Pupils and staff look forward to a new academic year

BACK TO SCHOOL

I t’s more than just a new school year for pupils in Withernsea this

September as Withernsea Primary School opens its doors for the fi rst time.

In July Withernsea Infant School and Withernsea Junior School closed and over the summer have been amalgamated into an all-through primary

school under head teacher Angela Harper.

Now pupils from four to 11 will stay at the same school with the same teachers enabling them to have the continuity and stability of an all-through primary school.

Councillor Penny Peacock, portfolio holder for children, young people and schools, said: “Changing schools when they’re seven can have a huge impact on children both academically and emotionally and this will avoid that emotional upheaval.”

Pupils at a number of other schools across the East Riding will

notice changes when they return as the council’s infrastructure and facilities team has worked on 82 separate building and repair projects over the summer holiday.

From radiator repairs to complete kitchen refurbishments the majority of the £3.5 million worth of works has been completed in time for the schools to re-open in September.

Eleven schools will also have a new head teacher at the helm for the start of the new term including Cottingham High School, where Elizabeth Logan will take over following the

retirement last term of Tom Darbyshire.

Mrs Logan said: “I am delighted to be taking over the headship, especially in the light of the excellent exam results this summer, which show a rising trend above the school’s target.”

Councillor Peacock, added: “The new school year marks a fresh start for pupils of all ages. In the East Riding we’re proud of our schools and the hard work and effort put in by staff and pupils, evidenced by the excellent A-level and GCSE results across the East Riding this year.”

New arrival at Sewerby Hall

A competition has been launched to fi nd a name for the

newest arrival at Sewerby Hall and Gardens.

A baby Humboldt penguin is now on show at the country house’s zoo after she hatched on 24 April.

The yet-to-be-named female chick left the nest to make its fi rst appearance on 20 July and has been seen regularly since then. Now staff at the zoo are asking members of the public to come forward with names for the bird.

Councillor Jane Evison, portfolio holder for cultural services housing and public protection at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “The birth of this little chick at Sewerby is a special event and staff are keen to involve visitors in choosing a name.

“The zoo has always been a strong attraction at Sewerby Hall and Gardens, and this latest addition is being made very welcome.”

Head zookeeper, John Pickering, said: “We have yet to choose a name for the chick so I have decided to run a competition asking visitors to suggest a name.

“Humbolt penguins are

classed as a vulnerable species making our chick that much more important.

“What is remarkable is the age of the parents. At 20 years old, Dion and Rosie could be the oldest Humboldt penguins to hatch and successfully rear a chick in captivity.

“It goes to show that the habitat here at Sewerby is perfect for our penguins. This is our fi rst chick in seven years and the third parent-reared chick we have had. I’m over the moon.”

The competition to name the chick will run throughout the season until Sunday, 26 September. Visitors can pick up an entry form from Sewerby Hall and Gardens.

PUPILS are celebrating after achieving the best ever GCSE and A-level results in the East Riding.

The record breaking levels of performance saw 59 per cent of pupils achieving the Government’s ‘gold standard’ of fi ve or more GCSEs A*-C including English and maths, beating last year’s performance by seven per cent.

It is the fi fth successive year that

GCSE results have risen with 78 per cent of pupils getting fi ve or more A*-C GCSE grades.

Young people receiving their A-level results this summer also had good news to report. As this is the fi rst year the A* grade has been introduced, comparisons with previous years is more diffi cult.

Councillor Penny Peacock,

portfolio holder for children, young people and schools, said: “These results come from thousands of individual successes and it is really pleasing to think of all the students who have been empowered to make the next step towards further and higher education or the world of work after these really impressive results.”

� UP AND RUNNING: Bridlington’s new park and ride

� LEADING LINESLEADER OF THE COUNCIL COUNCILLOR STEPHEN PARNABY OBE

It isn’t often East Yorkshire hosts international sporting events but this was the case in August when the impressive Bishop Burton College was the venue for the European Pony Championships. Fifteen teams from all parts of Europe competed over � ve days in eventing, dressage, and show jumping in some of the country’s � nest equestrian facilities. This is the � rst time in 13 years the championships have been held in this country and it is a great tribute to the principal, Jeanette Dawson OBE, college governors and staff in attracting this prestigious event. The college has recently undergone major investment with a £25 million redevelopment programme, the works being carried out by local contractors, much of which has focused on the college’s Equine Centre. Next year will see the Polocrosse World Cup, and the college is also an approved equestrian training centre for the 2012 Olympic Games.

The European Pony Championships involved around 300 riders with the support of around 200 others including grooms, vets and physiotherapists with parents and supporters bringing almost another 1,000 visitors to East Yorkshire.

Tributes have been paid to the college’s facilities by the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) and leading individuals from across the teams.

The opening was spectacular with a really friendly atmosphere, which continued throughout the competition. Great Britain took gold in eventing, the Netherlands in dressage and in show jumping it was Germany.

East Yorkshire Events, the conference and events arm of East Riding of Yorkshire Council, gave its support, as it does with other events throughout the year. In 2010 the team have helped to bring around 35 events to the area attracting around 70,000 people and generating over £7m for the local economy.

Bishop Burton is now � rmly on the map as a leading equestrian venue, a real showcase and something that we should all be proud of in the East Riding. I am very proud and I congratulate everyone involved.

Bridlington park and rideI WOULD like to suggest that part of Bridlington park and ride car park be re-assigned to short term parking.

Not everyone who visits the South Bay wishes to stay all day or be driven into the centre of Bridlington. Many people use the South Bay for walking on the beach, kicking a ball around, flying a kite or walking the dog and only stay for an hour or two. I think the present arrangements are too inflexible and are going to discourage such people who do not want to pay for all day parking.

Can I also ask what are the proposed out-of-season arrangements for the car park. Previously it was possible during the winter periods to park in the South Bay for free to participate in the above activities. Keith Britton, Beverley

Dear Mr BrittonTHE issue has been raised as part of an ongoing review of the service and will continue to be monitored for the season.

We would agree that not every one wishes to visit the town centre but would instead look to use the excellent beach and coastal facilities on offer at this location and an all day parking fee of £3.50 offers excellent value for money. The fact that you would still have the added benefit of access to the park and ride service at this

specific location, should you chose to use it, we see as a bonus.

The provision and location of the park and ride is significant in our endeavours to reduce peak season traffic flow in Bridlington town centre and, together with other highway developments such as the Spa Environs works, this will improve the quality of provision and local service in the town centre for both visitors and residents.

This car park and all other major car parks in Bridlington are being linked by variable message signs to show where there are car parking spaces available. These signs will give you direction, together with a choice and availability as you access Bridlington.

We do intend to review service and car park provision at this location for the autumn period, subject to weather and ground conditions. The coach service will cease at the end of September, with a limited land train service operating until the end of October. As part of the review winter operations and charges will be considered with effect from 1 November.

Should you wish to explore any aspect of this response please email our development team via [email protected] Cook, assistant tourism manager

Food and garden waste I HAVE just read about the new idea for putting food waste and cardboard into the brown bins as well as garden waste - a good idea but unfortunately this will not be possible for me as I already fill my brown bin easily in a fortnight and sometimes a week in the summer.

I have four composters so I think I am doing my bit here too but unless (a) the brown bin is collected more often or (b) I can have two bins (and I know I am not the only person to want this as your paper proves) unfortunately my food waste and cardboard will have to continue to go into the green bin during the summer.

Please do not suggest, as I have seen you do to others, a visit to the nearest waste disposal site - if you want us to reach the targets you need to accept that not all households are exactly the same so one brown bin is not ‘just right’ for the majority of residents as the reply in July stated and even if you consider that to be true now it certainly won’t be when the new suggestions are implemented.

Not everyone has the use of a car to visit these sites anyway. You were happy enough to supply two blue bins so I can’t see the problem with two brown bins. Incidentally you still are

not providing, as Hull council do, a means of collecting glass bottles - perhaps this could be addressed in the future too. Mrs P J Symes, Bilton

Dear Mrs SymesLike all other authorities in the UK, we have to minimise waste production and manage our residents’ waste on a tight budget or, I should

say, on an increasingly tight budget. East Riding covers a huge area and, as a

consequence, the kerbside bin collections are a major part of the council’s expenditure. To increase the number of weekly bin collections at this time is not possible, nor can we add to the number of bins as this increases the timings of the rounds, adding yet more cost.

We are making great efforts to help residents

with their waste, the future food waste collection being just one.

I accept a few households will have difficulty fitting both garden and food waste in the bins and it is for this reason we provide initiatives and suggestions such as those on page 9.

You make a good point about kerbside glass collections. I am hoping to make an announcement later this year about glass collections that will please the residents who have raised this issue with me.

John Skidmore, head of streetscene services

Free caddy linersI READ with interest your articles on the brown bins and caddy bins in the East Riding news July edition.

I am a resident in Brough who has been using the bins quite successfully but with reference to the comment made by David Jarvis, who is also a resident, about the caddy liners been offered at a reduced price– why can they not be given to us free like Hull City Council does to its residents?

I would be grateful for your comments.Linda Berriman, Brough

Dear Mrs BerrimanI am glad to hear that you have been taking part in the food waste trial and have found it to be successful.

As a resident taking part in the trial, you should have received free liners, sufficient to last many months.

You will continue to receive free liners, as will all residents when the food waste collection is rolled out across the East Riding later this year.John Skidmore, head of streetscene services

Recycling cardboardI AM very pleased that the trials of recycling kitchen waste and cardboard via the brown bins has been a success and is gradually being rolled out across the county.

However, must we wait months(and if so why?) to receive the kitchen bin before we can recycle our cardboard via the brown bin? Surely we can start putting cardboard into the brown bins straight away as you have the facilities in place to deal with this.Lynne Bradley, Wawne

Dear Mrs Bradley,BRIEFLY, no food waste or cardboard should be put into the brown bins until we start the new service later in the year.

Like you, many residents have welcomed the new service. While there is a temptation to put food waste and cardboard in the brown bins straight away, I am urging residents not to do so.

Food waste and cardboard put into the brown bins now could contaminate the entire load on the collection vehicle. It has then to be sent to landfill, which is a waste of both compost and money. Food mingled with garden waste must be heat treated to destroy harmful bacteria, which will happen to the waste collected under the new service later this year.

Every effort has been made to keep to a minimum the gap between the announcement and the start of the new service. The announcement was made when the council’s cabinet gave its approval. At that point, we were in a position to proceed with detailed planning.

With 150,000 households and 3,300km of roads across an area of nearly 2,500sq.km, it is a major exercise in planning to add an additional service to the kerbside collections, but I should be able to announce in the coming weeks the dates of the phased roll out.John Skidmore, head of streetscene services

£25Letter


T he council is offering residents the use of an eco-pack that includes an

electricity monitor, a pouch for kitchen fats and a water saving device.

The packs, on loan from local libraries, are an extension of a scheme launched last year, which proved so popular.

Councillor Symon Fraser, portfolio holder for environment and planning, said: “The monitors can be taken out on loan, just like a book or CD. It is hand-held and very simple to use.

“Seeing how much electricity is being used can be a real shock. It is amazing how quickly we can then fi nd ways to save energy and, as a result, money.

“It is a good time to be loaning the packs before the cold weather is upon us.”

Energy saving suggestions include the use of low-energy lightbulbs, switching off lights if a room is not being used and not leaving appliances on stand-by.

Residents can keep the fat absorbing pouch and water device after the monitor is returned to the library.

The pouch locks waste oils and fats into its honeycomb structure and can be composted. Use of the pouch reduces the risk of blocked pipes and sewers when fats and oil are poured down sinks, which can result in fl ooding.

