E ast Riding of Yorkshire Council has opposed the Environment Agency’s

proposals to withdraw maintenance of fl ood defences in the East Riding and other rural areas.

Following numerous meetings between the council and Environment Agency over a three month period, the council made an application to the High Court to challenge the publication of the six Catchment Flood Management Plans (CFMPs) which affect the East Riding as it was not possible to reach agreement on the issues in dispute.

Despite the Environment Agency’s offer to further consult it was only prepared to allow this to take place on those parts of the six CFMPs which fall within the East Riding boundary and not on any part which lies outside the area. In the view of the council this was particularly important as the main rivers drain into the East Riding and the proposals can have a bearing on the volume of water fl owing into the area. The Environment Agency at that time was also insistent that the parts of the CFMPs which fall outside of the East Riding should be published in June before the fresh consultation had begun.

In a separate but related development, the Environment Agency has now informed authorities of its intention to develop policies on the withdrawal of maintenance from certain fl ood defence assets.

Councillor Stephen Parnaby OBE, leader of the council, said: “The council’s cabinet has now considered the Environment Agency’s proposals and resolved to oppose them in the strongest terms as they direct future investment to urban areas at the expense of the East Riding and other rural areas.

“We will be making strong representations to the Yorkshire Regional Flood Defence Committee prior to their next meeting on 9 July.

“We are contacting local MPs to ask them to help facilitate a meeting at ministerial level so that we can put the case for protecting the East Riding.”

The council also has concerns about the impact of the CFMPs in and around Goole where the fi ve main rivers meet.

“The Environment Agency has offered to start again on the

consultation with the council and the public on the whole of the six CFMPs on the understanding that there would be no publication until this process has been completed.

“Whilst this was a welcome start the council is concerned that at the same time this was taking place the Environment Agency submitted reports to the last meeting of the Yorkshire Regional Flood Defence Committee at the end of April seeking support for a policy to withdraw maintenance from the rural parts of the committee’s area including the East Riding.

“This is of course now being challenged.”

EAST RIDING NEWS JULY 2009 3

Don’t be caught out by doorstep conmen

T he council’s trading standards service is warning that doorstep conmen are

out and about in the East Riding.

Typically, residents answering the unexpected knock at the door will be met by someone offering to sell them goods, tidy the garden, or surface their driveway at an unbelievable price with material left over from another job.

Doorstep traders can use aggressive and intimidating sales tactics and they often target vulnerable people,

in particular the elderly. The quality of some of the work has also been found to be poor with problems often coming to light after the trader has disappeared without trace. There have also been instances where the fi nal price demanded for the job is way above the original quote given.

What most customers do not realise is that, if the goods or services they buy at their doorstep cost £35 or more, they are entitled to a written notice of cancellation rights giving them at least seven days in which to cancel the contract. This notice must be given at the time the contract is agreed and the failure by the trader to give this is an offence and will give the resident some idea of their legitimacy.

Councillor Jane Evison, portfolio holder for public protection, said: “Trading standards working with Humberside Police are taking a proactive approach in dealing with rogue doorstep traders. However this in itself will not be enough to stop all instances of this disreputable type of trading so it is important that residents know their rights and are not afraid to refuse offers of goods and services by door to door salesmen.”

Anyone who has concerns about door to door sellers of goods or services or who requires further information about their right to cancel contracts should contact Consumer Direct on 08454 040506 as soon as possible.

MORE than 160 suggestions have been put forward after residents were asked to come up with names for Beverley’s new southern relief road.

The 1.6 mile road has been designed to reduce traffi c and congestion in and around the centre of Beverley. It will link the A164 at the Morrisons roundabout

with the A1174 Hull Road, near Figham.

In May’s edition of East Riding News, readers were asked to come up with names for the new road.

Residents suggested fi gures from history ranging from the ancient to the recent, as well as people who are alive today.

Other possible inspirations

for names include local geography, former barracks, the Minster and religious fi gures of all sorts.

While most entries described the route using the word Way, other popular descriptions were Road, Gate and Bypass.

A panel will now be convened to pick a winner from the 163 suggestions.

Helping you to close the door on rogue traders

• always think before you agree to buy

• always obtain at least three quotations to make sure you are getting value for money

• always leave yourself time to think about it

• always use a security chain when opening the door

• always check the credentials of any callers; when in doubt do not open the door - genuine callers will allow you time to check their credentials

• always obtain the name, address and contact details of traders before entering into an agreement, verify if possible.

ADVICE FROM TRADING STANDARDS

Trading standards offer the following advice to residents to avoid being caught out by unscrupulous traders:

LEADING LINESLEADER OF THE COUNCIL COUNCILLOR STEPHEN PARNABY OBE

IT is just over one year since the newly refurbished Spa in Bridlington opened its doors to customers old and new. Its fi rst year has been a tremendous success with several new and high profi le events, none more so than the Yorkshire International Business Convention, which was held there for the fi rst time in early June.

The convention originally started at its single venue in Harrogate some 15 years ago. Six years ago local businessman, Paul Sewell, persuaded its organiser, Mike Firth, to run a parallel event in Hull. The event is a full day for leading business people in Yorkshire and the Humber region to network and hear from inspirational speakers. For its fi rst fi ve years in this area the convention has been held at the excellent facilities of the Gemtec Arena and the KC Stadium. However, this year the organisers decided to take it on the road after being impressed by the new facilities at The Spa. Previous conventions have heard from world class speakers, such as former US presidents George Bush senior and Bill Clinton, Rudi Guiliani, President Gorbachev, F W de Klerk, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Jesse Jackson, Sir Bob Geldof KBE, and several others. All speakers perform at both venues and are fl own between them by helicopter.

This year’s convention included an array of speakers all giving the message ‘can do’. Starting the day off was Tim Sanders, business guru and formerly of Nokia, followed by Matthew Pritchard, who is better known as MATT the pocket cartoonist of the Daily Telegraph. The morning session concluded with Tim Smit, founder of the Eden Project, and Dave Stewart of Eurythmics fame, who is one of the most respected people in the music industry. The afternoon session saw round the world sailor Tracey Edwards and fi nally the speaker that needed no introduction, John Cleese.

The feedback for the event from both the organisers and the delegates has been tremendous. The venue and its staff lived up to the new reputation of being one of the fi nest venues in the country, leaving a huge impression.

It was a great day for The Spa Bridlington and the East Riding and it was one of many prestigious events I am sure that the new venue will attract.

Thank you to refuse collectorsI would like to express my thanks for the service that the dustbin men in Holme-on-Spalding-Moor provide.

