Hedon Road, Kingston upon Hull
Nineteen new ‘buzz shelters’ have been installed in the city, all with green roofs designed to provide food and shelter for bees and other pollinating insects at risk from habitat loss. Kingston upon Hull City Council has installed the ecological shelters at bus stops on Hall Road and Hedon Road, replacing shelters that were in poor condition. Further information in Hull News:
