Consultation has also taken place with Hull College, on whose land the monument stands as we need approval for the necessary access to perform the work.
We continue to work with the Public Realm and City of Culture team together with the well-known lighting artist Nayan Kulkarni to realise the permanent illumination of the monument. The monument, when lit, will be able to be seen by the public from Queens Gardens in the hours of darkness - currently it is not visible at night to anyone standing in the central or western areas of the Gardens.
The story has been covered in Hull Daily Mail (25th August) and Yorkshire Post (30th August) (see images below).