They are incredibly helpful, efficient and friendly.

Our bins are always emptied on time and left tidily out of the way on the pavement, also anything that spills out is cleared up.

Whenever we see them in the village they always have a friendly wave and a smile for my two-year-old son and are always happy to let him see what they are doing.

They do a difficult job in a cheery way and it is a delight to have such a great service.

Bethany Jenkins, Holme-on-Spalding-Moor

Cutting out plastic bags We are being urged to cut our use of plastic bags.

We are also told to put our washed and squashed cans and flattened bottles in a plastic bag before placing in the blue bin.

I realise that the cans and bottles must be kept separate from the paper when recycling, but can the council please suggest an alternative to using plastic bags when adding cans and bottles to the blue bin?

Is it practical to have the paper collected in alternate visits to the cans and bottles?

That way, we could add them to the bin loose, without needing bags.

Chris Finn, Beverley

Dear Mr FinnWe collect paper, plastic bottles and cans in one collection round from the blue bins, which is both financially and environmentally more efficient.

Dear Mr and Mrs LaidlawUsing the council’s existing vehicles to collect paper, cans and plastics on Fridays is the most cost effective and environmentally sustainable option.

One collection a month is adequate for most households, although a larger blue bin can be ordered by calling (01482) 393939.

We are planning the expansion of our kerbside collection of recyclables next year, following our consultation with residents last year.

North Bar anniversary What a wonderful idea to mark the 600th anniversary of North Bar in Beverley.

What a pity the photograph on the front page of the June issue of East Riding News taken of the event organising committee dressed in ‘Mikadoesque’ costume was in front of Beverley Minster and not ‘North Bar’ which I consider along with Holy Trinity Church in Hull to be the best example of medieval brickwork in the country.

Burnt clay bricks were hardly, if ever, used in Britain after the Romans departed until in the late 14th century bricks were brought over from Holland as ballast in sailing ships with our increasing export trade to the Continent.

Hull, being a major port, saw a lot of bricks being stacked up on the quayside so the East of Yorkshire benefited from this early use of brickwork.

A photograph of this respected monument to the skill of the medieval masons who built North Bar would I am sure have been more appropriate as a front page eyecatcher for a great number of East Riding residents, many of whom, I dare say, are unaware of the importance of this medieval gem.

T E Norton, Pocklington

School’s Out Thank you very much for the School’s Out supplement which was delivered with the June East Riding News.

It is really difficult to think of new and exciting activities for children to take part in during the school holidays.

I can’t believe there is so much going on! I’m only sorry I’m too old for the Hairspray dance workshop!

I have cut out the activity planner and stuck it up on the notice board and together with my eight year old and 11 year old we will have a look at what’s on offer and get booking.

Mrs Hughes, Beverley

Tour of Britain I was delighted to read that the Tour of Britain will be coming through the East Riding for the second year running.

We both enjoyed watching it last year immensely and look forward to finding out exactly where the race will pass through this time.

It’s such a shame that the first stage can’t start in the East Riding but I suppose we should be grateful that the Yorkshire and Humber region is getting national and indeed international exposure.

Roll on 12 September!

J Staples, via email

To separate out the paper would require a further collection round, with all the attendant costs, as well as an additional bin.

For this reason we ask that cans and plastic bottles are put in a plastic bag so that the paper does not get wet and contaminated.

Many of our residents use just one large plastic bag and then wash and squash the cans and plastic to squeeze it all in.

These materials can also be taken to bring sites at local supermarkets and car parks.

We offer free black boxes for storing them until you have enough to make one trip.

You can obtain a black box by calling the council on (01482) 393939.

John Skidmore, head of streetscene services

Blue bins I would like to know why our blue bins are only

emptied once a month on a Friday.With all the junk mail and newspapers we get

plus using a lot of milk in cartons it would help if you come once a week or fortnightly. We are both disabled old age pensioners.

£25Letter


Y oung people and children along with their parents and carers

have plenty to smile about in Anlaby and Beverley. The council has secured £1.5 million from the Department for Children, Schools and Families.

The money, from the co-location fund, will provide vital funding for work on two campuses, Anlaby Primary School and Swinemoor Primary School in Beverley. It will enable a wide range of services for families to be based together to improve the co-ordination of those services.

The Anlaby project will receive £300,000 to extend the children’s centre, due to be completed in March 2010. Family support services, children’s social care services, school staff and health visitors will all be based there.

A total of £1.2 million will go to the Beverley Swinemoor project to redevelop parts of the school campus. Facilities on the school site will be improved and it will enable family support, children’s

social care services and child and adolescent mental health staff to work more closely with the school and children’s centre.

Councillor Penny Peacock, portfolio holder for children, young people and schools, said: “This will mean that even more

facilities and services can be offered to even more families.”

Alison Waller, director of children, family and adult services, said: “The allocation of the co-location funding is excellent news for the East Riding. It is part of our ongoing commitment to integrate

our services for children and young people. The opportunity to base key children’s workers together in the same building will make a huge difference in terms of improving communication and understanding of how other services work.”

ConsultationUpdate

Helping people achieve independence

R esidents who need adult social care support are

now able to arrange their own care through an individual budget provided by the council. Already, 40 people in the Haltemprice area have gone onto the new scheme and are choosing how their own support is provided.

Ray and Sue Stimpson use

their budget to choose their own carers to support Mr Stimpson while his wife is at work.

Mrs Stimpson said: “We are delighted to be part of this scheme. Having an individual budget means I can carry on working, safe in the knowledge that my husband is being well cared for and supported to do the things he enjoys. The staff have been really helpful and made the process very easy for us.”

The East Riding Local Strategic Partnership (LSP), which brings together public, private, voluntary and community organisations, has set a target in its Local Area

Agreement to support older and vulnerable people to live independently.

The scheme rolls out in the Goole area from mid July and to the rest of the East Riding during the next 12 months. Those taking part will be assessed and given an individual budget either to arrange their own support or request the council to arrange it for them. Unpaid carers can now also receive some support to allow them to continue caring and around 200 have already successfully applied for this.

Councillor Richard Harrap, portfolio holder for adult and carer services, said:

“The transformation team is working hard to help residents and their carers to work through their options, offering advice and assistance, whilst ensuring they are safe and secure.”

Lesley Dearing, transformation manager, said: “We have started carefully with one team area, taking account of safeguarding and making sure we get the process right for people. We are very pleased by the initial response.”

For more information, please call the transformation team on (01482) 392232 or email [email protected]

Working together to transform adult social care

THIS year, the refurbished Spa Bridlington played host for the fi rst time to the Yorkshire International Business Convention, the annual event held across two sites, one of which is the Yorkshire Event Centre in Harrogate.

