Your chance to influence planning and employment land in Hull
The Hull Business Forum is supporting Hull City Council on the development of an Employment Land Review which forms part of the long term planning vision for the city (the Hull Development Framework).

Are you prepared for the new smokefree law?
England will become smokefree on Sunday 1st July 2007. The law has been introduced as a method of protecting employees and the public from the harmful effects of second-hand smoke. As a result from the 1st July it will be against the law to smoke in virtually all enclosed public places, workplaces and public and work vehicles.
Your views sought on the availability of business premises in Hull.
Every business in Hull needs to have the right premises in the right place to help them develop and grow. At a recent meeting of the Hull Business Forum Business Advisory Group, members expressed concern about the overall stock of business premises available in Hull is not meeting business needs and the land available for commercial property in Hull is limited. As a result careful, evidence based planning and policy decisions are required, which will take business needs and demand into account.