When looking to save water around the home, one of the best places to start is the bathroom. Using the free fl ush-saving pack in the toilet cistern saves a litre of water every time it is fl ushed.

The packs also include a form which is a free home energy check by the Energy Saving Trust. Complete the form or call the Trust on 0800 512012.

Seeing how much electricity is being used can be a real shock

� Councillor Symon Fraser, portfolio holder for environment and planning

Leven resident, Sarah Caley, said: “It was the � rst time I had used one of these monitors.

“It was a real surprise to see how much energy was being used when I put the kettle on the hob and later when I switched on the oven.

“We are already very conscious of how much energy we use and do switch things off.

“We have decided, though, that when we go away on holiday we will even turn off the LED clock on the oven as it was using half a penny an hour.”

ConsultationUpdate

This column is to tell residents what consultations are taking place, how they can take part and what happens once the consultations are complete. By consulting and engaging, we can make sure that all of their views are heard.

New surveysWe are looking for feedback to help us improve the voluntary and community sector in the East Riding. The voluntary sector steering group, on behalf of the East Riding Local Strategic Partnership (LSP), will soon be consulting with voluntary and community sector organisations using a range of media. If you work in this sector and receive this questionnaire, please take the opportunity to Have Your Say and help develop our strategy. We are interested to hear your views about what issues are most important to you, and what areas the strategy should focus on.

Completed consultationsThe sport and play development service recently carried out a Walk for Health survey. The aims of this questionnaire were to � nd out what East Riding residents who took part in the walks thought of the scheme, and to � nd out how the scheme could look in the future.

You told us……that the walks were well organised and enjoyable…we will aim to keep our standards high and encourage the wider use of this service.

…63.9 per cent thought the layout of the walk programme was very good…we will continue to provide newcomers on the course with an instructions booklet and ensure it covers all the essential information.

…that the course helps you become more active and feel healthier…so we have decided to further advertise the scheme. Look out for notices at your local leisure centres.

important in the UK as the number of people aged 65 and over increases.

In the East Riding there are 69,000 people aged 65 and over, making up 20 per cent of the local population, and a number of volunteer organisations are working to promote their agenda.

Pensioners Action Group East Riding (PAGER) is a volunteer group, based in Bridlington, who work with local government, health and social services to provide quality services for older people.

Jean Wormwell is the

organisation’s secretary and enjoys the satisfaction volunteering for PAGER brings.

She said: “Older people have a lot to offer and when I retired I wanted to continue contributing to society.

“PAGER campaigns on a number of issues on behalf of older people, including pensions, transport and health.

“We put forward the agenda of older people and promote their position in society. The population is aging and it is important that the services are there for them and that they are fi rst class.”

Councillor Ros Jump, cabinet portfolio holder for community engagement, said: “Volunteering is a very rewarding experience that allows older people who have a wealth of experience to contribute through supporting those who need it most.

“Organisations like PAGER provide valuable services to people who otherwise may have little or no social interaction with others and gives them a voice.”

For further information about PAGER, call (01262) 409020 or visit www.bridlingtonpager.co.uk

EAST Riding of Yorkshire Council has signed up to the National House Exchange Scheme, which allows council house tenants to swap homes locally, regionally and nationally.

House Exchange is a not-for-pro� t home swap scheme and is available online to residents in social housing right across the UK.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council tenants can register on

the website for free and search for a suitable exchange. The site includes photographs of the properties available as well as details about the area they are situated in.

Brian Worrell, principal housing management of� cer, said: “People want to swap their home for all sorts of reasons, whether it is because of an expanding family or work commitments.

“We decided to offer House

Exchange to our tenants because it offers a huge choice of potential swaps, as well as being easy to use. Traditionally, � nding a suitable exchange has been a stumbling block for people looking to move, but House Exchange overcomes this problem.”

Celebrating life with literature

F iction, politics, geology, poetry, biography and lots of

workshops to get involved with – Beverley Literature Festival (1 – 10 October), organised by East Riding Libraries, once again brings you the best in writing whatever the subject.