The event was attended by 650 of the region’s top business people,

who witnessed a packed programme of the very best speakers, all focusing on a common aim and theme with the heading ‘Can do!’.

Among the speakers was John Cleese, famous as the irascible hotel owner Basil Fawlty in the TV comedy hit series, who has also worked extensively in the areas of business management and

psychology.Councillor Stephen Parnaby

OBE, leader of the council, said: “I am delighted that The Spa Bridlington attracted this very prestigious event for the fi rst time and hopefully it will return again next year.

“The event was deemed a huge success by all involved including organisers, speakers and delegates.”

Cyclists hit the streets

T elevision cameras from British Eurosport will follow some of the nation’s top

cyclists as they compete on the streets of Beverley.

The British Cycling National Elite Circuit Race Championships and the East Yorkshire Classic Race will be held on Friday 24 and Sunday 26 July.

Councillor Jane Evison, portfolio holder for cultural services, housing and public protection, said: “I am delighted to welcome these events back

to the East Riding, with the promise of some challenging cycling in beautiful landscape. I am sure thousands of residents and visitors to the town will enjoy watching these athletes compete.”

Race media chief, Michael Boyle, said: “The weekend boosts local businesses and protects tourism-related jobs. It has been calculated that the event is worth £250,000 to the local economy.”

Eight events over three days will start with four events on Friday including a fi ve kilometre athletics race at 6pm and the National Elite Championships at 7.45pm, which will see 70 top cyclists, including Olympic medallists, race around Beverley for 70 minutes.

On Saturday, the Hull Thursday Road Club runs three circular sportif

or touring rides from Beverley, with a choice of 60km, 100km or 160km courses. Organisers are hoping that 500 cyclists will take part this year.

Sunday will see around 140 racers, 50 support vehicles and motorcyclists line up at 10am in New Walk for the East Yorkshire Classic. The race through the Wolds is part of the elite British Cycling Halfords Premier Calendar series.

It has support from main sponsor East Riding of Yorkshire Council as well as Humberside Police, Beverley Town Council and local companies.

Entries to all the cycling events may be made at www.eastyorkshireclassic.co.uk/nationals, which provides route details and timings.

The Tour of Britain is set to pass through the East Riding for the second year in a row.

After the success of last year’s race, residents and visitors will once again have the chance to see top cyclists compete on East Riding roads.

Councillor Jane Evison, portfolio holder for cultural services, housing and public protection at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “It was wonderful to see the Tour of Britain come through the East Riding of Yorkshire last year. The race attracted a lot of attention and people lined the roads to see it. I am sure they will all be as pleased as I am to hear that the race will come through the East Riding again this year.”

This year the fi rst stage of the race will be the Yorkshire and The Humber Leg. It will run from Scunthorpe to York on Saturday, 12 September.

Riders are expected pass through the East Riding along roads including the A161, B1228, B1246 and B1248. They will ride through both Goole and Pocklington and will pass close to Driffi eld.

How to increase recyclingTHE blue bin at your door is one of the most effi cient ways to recycle paper, plastic and cans.

The East Riding’s blue bin scheme collected and recycled 15,000 tonnes of paper, plastic bottles and cans during the 12 months to April.

That is an impressive 300 tonnes

every week collected from the blue bins.The scheme covers all the households in the East

Riding. The bins are provided free of charge and collected every four weeks.

For a blue bin, call the customer services network on (01482) 393939.

Use this guide to increase the amount of items you put in your blue bin for recycling

PaperThe paper to put into your blue bin includes newspapers, white envelopes, junk mail and directories.

Wrap shredded paper in newspaper or put it in paper bags to stop it clogging the rollers in the paper mill.

Plastics and cansPlastic bottles and metal cans and tins can also go in the blue bin, but fi rst put them in a plastic bag to stop the paper getting wet and being spoiled.

Before putting the plastic bottles and cans in the bag, wash and squash them.

The plastics to go into the blue bins are usually bottle shaped, like those for shampoo, milk, washing up liquid.

Turn them over and on the bottom will be the numbers 1,2 or 3 in a triangle.

Reminder servicesYOU can subscribe to receive a text or email reminder to put out the blue bin the night before the collection round.

For an email reminder, sign up by accessing the MyEastriding information service on the council’s homepage on www.eastriding.gov.uk

Target 45+

2008 2009

New 34 per cent recycle rate

East Riding residents are getting closer to achieving Target 45+ while also managing to reduce their

waste.

In the 12 months to April, 34 per cent of all household waste collected in East Riding was recycled or composted, compared with last year’s fi gure of 33 per cent.

This refers to all the waste recycled and composted from the blue and brown bins and from the council’s ten household waste recycling sites.

The result was that 60,490 tonnes of waste was kept out of landfi ll, compared with the previous year’s fi gure of 57,000 tonnes.

East Riding households, though, are each still producing about 802kg of waste.

The Target 45+ campaign, to get every East Riding household to recycle and compost 45 per cent of their waste, will benefi t from the roll out of the brown bins, which should be concluded by October.

In April, 1,360 tonnes of garden waste was collected from the brown bins compared with the 340 tonnes collected

in April last year from the trial rounds.Councillor Symon Fraser, portfolio

holder for environmental issues, waste, recycling, strategic highways and planning, said: “Increasing the amounts we recycle while, at the same time, reducing the waste we produce are real achievements.

“The council continues to look at ways to help residents recycle even more.

“This includes increasing the range of materials for recycling at the household waste recycling sites, and considering schemes for batteries, cardboard and food waste systems.”

The new recycling fi gures are subject to confi rmation after being audited.

THE council is encouraging young people taking part in the Lifestyle Challenge to consider recycling schemes, waste awareness campaigns or projects like swap shops.

The Lifestyle Challenge, run by Humberside Police, aims to get those aged between ten and 16 working in teams to undertake projects that benefi t the community.

The challenge is an alternative to summer boredom and makes a positive contribution to the community while increasing contact between young people and the police.

The prizes include a trip to Disney World, Florida, and adventure holidays in France. The council’s waste and recycling team is sponsoring a day at Flamingo Land as one of the prizes.

Teams requiring advice on recycling projects or for assistance with projects involving litter collections or waste disposal should call the council’s recycling hotline on (01482) 395586.

Young people in Bridlington and Driffi eld are having their imaginations

fi red by a course which will help to boost their qualifi cations and teach them about safety.

