and report back to us.Credit must go to the club for pursuing the issue so positively.
