Objection

 Humberside Police and local councillors have objected to plans to convert the former Portland Hotel in Hull into a 122-bed HMO

The controversial proposals, which remain under consideration at Hull City Council, have also been criticised by a number of local councillors.

In June, the council received an planning application seeking to breathe new life into the vacant building in Paragon Street in Hull city centre. The submitted plans detail applicant Knight Wood Portfolio Limited’s ambitions to transform the “eyesore” building into a colossal 122-bed house in multiple occupation (HMO).


Welcome to Knight Wood Portfolio's diverse range of investment products, carefully curated to meet the unique financial goals of our investors. Our commitment is not just to provide investment opportunities but to build lasting relationships with our investors and their families for generations to come. At KWP, investor protection and security are our top priorities, aligning with our core mission of addressing the global need for higher and more consistent income levels in the face of declining annuity rates.

Report from Insider Media. 

The building was converted from a hotel to student accommodation in 2013 but the operator experienced financial difficulty and the property was sold at auction in 2018. Following the change of ownership, there were allegations of a fraudulent investment scheme, while the building was also raided by Humberside Police as the first floor was being used as a cannabis factory.

Because of its residential density, form and location the proposal would potentially lead to an increase in crime levels and a fear of crime and anti-social behaviour within the surrounding area.  "This is because of the correlation between houses in multiple occupation (with large numbers of single occupancy) and increases in crime and disorder, and in this case the existing high levels of crime within the St Andrews and Docklands Ward, as confirmed by Humberside Police."

Testing testing

 Keir Starmer

Tens of millions of phones successfully sounded across the country during today’s Emergency Alert test. This is an important step in keeping people safe during national emergencies.

It is a national emergency. You just allowed 1000 illegal invaders to penetrate our non existent border security and they are now free to walk our streets, preying on innocent women and children. As far as you are concerned, it has been a national emergency every day since you set foot in 10 Downing St. and pissing us all off with a loud noise on our phone won’t help. You just need to order the Royal Navy to DEFEND OUR BORDERS! And deport all illegals currently here. It’s really not rocket science.

BREAKING - Shocker of a first full day in office for new Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood after more than 1,000 small boat migrants crossed the Channel illegally on Saturday - a sobering insight into the scale of the challenge she faces. 30,000+ have now crossed so far this year.

Keeping people safe? Seriously? Another 1000 unidentified foreign men arrived here yesterday. You are a liar and a fraud.

Stop dressing this up as "safety." Britain isn't under threat from floods or earthquakes - the real "emergency" in your eyes is the public itself. The alert system isn't about warning people, it's about conditioning them. Conditioning them to accept a state that can intrude on their phones, their speech, their money, their movement - all in the name of "security."