Four groups of 12 teenagers from the area have the chance to learn about fi re safety from seasoned Humberside Fire and Rescue Service offi cers during the BTEC Level 2 in the Fire and Rescue Service in the Community.

The teenagers will be developing an understanding of the range of team and personal skills, knowledge and understanding along with the associated hazards and risks that are essential aspects of the work of the fi re and rescue service.

The pilot scheme, designed to help the children in question gain a more vocationally based qualifi cation, came

to Bridlington and Driffi eld through the local action team (LAT), which started work in November.

Councillor Richard Burton, the chair of the team, is confi dent that the initiative with the fi re service will be very positive for the children taking part.

He said: “The benefi t for the children is that it can help them to engage more, so that their general schooling will improve. By the end of it they have a BTEC qualifi cation and have learnt new skills that will last them a long time.”

The team is also working to recruit more people to the fi rst responder scheme, which saves lives in rural areas. Volunteers are trained to provide medical attention before paramedics arrive.

NHS East Riding of Yorkshire approached the LAT to recruit more people to work alongside the ambulance service.

The LAT is also holding

regular street surgeries, which see team members visit residents to talk about issues affecting local communities.

Before each street surgery cards are posted through residents’ doors. The cards can be put in a front-facing window to guarantee a visit from the team.

Councillor Burton said: “The model we are using has been piloted by the Advance Bridlington scheme and has been so successful that we’ve taken it further to other areas. While people can always come to us with issues, it’s also important that we go to them. We can then work with our partners and ward members to help resolve any problems as soon as possible.”

Anyone who has an issue which they think the team might be able to help with is asked to contact the LAT offi cer Denise Cowling on (01262) 606692.

If you would like to fi nd out more about LATs in your area please contact Paul Drury, principal local action offi cer, on (01482) 391432 or email [email protected]

Six local action teams (LATs) have been set up throughout the East Riding to encourage individuals and groups to be more involved in decisions made about the public services they receive. The project started in April 2008 with the creation of two LATs to cover Goole and Howdenshire, and Holderness. In June, a further two were started for Haltemprice and Hunsley, and the Beverley area. The fi nal two, for Bridlington and Driffi eld, and Market Weighton

and Pocklington, started work in November and December 2008. Teams talk with and involve local people in the issues in their area, and in improving the quality of life in communities throughout the East Riding. The teams include representatives from the police, fi re and health sectors, East Riding Voluntary Action Service, the council and other relevant partners, all pulling together to provide the best for residents of the East Riding.

Councillor Richard Burton, East Riding of Yorkshire CouncilTel: (01759) 377519Email: [email protected]“There are two sides to the local action team, problem solving and community engagement. I am keen to fi nd new and creative ways of engaging with the community and to identify and help the more hard to reach groups in society.“By working with partners we are able to bring extra weight to help resolve long standing problems in the community.”

Allen Cunningham, Humberside Fire and Rescue ServiceTel: (01482) 398533Email: acunningham@humbersidefi re.gov.uk“The local action team is a partnership which recognises that community problems are better solved with a group approach that bring partners together sharing expertise and resources to achieve a common goal of making the East Riding a more pleasant and safer place to live work and play.”

Inspector Mark Coulthard,Humberside PoliceTel: 0845 6060 222Email: [email protected]“The local action team is a forum where partners from police, fi re and rescue, council ward members, health, voluntary services and young people representatives can discuss issues that each have and come up with solutions for the benefi t of the local community. Resources can be linked together, reducing duplication and we all work towards one aim - to make the East Riding even better and safer than it already is.”

Inspector Steve Jackson, Humberside PoliceTel: 0845 6060 222Email: [email protected]“The local action team for this area is proving to be an effective way of bringing together partner agencies and representatives from the community, who have the resources and infl uence to make a difference. “I view the local action team as the future with working practices between the agencies and the voluntary sector becoming more cohesive and the team being an essential part of fi nding meaningful and long lasting solutions to many community issues. “So far I have represented Bridlington on the group as the local neighbourhood inspector, but when I retire from the police in July my successor will be Inspector Richard Kirven and he will take my place as part of the local action team.”

Louise Norton, NHS East Riding of YorkshireTel: (01482) 672093Email: [email protected] “NHS East Riding of Yorkshire recently outlined its plans to deliver the best health care for the East Riding based around the health needs of our rural communities.“Working in partnership with other local public services and residents through the local action teams is essential to help us recognise the specifi c needs of people living in both the Bridlington and Driffi eld areas, to ensure we provide services that are right for them.”


Debate gives insight into views on booze

A lmost 1,000 people from the East Riding had their say in the

Yorkshire and Humberside Great Drink Debate.

Of those who took part from the East Riding around seven per cent claimed to be teetotallers, while 12 per cent admitted daily drinking and 31 per cent said that they drank only once a week.

The fi gures showed that 72 per cent of people now buy alcohol in supermarkets to drink at home. Only 40 per cent of people said that they regularly buy alcohol in pubs

or clubs.When asked what they like about

alcohol, 58 per cent of people felt that alcohol helps them to relax, 54 per cent agreed that it goes well with food and 40 per cent thought that drinking makes socialising more fun.

The survey also looked at some of the things people do not like about alcohol. In total, 60 per cent of people in the East Riding thought that alcohol caused anti-social behaviour and 57 per cent felt worried by the drunken behaviour of others. Of those asked, 47 per cent thought it led to alcohol-related crime.

Councillor Jane Evison, portfolio holder for cultural services, housing and public protection at East Riding of Yorkshire Council,

said: “Almost 1,000 people in the East Riding took part in The Great Drink Debate at the end of last year, indicating just how many people in this area are keen to fi nd out more about drinking habits and help us establish what the issues may be.

“The results of the survey will help us to understand why people think they need alcohol and what they believe needs to be done to counter the binge drinking and associated anti-social behaviour.

“The results will be used to help shape local alcohol strategies and, at a regional level, to develop a social marketing campaign to tackle the problem of alcohol misuse and anti-social behaviour.”

When asked to think about who should tackle alcohol-related problems, most of those taking

part pointed towards central government, the alcohol industry and retailers.

Popular measures included tightening up sales of alcohol to underage drinkers, banning TV advertising of alcohol and reducing the price of non-alcoholic drinks in pubs and clubs.

Only 59 per cent of East Riding residents thought that stiffer penalties should be imposed for drink driving offences, a measure which gained popular approval in other areas.

The council, police and schools were all thought to have some responsibility for tackling alcohol-related problems, but fewer people felt that health services should be doing more to persuade people to cut down their drinking.