This year the festival has expanded its programme for children to give young readers in the East Riding a fun-packed weekend of performances, readings, making sessions and story-telling of all kinds – all

based at Beverley Library in the Treasure House.

We’re also getting words off the page for adults, with two performances: one involving a story from Tristram Shandy set to the exquisite period music of Heinrich Abel; and the other a fantastic story-telling performance of Frankenstein. The festival’s emphasis on performance extends to a programme of creative workshops, with script-writing, and a directing master-class from Chris Monks (artistic director at the Stephen Joseph Theatre), joining other workshops on fi ction and life-writing.

As offi cial partners in the Larkin25 celebrations, the festival is delighted to be running two readers’ groups looking at Larkin’s poetry, and

organising the new Larkin and East Riding Poetry Competition.

John Clarke, the festival’s director, said: “The library service is very proud to be able to continue to run this festival with support from the Arts Council. It’s a great opportunity for readers to come together to celebrate the pleasure and sense of discovery they get through reading.

“We hope you like the programme and if you have a family or know of one tell them about the events for children – we see it as our most important task to get a new generation of readers involved in the writing of their time.”

LANDOWNERS in the East Riding of Yorkshire have again been busy proving that they are at the ‘cutting-edge’ of best practice when it comes to traditional and innovative hedgerow stewardship, following the announcement of the winners of the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) East Riding hedgerow awards for 2010.

The awards scheme - made to recognise and celebrate the best practice of farmers and landowners who plant, manage and restore native hedgerows – was again run be CPRE East Riding in partnership with the East Riding of Yorkshire Council and the HEYwoods Initiative - the trees and woodland initiative for Hull and the East Riding.

The 2010 CPRE East Riding Hedgerow Awards winners were: Best overall hedgerow stewardship, John Fenton, Elmswell Farms near Driffi eld and Yokefl eet Farms near Howden; Best new hedgerow planting, Gordon Hawcroft, Holme Lodge Farm, Holme upon Spalding Moor and Best hedgerow management, Hearing Dogs for the Deaf, Bielby near Pocklington.

RESIDENTS are being asked to beware of companies selling security and � re alarms by using high pressure sales techniques.

A company from the north west of England has been targeting elderly and vulnerable East Riding residents in the hope of supplying burglar or � re alarms free of charge, but charging thousands for monitoring and maintenance.

Councillor Jane Evison, portfolio holder for cultural services, housing and public protection, said: “Unfortunately disreputable � rms often target older and more vulnerable residents by making unsolicited visits or telephone calls. Residents should be aware of this and treat all uninvited callers with caution.”

Colin Briggs, trading standards service manager, said: “When consumers are visited at home and agree a contract with the salesperson present, they should receive a notice of their cancellation rights.

“Vulnerable people targeted by unscrupulous security � rms are encouraged to sign a declaration allowing work to begin. This means payment is made before the consumers have had time to think about the cost.”

S pa Gardens will deliver a programme of entertainment and street

theatre throughout the season following its successful launch.

The £6.7 million Spa Gardens scheme upgraded public spaces around The Spa Bridlington, including highways, walkways and green areas to refl ect its recent redevelopment by East Riding of Yorkshire Council, Yorkshire Forward and the Government’s Sea Change programme.

Local entertainment has been auditioned by Bridlington Renaissance Partnership and The Spa which will manage and book performers with the aim of creating a ‘mini Covent Garden’ in Bridlington.

During the Spa Gardens launch

in August East Riding town crier Michael Wood used the space to hold the British Town Crier Championships.

He said: “Spa Gardens will be perfect for outside performances and they are yet another sign that Bridlington is on the up, as the host town crier I saw nothing but smiles on the faces of competitors all weekend, even when rain stopped the use of the Spa Gardens and we reverted to using The Spa.

“On the Sunday at Sewerby Hall, Cirrus Research plc, a world leader in noise measurement instruments, offered to test volume levels of all criers.

