Could anyone on here please tell me if the entrance(anlaby road end)is finished yet everyone i ask they say they dont know, im hoping it isnt it looks bloody awfull!

Think so yes, looks good IMO!

I thought the money had run out/been cut ..................

Well thats what it looks like! them big brown rusty looking things are real welcoming!

I drove past yesterday and I think those are the lights!!

TBH seeing this when I drive in has me anticpating more than the match

I have done a little digging

Its finished







They have achieved the impossible by making a tidy post victorian park look like a scrap yard and in time it will look even worse................. only in Hull

At least we don't have to wait for the new metalwork to rust!

I think it'll have to grow on me. Perhaps it's "wasteland chic", in which case it's ironic and clever at the same time.

Rust is the new black - a building in Leeds that looks rusty won best new buliding in the world last year (I seem to remember)

Thankyou for your comments guys, i was hoping you,d all say no its not finished yet and i would have breathed a sigh of relief, Ill just have to close my eyes and get my son to lead me into the park on friday night and im hoping i wont be comming out as miserable looking as them horrible rusty looking things!!

I have seen some wonderful street and imaginative idea''s in street lightning in recent years.

Blackpool which I thought where stunning




West Park

Makes you want to vomit

do they wont it to turn out like the statue of liberty i.e the rusty colour will go green after so many years?

Looks like someones going to have a giant game of Jenga

There was work going on there when I drove past at 1:30.
Bloody awful, even the Blackpool "things".
Justify the job losses when these things are being put up at daft costs, like them stupid statues in Manchester.

So those pokey out things aren't being painted then? Good Lord it looks like a scrap yard!

Only if they decide to sheath them in beaten copper

regards the rust buckets at the gates of west park.......
i was involved with the manufacture of these beasts and to say they cost a fortune would be an understatement....the council/designers used to visit our premises to observe the construction process and to moniter time etc etc...
i couldnt beleive when they stated that the "monoliths" and the fencing ewre not rusty enough!!!!
hence us having to spray them down with gallons of water to make them more rusty...id advise anyone not to get too close to them or i dread to think what colour your jacket/jeans would be like after an incounter with one....

No chance of taking them away and getting them galvanized then.

With a bit of luck some scrap metal dealer will steal it, what a disaster its so ugly.

A so here is the ultimate proof that our great city is indeed....... run by total soul-less retards. I can't believe the money these utter numpties spend on 'improving' the look of Hull. The blue and white stick with the three wet balls at the top of Spring Bankladesh is bad enough, then theres the open spaces left from the demolishion of LA's, Bonus Electrical's old place near Myton Bridge and of course Boothferry Park (HOW LONG HAS THAT BEEN GONE...ISH ?) and our own beloved Boulevard......... They insult us by giving us some 'artwork' in the form of four lumps of scrap and some blindmans attempt at a mosaic as a replacement to the entrance to West Park. OK i'm no expert on art....but i do have an A level on the subject and understand that everyones perspective on 'art' is vastly different.....BUT.....Even I can agree with most that these lights could do with a damn good rub down and a couple of coats of hammerite.
Soooo if there are any councilers reading this.........
CAN I HAVE MY POLL TAX BACK PLEASE.......COS I THINK YOU'RE BLOODY WASTING MY HARD EARNED CASH IT ON RUBBISH!!!!!
COME AND BUILD ME A RAMP ON THE FRONT OF MY HOUSE......THAT WAY I DONT HAVE TO DRIVE OVER THE GRASS TO PARK MY CAR SAFETLY OFF THE ROAD!!!
CHEERS !

People who agreed to to this gash should be tied to them and stoned.

I hope you're not still paying that, it's been abolished for years Chewie mate!

Its the only time graffiti will be applauded if used on that eye sore!

Where do you start?.Waste of money in this city again.It looks awful.It looks half finished.Unimaginative and most of all the park has lost it's Victorian charm.Very disappointing.

The city of Kingston-Upon-Hull is leading the world in Wasteland Chic. Get with the programme folks or get out, the council has no room for a whining population.