Drinking habits in the East Riding put on the table

ON Saturday 1 August, Yorkshire Day will be celebrated across the county. This year the East Riding event will be held in Hessle.

THE council’s latest business plan is available online at www.eastriding.gov.uk

This three-year plan which sets out how all council services should be provided has been reviewed to make sure actions taken will help improve the quality of life for the community.

Actions should also help to earn the respect of the people served by the council and build pride in belonging to the East Riding.

Within the document, specifi c

plans for each council service set out how they will live up to this vision.

Information in the council’s medium-term fi nancial strategy has been used to create the plan, detailing from where funding needed to provide council services will come.

This October, the council will publish a summary of performance in 2008/09. This will show residents how it is performing against national

indicators and its own local priorities.

W hile the equipment shown here is

never popular if it causes a short delay to a journey, it is easy to forget that surface dressing is essential to protect the road thus preventing increased costs, more delays and collisions in the longer term.

Every year the council’s streetscene services’ highway maintenance team undertakes a large programme of surface dressing. This seals the road

surface, preventing water damage and deterioration. It also restores roads’ skid resistance, improving road safety.

The fi rst step in surface dressing is patching, which removes the defective surface and replaces it with new material.

Next, surface dressing sees a layer of gritstone chippings laid over a layer of hot bitumen and then forced together by a roller.

The fi nal part of the process is done by slow moving traffi c travelling over the surface at under 20mph. The road is then swept to remove the loose chippings before new road markings are put down.

Councillor Matthew Grove, portfolio holder for highway maintenance, streetscene and emergency planning, said: “This year the team has a mammoth

task as around 75 miles of road, equivalent to more than 145 football pitches, will be treated. This is the largest programme of surface dressing undertaken for many years.

“We are increasing our focus on surface dressing as we believe it is the most cost effective treatment to extend the life of our huge road network. Cutting down on this essential maintenance would be a false economy as repairs would cost more in the end.

“A new chipping spreader and a new multi-tyred roller have been bought to help the team work more effi ciently with less wastage and fewer delays. The machines are also able to travel faster between the 160 sites to be treated this year.”

THE nearest case of swine fl u is in Hull but residents are reminded to be vigilant.

Dr Tim Allison, director of public health for NHS East Riding of Yorkshire and East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “The most important thing that people can do to help stop the spread of swine fl u is focus on good hygiene. Use a tissue to catch coughs and sneezes, dispose of tissues in a bin and wash

hands properly with soap and water to kill the germs.”

Swine fl u is a respiratory illness caused by the type A fl u (H1N1) virus. The latest outbreaks around the world have been caused by a new strain of the virus. Transmission of this new virus is thought to occur in the same way as seasonal fl u and most reported cases in the UK have been mild.

Anyone with concerns, should

call the swine fl u information line on 0800 1513 512 or visit www.nhs.uk or www.direct.gov.uk where they will fi nd advice and guidance for people who have recently visited Mexico or another affected area, as well as advice for people who want to take steps to protect themselves and their family. If a person has fl u-like symptoms, they should stay at home and contact NHS Direct on 0845 4647 or phone their GP.

Continued vigilance and good hygiene

£44,000 investment proves a huge success

Y oung people in Bridlington are benefi ting from a

£44,000 council grant to develop their club premises.

Work on the Bridlington Club for Young People in Thorpe Street is now complete and the offi cial opening will be on 15 July.

The club now offers a range of sporting and IT based facilities. The work included modernising the sports halls; developing an IT suite; and installing a kitchen and meeting rooms.

A lift has been installed that makes the club compliant with the Disability Discrimination Act 1995, with all areas of the club accessible.

Councillor Stephen Parnaby OBE, leader of the council, said: “The club is a shining example of community spirit and much of the credit goes to the volunteers who

run it, many of whom attended as youngsters.

“It now provides more opportunities for young people to socialise as well as enjoying sports like boxing and basketball. It also gives residents’ groups and organisations somewhere to meet.”

He added: “The new IT suite enables young people to carry out job searches, write their CVs and gain qualifi cations. The suite can also be used by local groups for computer based courses.”

The grant was provided

by the Advance Bridlington Neighbourhood Programme, funded through the Safer and Stronger Communities Fund (SSCF) working with partners, including the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), to improve the quality of life for residents in Bridlington South.

During the opening ceremony, a plaque will be unveiled in memory of Dennis Harper who, for many years, dedicated his time and energy to the benefi t of the young people who attended the club.

Facilities upgraded at the Bridlington Club for Young People

STAMFORD Bridge in Bloom celebrated the opening of a footpath, completing a two-mile circular walk around the river in the village, in grand style by holding a Family Fun Day. The path was constructed as a result of a grant from BBC Breathing Places. It features spectacular views of the local countryside and contains many natural habitats. Matt Brash, the local TV vet, offi cially opened the

path during the afternoon.The fun day, held last month,

included events designed to introduce people to nature including bird walks and a ‘mini beast safari’. The local school entertained with African drumming and a Dixieland Band kept up the lively atmosphere. The local scouts put on a sponsored duck race on the River Derwent and Minster falconry completed the entertainment. The event attracted some 800 people.

IN BRIEFParking review

The series of roadshows held over the last few weeks to explain the proposals of the council’s car parking review panel and give residents across the East Riding an opportunity to have their say has now concluded.Councillor Felicity Temple, chair of the car parking review panel, said: “I would like to thank all residents who took the time and trouble to visit the roadshows. Some of the sessions were well attended and the panel now has a signifi cant amount of work to do looking at all the comments before fi nalising our report.“In due course the fi nal report will be considered by the cabinet and full council and I should stress that at this stage no decisions have been made.”

Water works Yorkshire Water will be carrying out

essential works to underground water mains in Keldgate, Beverley, between Monday, 3 August and Friday, 21 August. During this period the road will have to be closed.Unfortunately, these essential works will inevitably cause serious congestion and delays during peak traffi c periods. A diversion route through the town will be in place and access for residents and pedestrians will be maintained at all times.During this period, the council’s highway department will take advantage of the road closure and carry out essential maintenance works.For further information please call the highways customer care line on 0845 600 1666 or Yorkshire Water on 0845 124 2424.

EAST RIDING NEWS JULY 200914 EAST RIDING NEWS JULY 2009 15

Environment Agency’s policy will leave the East Riding at risk of further severe fl ooding

The council opposes the Environment Agency’s proposed fl ood management and protection plan

• The proposal to withdraw maintenance from rural areas

The Environment Agency appear to have based their proposals on how best to use their resources to maximise the reduction in the number of homes fl ooded.