“I was thrilled to learn that their results showed me to be the loudest town crier in Britain, which is a title I am certainly going to shout about.

“The streets have been quiet since my fellow criers left but we hope to have them all back again soon, maybe next time for a World Championship event.”

Garden waste tipsA s the composting season

gets into full swing, the council is offering ways

of helping residents deal with garden waste.

This includes a prize draw for one resident to have the council build a home composter in their garden. In return, the winner will give feedback and tips on how they managed the compost.

There are also free home composters to give away to two further residents. See the coupon below.

The council’s top garden expert, resource offi cer Andy Harper, also has some ideas about the best recipe for making compost.

Andy said: “Now is the time to cut back hedges, clear the garden of dead bedding plants and put away hanging baskets. This all makes for extra garden waste.

“The best way of dealing with it is to make your own compost, using the brown bin as the last resort, with the added bonus that making your own compost saves money on buying soil improver.

“Try layering the waste, making sure it gets enough air and rain. Layer chopped hedge trimmings with grass and spent plants. It’s a bit like making lasagne. The more layers the better. When it starts to break down, turn it over occasionally.

“A really simple way of dealing with it is to fi nd a corner of the garden, get some cardboard boxes, fi ll them with garden waste, pile them on top of one another and let it all rot down. Then, start mixing it by turning

it over.”For the council’s leafl et on how

to build a composter from wooden crates, look on www.target45plus.org.uk The council will use this method to construct one in a resident’s garden as part of the competition.

Andy added: “We are entering the time of year most people dislike, when leaves come down like snow. Scoop them into sacks or plastic bags with holes in, pop in a little water and let them rot over winter.”

The council is also offering home composters at reduced prices, such as the 220 litre composter at £14 with a second at half-price. The 330 litre home composter is £17, with a second composter at half the price.

The offers are available until 31 March 2011 through Straight Recycling plc on (0845) 1306090 or visit the council’s recycling website, www.target45plus.org.uk

Council offers ideas for dealing with garden waste

THE council is launching a campaign to highlight the amount of food we all throw away.

As part of this campaign, the waste and recycling team will help one lucky East Riding family make their money and food go further while saving time in the kitchen.

It could also earn you £50 in vouchers for www.naturalcollection.com

Is this your family, and do you think you could help the rest of us by telling East Riding News what you have learned?

A third of what we put in our green bins is food, much of it still wrapped in packaging.

It is estimated that an average UK family wastes up to £50 a month on buying food that goes straight into the bin.

CALENDARS for all three bins, the blue, brown and green, are now available on the council’s recycling website, www.target45plus.org.uk

Type your postcode into the search box on bins.eastriding.gov.uk click search and up will come the dates for your next scheduled collection dates.

You then have the option to click on the dates next to the colour of the bin and the calendar will be displayed for all forthcoming dates with

the option to print it.Councillor Symon

Fraser, portfolio holder for environment and planning, said: “This is something residents have been wanting. For this � rst time, we have been able to add the calendars for the brown bins. For ease of use, we have put the calendars all in one place.”

Any residents wishing to be talked through the process, can call the customer service centre on (01482) 393939.

Shaping the East Riding

C onsultation on the current phase of the Local

Development Framework (LDF) has now concluded.

The LDF is the long-term planning blueprint for the East Riding which will determine the level of development of all kinds, including housing, and where it should occur.

The response from the public has been extremely high, with lots of people and organisations submitting their views to the council, which is really encouraging. In fact, the level of interest was such that the consultation timescale was extended.

There were nearly 1,700 responses, 19 meetings/workshops attended by 56 parish councils, together with 12 exhibitions and 13 drop-in sessions that drew in more than 370 people.

Councillor Symon Fraser, portfolio holder for environment and planning, said: “The LDF is vitally important for the future of the East Riding and I am delighted at the level of interest and response shown.

“The LDF will guide planning applications and

development proposals for the next 15 years and the public’s involvement in the process is crucial and will be of great benefi t in enabling the council to help local communities.”

