Hull Marina's improvements have been praised by local residents as "wonderful" by locals. The revamp of the promenade on Humber Dock Street began in February last year and the removal of blue hoardings blocking the marina's view was part of a major investment in the city's waterfront, aimed at improving public spaces and attracting more visitors. The work is seen as a significant improvement as business has seen a noticeable increase, with customers reporting a significant increase in business. The improvements have also been praised for their impact on public spaces, with a new underpass between the A63 and the Spurn Lightship opening earlier this month.