• The proposal to abandon the fl ood defences along parts of the River Hull and sacrifi cing some 1,200 hectares of agricultural land at Leven Carrs to become a fl ood plain

This approach would be mirrored in other rural areas such as the land to the south of Goole and South Holderness with the withdrawal of maintenance.

One argument from the Environment Agency, other than reducing expenditure, for their approach to the East Riding appears to be sacrifi cing maintenance in the upper reaches of the Hull catchment combined with the managed fl ooding of the Carrs land in the middle catchment and the decision to stop pumping in rural areas would reduce the risk of fl ooding to the city of Hull.

In the view of the council, the drainage system barely coped with the fl oods of 2007. Arguably the pumping infrastructure came within minutes of succumbing to the fl ood water. During the same event, the waters from the Holderness drain system began to creep into the city along the eastern fringes. It is also known that the Beverley and Barmston drain found its way back into the village area of Cottingham at a rate greater than the Hull sewerage system was able to cope with. The council believes Environment Agency’s proposals are likely to increase the risk of fl ooding

to the city.The impact of the fl oods of 2007

suggests that the current drainage system could be overwhelmed. The effect of fl ooding will very likely reduce the effectiveness of other drainage systems in the area. These include agricultural land drainage systems and public sewerage systems. This may also have public health implications.

• The proposal to reduce pumping capacity by up to 40 per cent in rural areas

In times of rainfall fl ooding will be much more severe than that already seen.

• The proposal to abandon the upper defences

The Environment Agency has suggested that the landowners can maintain defences should they wish to do so. This appears to be unsustainable. Relying on individual owners may result in breaches and failures leading to abandonment and loss of use of agricultural land with obvious economic implications.

In the long term it is believed that by allowing the encroachment of water inland on such a large scale will increase the risk to urban areas such as Hull and will eventually impact on Selby and Doncaster.

T he Environment Agency’s proposal to withdraw maintenance of fl ood

management assets in rural areas was lodged with the Yorkshire Regional Flood Defence (YRFD) Committee a couple of months ago.

The YRFD Committee has deferred consideration of the matter in order to consult local authorities including the East Riding and is due to consider the Environment Agency’s proposals at its meeting later this month.

Councillor Stephen Parnaby OBE, leader of the council, said: “Whilst the Environment Agency did

concede that it needed to start again and undertake fresh and meaningful consultations, it is still proposing a strategy that fails to protect rural areas like the East Riding and leaves thousands of homes at risk, not to mention prime farmland on which the local economy depends.

“The council’s cabinet has resolved to oppose the Environment Agency’s proposals in the strongest terms and we are seeking a meeting with local MPs to urge them to help to arrange a meeting at ministerial level where we can present the case for protecting the East Riding.

“It is completely unacceptable that all future investment in fl ood defences should be directed to urban areas at the expense of the

East Riding and other rural areas. This is one of the most serious issues we have ever faced.”

The council believes the Environment Agency’s proposals are inequitable to the East Riding. Apart from Hull, more properties were subject to fl ooding in the East Riding (over 6,000) than anywhere else in the country. The Environment Agency’s approach leaves the East Riding unprotected simply because some of the properties at risk are dispersed over a wide area. Moreover, much of the land at risk of fl ooding is prime farmland so the proposals also adversely impact on the local economy.

The East Riding acts as both a drainage basin and source of water

supply for many other areas, so it is all the more inequitable that our area stands to lose existing levels of investment as well as receiving no benefi t from the additional national investment in fl ood protection.

The Environment Agency’s proposals are unfair as the council and local communities already pay signifi cant levies both to the agency and the internal drainage boards for fl ood protection. Nor is there any recognition that proper fl ood defences make sound fi nancial sense as the costs of repairing infrastructure damaged by fl ooding are enormous. In the East Riding, the disastrous fl oods in June 2007 cost £45 million to the public purse let alone the costs to individual

householders.Hand in hand with the

Environment Agency’s proposals, there is also a worrying threat of local consultation and decision making being further eroded as the proposed Water Bill, intended by the Pitt fl ooding review to achieve transfer of major responsibility to local authorities, has in fact been drafted in such a way that proposals on fl ood defences can be put in place without decisions by anyone other than the Environment Agency. Those affected will have no say.

Councillor Jonathan Owen, the council’s deputy leader, represents the East Riding on the Yorkshire Regional Flood Defence Committee. He said: “It is diffi cult enough to

get the voice of the East Riding heard on a committee which is overwhelmingly dominated by representatives from the urban, heavily populated areas of Yorkshire. But it would be even worse and completely at odds with local democracy if the committee is just reduced to an advisory role.”

Environment Agency fl ood zone

APRIL 2009• A report setting out a formal proposal

for the withdrawal of maintenance of fl ood management in rural areas to better support investment in urban areas was submitted to the Yorkshire Regional Flood Defence Committee (YRFDC) by the Environment Agency on 30 April.

MAY • Further reports by the Environment

Agency on the same topic have

identifi ed that key objectives for future investment are geared towards local authorities with high density housing even if overall within those authorities a lesser number of houses had been subject to fl ooding than in other authorities less densely populated.

JUNE• The YRFDC deferred consideration of

the proposal until 9 July 2009 to allow authorities in the region to comment, with a deadline of 19 June.

The need for an integrated network of fl ood resilience measures and drainage within the East Riding is a result of the topography, geology and hydrology characteristics of the land.

Many of the drainage catchments are almost entirely reliant upon protective embankments or pumping operations for drainage as much of the land is at or below sea level both inland along the

River Hull and along the Humber estuary. There is concern that the Environment Agency may not have taken all of the impacting factors into account in understanding this integrated system.

A key feature of the drainage network is the requirement for maintained and resilient pumping capacity, maintenance of embankments to prevent breaches and overtopping.

The Environment Agency is required to have Catchment Flood Management Plans (CFMPs) in place for the whole of England.CFMPs aim to:• understand the factors that

contribute to fl ood risk within a catchment both now and in the future

• recommend the best ways of

managing the risk of fl ooding within the catchment over the next 50 to 100 years.There are six CFMPs that

fall wholly or partly within the East Riding. Those plans are for catchments of the rivers Aire and Calder, Derwent, Don and Rother, Hull and coastal streams, Ouse and Trent.

Working togetherIMPROVING THE HEALTH OF RESIDENTS IN THE EAST RIDING

THE East Riding’s fi rst GP Access centre has opened its doors at Bridlington Hospital and has already been welcomed by patients.

The new centre offers a range of GP and health care services from 8 am to 8 pm, seven days a week. The longer opening hours provide a greater choice of appointment times in the evening and over the weekend, including bank holidays.