The new coalition Government has announced a number of changes to the planning system, the most important of which is to remove the regional dimension in the process with the intention of returning decision making powers on housing and planning to local authorities and their communities.

Stephen Hunt, housing and spatial strategy manager, said: “The changes that the Government are making are signifi cant but they are not a signal for local authorities to stop making plans in their area and it is important that we carry on the LDF process which we wish to refl ect local aspirations on vital issues such as climate change, housing and economic development.”

The council plans to submit all the responses to the LDF to the cabinet before Christmas as it is important the information is published and people kept informed. The next draft of the LDF core strategy and allocations documents will be published for consultation in the early summer 2011.

New campaign on social media

A new campaign is being launched this month to remind

pupils, parents, teachers and governors about the recommendations for use of social media sites.

Recently there have been a series of school related incidents where pupils or teachers are being bullied by groups set up on social networking sites.

Alison Michalska, director of children, family and adult services, said: “This isn’t a huge problem in the East Riding but it is becoming more of an issue. There have been an increasing number of people setting up groups which, in some circumstances, can constitute harassment.

“Everyone needs to be aware that by writing things on social network sites they are effectively publishing information.

Now, at the start of a new term, the council is launching a

campaign to remind everyone connected with schools about the rules.

Governors will be sent letters and schools will contact parents explaining that using social networking sites is effectively publishing information and that bullying against staff members and against children won’t be tolerated.

Alison said: “These sites are not the places to air grievances and make judgements about people’s work capabilities and I would urge any parent or carer who has a concern about their school staff to go through the correct channels.”

Pupils will be encouraged to complete a short online

programme about staying safe on the web, which includes information about cyber bullying and not being a member of social networking sites under age 13.

Councillor Penny Peacock, portfolio holder for children, young people and schools, said: “We want to nip this in the bud before it becomes an issue and make sure, as we start a new term, and many pupils start new schools, that everyone is aware of how to use social networking sites safely.

“We have a duty to protect young people and make sure they aren’t putting themselves at unnecessary risk by being on these sites if they’re under 13.”

A DISPERSAL order is being brought in around the harbour and on the seafront in Bridlington until 31 October.

The order is being brought in by Humberside Police and East Riding of Yorkshire Council.

Councillor Jane Evison, the council’s portfolio holder for cultural services, housing and public protection, said: “Every year a number of people in the UK are killed or injured plunging into open water, a practice known as tombstoning.

“Not only are the young people putting themselves at risk, but they are also causing a nuisance in the area.

“Bridlington is an attractive seaside resort and we will not allow the behaviour of a minority of people spoil it for everyone else.”

Under the terms of the order, police of� cers and police community support of� cers have the power to tell people in groups of two or more to disperse and not to return for up to 24 hours. To remain in or return to the area having been told to leave is an offence and can be arrested.

After 9pm, of� cers may remove anyone under the age of 16 to their home or place of safety if they are not under the effective control of a parent or responsible person over the age of 18.

Nowhere to hide with new data matching

I t’s only a matter of time before you are caught is the message being sent out to fraudsters

and benefi t cheats as East Riding of Yorkshire Council starts an exercise known as data matching as part of a National Fraud Initiative (NFI).

The work means data held by the council will be compared against the records of other bodies to spot anything which doesn’t match up. Where there are any inconsistencies, investigations will be carried out to see what has caused

it, and if fraudulent activity could be responsible.

Bodies which take part in the process include police authorities, local probation boards and fi re and rescue authorities as well as local councils. Last year the NFI process helped to uncover pension frauds and overpayments amounting to £78 million, and £56m of council tax single person discount that was fraudulently or wrongfully received. In total the process spotted a total of £215m in fraud and overpayment across the UK.

The data matching exercise will build on the work already being done by the council’s fraud and investigation unit which investigated 204 cases of suspected benefi t fraud between April and June this year.

Andy Hardy, fraud investigation and

enforcement manager, said: “It is reported that welfare and tax credit fraud costs the taxpayer around £5.2 billion a year and the honest tax payers are the victims.

