Work to resurface footpaths in part of Hull is due to begin on Wednesday.

The scheme will target paths in the city's West Carr area that have suffered wear and tear or been vandalised.

Hull City Council said the improvements were expected to take eight weeks, depending on the weather.

Closures will be in place but access will be maintained for residents at all times.