The fi rst patient at the centre was toddler Lewis Welbourn of Bridlington whose mother Rebecca brought him in with an eye infection. “It was really busy at my normal surgery this morning and I would have had to wait with a very upset child. I was told about the new centre, and I came in and got seen straight away.”

The access centre will, in time, manage around 2,500 registered patients, as well as unregistered patients who can make an appointment or simply walk-in. The fi rst patient to register at the new practice was Dorothy Sanderson of Bridlington. She said: “The early opening hours were what attracted me and the new centre is really welcoming.”

The GP Access Centre is operated by Bridlington Healthcare NHS Collaborative, a new joint arrangement between NHS East Riding of Yorkshire Community Services and four of Bridlington’s GP practices - Practice 1, Practice 2, Practice 3 and Manor House Surgery. The services within these practices will continue to operate from their premises as normal.

Bridlington’s population is swelled during the summer and the new

centre is well equipped to deal with holiday-makers. Sue Palmer from Doncaster brought her grandson Daniel in to the centre for treatment. “It’s marvellous to know that this service is here for people visiting the area. You can get the same standard of health care when you are on holiday that you get at home.”

Dr Bhuwan Subedi is the practice’s fi rst GP. He said: “I think people with busy working lives will welcome being able to come before or after work to see a GP. I hope it encourages more people who struggle to take time off from work to come in and get their health problems checked out.”

Jean Oxley, chief operating offi cer, NHS East Riding of Yorkshire Community Services, said: “We have fully refurbished the clinical rooms, reception and waiting area within Entrance A to bring an additional

health care facility which has been welcomed by many patients.” The GP Access Centre can be contacted on (01262) 423464.

THIS summer, children in reception class and year fi ve have the chance to take part in the fi rst ever Change4Life Summer Scrap Book competition with the chance to win prizes including a photo shoot with two Hull City players, a bike and Halfords cycle safety equipment vouchers.

NHS East Riding of Yorkshire and East Riding of Yorkshire Council are working in partnership with the Humber Sports Partnership to promote Change4Life.

All the youngsters need to do is get creative and complete the scrap book to show how they (and their families) have been eating well and moving more throughout the summer holidays.

Scrap books are available at schools until the end of term and leisure centres across the East Riding throughout the summer and should be returned to schools by 14 September 2009.

HEALTHCARE infections or ‘superbugs’ like MRSA and clostridium diffi cile are usually associated with hospitals, but their impact can be felt just as acutely in a community care setting.

Now, action has been taken to protect people in care homes with a new infection control training package aimed at care home staff, developed by NHS East Riding of Yorkshire and NHS Hull.

Claire Webster, infection control specialist for NHS East Riding of Yorkshire, said:

“The free one-day course is open to people working in care homes across the East Riding, teaching staff

all about infection control and the practical steps they can take to reduce the risk of infection. They can then share this knowledge with other staff when they go back to work.

“It is also a great opportunity for local care home owners and managers to access high quality training in preparation for next year, when the Care Quality Commission (CQC) will introduce new registration requirements for all health and social care providers.”

There will be further courses running until March 2010. For more information contact Jackie Bannister, on (01482) 335429 or [email protected]

A NEW campaign involving NHS East Riding of Yorkshire, local pharmacists and GPs has been launched to tackle the problem of medicine wastage in the East Riding. Over £2.5m is wasted every year in our area on medicines that are not needed or used. This is money that could be spent on improving health care, like funding 500 more hip replacements or 75 more community nurses!

People can help by not stockpiling medicines, only ordering what is needed and taking all prescription medicines with them if they are going to hospital.

This 16-page A to Z of local health services plus summary of our health strategy and local developments in the NHS will be delivered to every household in the East Riding by the end of July

Patients at Pocklington Medical Practice are also welcoming longer hours. Berni Judge, practice manager, said: “Our extended opening on a Saturday morning is working well. The practice also offers a new online booking system for all routine GP appointments. To register patients just need to email their name, address and date of birth details to [email protected] In addition to the practices listed in Your Guide to Local Services, Pocklington Medical Practice offers extended opening from 8am-12noon on Saturdays for pre-booked appointments.

This year we have introduced a wide range of Level 1 and 2 courses, in areas including creative studies, computer skills, science and maths.

We have also introduced

a range of new NVQs at Level 2, in areas including business and administration, customer service, team leading and youth work, as well as a number of short courses aimed at workplace skills including food hygiene, health and safety, stress awareness and confl ict resolution.

Whether you are looking to upskill and return to work, change career, or support your own business through training, consider a course with us - we can help with local, adult-tailored provision to help you onto new things.

We can help you fi nd the right course

Katarazyna came to Goole Adult Education two years ago with little experience of learning English.

Katarazyna is from Poland and worked there as a travel agent.

Last year she achieved Level 1 English for speakers of other languages (ESOL) and is now taking a Level 2 course.

Also, because of her Level 1

achievement and background in travel, she is now working as a volunteer at a local travel agent where she is improving her working English. She supports other learners in the ESOL pre-speakers groups.

She is working in a local factory at the moment, but it is Katarazyna’s dream to teach English in her own country in the future.

Level 1 or 2 Literacy and NumeracyThe ideal stepping stoneIf you are unsure about your English or maths skills being good enough to start a GCSE course, you could work towards gaining a Level 1 or 2 qualification in literacy or numeracy first.

Join one of our local courses and you could have your skills assessed. Then work on any gaps identified before taking the test. The tests are multiple choice questions you can do on paper or on screen, and you can do them whenever you and your tutor think you are ready.

These qualifications are FREE and are:• nationally recognised• suitable for adults who missed out on

qualifications at school or would like to improve grades

• available at any time of the year• good progression routes to other

courses.

The Level 2 test is an ideal stepping stone to GCSEs or can also provide access to other courses in their own right.

When Julia fi rst attended Improve English and Maths Through IT she was nervous as her previous learning experience (private IT lessons) had been very negative. Her self-confi dence was low. Julia’s main aim was to learn new skills so that she could help her grandchild to use a computer. She feels that she has learned an enormous amount from the course and said:

“I really look forward to

Wednesdays. The class is great and at a time and venue that’s very convenient. I’d recommend this course to anybody wanting to improve their literacy or IT skills.”

Julia feels that her confi dence has been renewed. She has really improved her use of IT which she shares with her grandchild. Her plans are to carry on improving her IT skills and eventually she hopes to move onto an accredited IT course.

Joanna has helped in school for some time both as a volunteer in the classroom and as a lunch time supervisor. Her particular interest is in supporting children in a special educational needs department. She has had experience through a family member of dyslexia and fi ghting to get the problem recognised and supported.

This short free Classroom Assistants course seemed the ideal course to get her started in studying again. The course gave her experience of building portfolios so she feels that she is ready to take up the NVQ in Supporting Teaching and Learning in September.

The tutor is very supportive and knowledgeable of the subject. There is a very friendly atmosphere in the classroom and it is useful to share experiences with other learners.

Maria wanted to work with people, particularly with children, so she went to the local primary school and asked if she could help as a volunteer. The school said yes and arranged a CRB check for her. When she started she realised how much she enjoyed it and that it could be a change of career for her but she realised that she would need an NVQ in Supporting Teaching and Learning (STLLS) to help her get paid work.

She attended the free Classroom Assistants course at Cottingham. This is a short course that is suitable for parent helpers in schools. It gives learners the opportunity to assess what they are doing and prepares learners to go on to the STLLS NVQ. It is a very informal course and learners get the opportunity to share and learn from each other. The tutor is knowledgeable and able to inspire and motivate the learners.

This is a very practical course which builds on skills gained in such courses as European Computer Driving Licence and Computer Literacy Level 1, with lots of ‘hands on’ offi ce software practice.

Sam decided that she would return to learning as she felt she needed to complete her ECDL and to have some time for herself away from the daily routine of running a home and caring for her children. Within a year she had completed her ECDL qualifi cation. She now attends two classes a week: one to complete her Text and Word Processing to Level 3 and the other the CLAIT Plus course. This will enable Sam to take up employment again when she feels confi dent enough to face the world in her own right.

CAD software programmes are used to draft, model and edit architectural and engineering designs. CAD replaces working with the dd drawing board and “T” square.

There are many types of CAD software used in industry and this CAD course will give you a good grounding in the generic CAD skills needed in the workplace.

“I have always made my drawings of new component ideas for our machine shop lads by hand, and every little modifi cation meant I had to go back to the drawing board, literally! But now I can change them on the computer with a fl ick of my mouse, and print! No problem! It’s been great!” CAD learner, February 2008.

September also sees the hugely successful Roll Out the Barrel return to Hull New Theatre (8th September). Now in its 10th year, the gloriously happy show features comedy, sketches and old-time show songs, cockney sing-a-longs and the “songs that won the war”.

ASSEGAI by Wilbur Smith (Macmillan: £18.99) I fi rst met Wilbur Smith in 1965 when I helped publish his fi rst book, WHEN THE LION FEEDS. Now he has written over thirty bestselling novels and is a tremendous asset to any publisher. Here he goes back to his original stamping ground of East Africa and produces another great rollicking male adventure story featuring one of his heroes, Leon Courtney, who is a professional big-game hunter. The book opens in 1913 when the European nations are dividing up Africa between themselves and Britain and Germany are in competition for the mineral wealth of that continent. This rivalry is intensifi ed at the outbreak of the First World War and so the scene is set for another great page-turning success.THE RETURN by Victoria Hislop (Headline Review: £7.99)April of this year marked the seventieth anniversary of the end of the Spanish Civil War and the paperback edition of Victoria Hislop’s bestselling second novel offers an insight into the human story behind the history of the families divided by the confl ict. Sonia Cameron has come to Granada to dance,

knowing nothing of the city’s shocking past, but a chance conversation and a collection of old photographs draw her into the extraordinary tale of that devastating time. This is an epic family saga combined with wonderful historical research.THE DEAD OF WINTER by Rennie Airth (Macmillan: £16.99)This title forms the fi nal novel in Rennie Airth’s Inspector John Madden trilogy. A young Polish girl is suddenly and brutally killed during a blackout on the streets of London on a bitterly cold evening in late 1944. With resources stretched by war regulations and the thriving black market, the police struggle to make sense of the few clues. For John Madden this crime is personal and he isn’t about to let a killer walk away.REVELATION by C J Sansom (Pan: £7.99) The fourth of the hugely popular Matthew Shardlake novels is now in paperback, a classic whodunit set against a sixteenth-century backdrop. It’s spring 1543 and King Henry VIII is coveting Lady Catherine Parr whom he wants for his sixth wife but the lady is resisting. Archbishop Cranmer and the Protestant faction at court are watching intensely because

Lady Catherine is known to have reformist sympathies. Meanwhile, Matthew Shardlake is working on the case of a serial killer which leads him to connections not only with Archbishop Cranmer and Lady Catherine but also with the dark prophecies of the Book of Revelation. This has been another enormous bestseller for C J Sansom, a former academic who is now working as a full-time writer.PARKY by Michael Parkinson (Hodder: £7.99) I reviewed the hardback edition of this book in December last year. Since then it has dominated the bestseller lists and now the paperback is available. It is, of course, the memoirs of Michael Parkinson who has the good fortune to be in the right place at the right time most of his life, from his National Service in the Army, through local newspapers to Fleet Street and on to chat-show stardom. But it was all based on a strong family life in a pit village near Barnsley. The whole story is told in a very engaging way. Coincidentally, the author has instituted libel proceedings against the Barnsley Chronicle where he started his illustrious career and his unemployed cousin for challenging some of the details that Sir Michael has written about his father.

A fantastic day out for families and visitors

S ewerby Hall and Gardens has been named as Britain’s best

picnic spot for the second year running.

In a public vote, Sewerby fi rst beat competition from other sites in Yorkshire, and then defeated nine sites from throughout the UK

to be named the top place to enjoy sandwiches, sausage rolls and scotch eggs.

The country house was also named as the nation’s favourite spot last year when the Warburtons competition was run for the fi rst time.

Councillor Jane Evison, portfolio holder for cultural services, housing and public protection at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “Following last year’s award people from up and down the country fl ocked to Sewerby to fi nd out what

makes it a perfect place to enjoy a picnic.

“Winning the plaudit for the second year running really is a tribute to the continued commitment of the staff who work all year to keep the grounds at Sewerby pristine.

“I look forward to seeing thousands more rugs, hampers, and hard-boiled eggs in the grounds at Sewerby in the years to come.”

Martin Burnhill, facility manager at Sewerby Hall and Gardens, said: “We are absolutely delighted that

so many people have voted for us, especially when you consider the calibre of the sites against which we have been competing.

“I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who has voted and to our staff who continue to create a fantastic day out for families and visitors.”

Sewerby Hall and Gardens will be presented with an extra £500 cash bursary and a Picnic Awards plaque to ensure future visitors know it has been voted as the UK’s favourite place to picnic.