“It is my team’s duty to protect the public purse and by working collaboratively with other agencies and the public we can reduce benefi t fraud in the East Riding.”

Anyone who suspects benefi t fraud in the East Riding area can call the 24-hour benefi t fraud hotline in confi dence on (01482) 394949, text 07786 200850, or email: benefi [email protected]

AN exhibition is currently on display at the Treasure House, Beverley, focusing on local Hull-born aviator heroine Amy Johnson, the � rst woman to � y solo to Australia.

The exhibition features artefacts donated or loaned by various people and items borrowed from the permanent Amy Johnson collection at Sewerby Hall Museum near Bridlington.

To coincide with the display, the council’s museum service has produced a booklet, packed with information and images about Amy’s life and career, which is on sale at the Treasure House and at Sewerby Hall, priced at £2.30.

Dr. David Marchant, museum registrar for East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “With it being the 80th anniversary of Amy’s Australia � ight this year, we thought it was important to mark this event with a fresh look at the subject. As Amy’s parents lived in Beverley for some years and maintained their own memorial room in honour of their famous daughter, the Treasure House seemed an ideal venue for the display.”

The exhibition runs until the end of November.

WORK to reduce the risk of � ooding from Beverley’s Westwood is well underway.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council has been working on a two stage scheme in the area - just one of the council’s 188 projects to reduce the risk of � ooding.

Councillor Stephen Parnaby, OBE, the council’s leader, said: “Following the � oods of 2007 this council has been

committed to working throughout the East Riding to reduce the risk of � ooding to residents and businesses.

“I am sure anyone whose home or livelihood is in the East Riding will welcome this vital work, which helps to reduce the impact to the area of � ooding if we � nd ourselves facing a similar situation again in the future.”

Work includes a new pipeline at the

Hurn, which can carry more than four million litres of water safely away from nearby homes in a 12 hour period and a low bund to channel water from the Westwood into the new pipeline.

The council’s land drainage team, in consultation with the Westwood’s Pasture Masters, has designed the bund to blend into the edge of the pasture with little visual impact.

Work undertaken to reduce � ood risk

The council is inviting applications from voluntary and community organisations for grants towards small projects (maximum grant £250) that will bene� t the East Riding or its residents.

Don’t be caught out by thieves

People living throughout the East Riding are being

urged to stay on their guard and keep crime fi gures low by foiling would-be thieves.

Last year there were only 20 distraction burglaries reported in the East Riding, compared to 38 in 2007 and residents are being encouraged to keep up the good work to make sure thieves keep coming away empty-handed.

A distraction burglary will see thieves pose as offi cials,

salespeople or someone else with a legitimate reason to visit a house, in order to gain entry and steal. It can also see thieves work in teams so that while a resident is talking to one of them at the front door, theft is taking place elsewhere in the house.

Councillor Jane Evison, portfolio holder for cultural services, housing and public protection at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “While I’m pleased to see a drop in the fi gures, I would rather that no-one falls prey to this type of crime.

“Often offenders target the elderly or other vulnerable groups, and it is important that these people are stopped.

“The council’s safe communities team is committed to continuing to work with partners to stamp out this crime altogether.”

A campaign to reduce distraction burglary and promote doorstop security has seen the council work with partners including the police and Age UK to give presentations to vulnerable people and their carers, promote no cold calling zones, and make sure information about suspicious activity can be quickly passed around.

Door handle alarms and warning stickers have also been provided to vulnerable residents.

THE new customer service centre and library facility for Pocklington will open at 9.30am on Wednesday, 29 September.

Residents will be able to use two of East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s award-winning advice and information services through the centre. It will also be equipped with around 13,000 books and self-service technology, allowing customers to issue, return and renew library

books.There are eight computers for

residents to use at the centre, providing free internet access and online reference tools - six located in an IT area and two within the children’s area.

The new centre will feature all existing customer service facilities, including information, advice and access to all council and partner services, video-conferencing and payment

facilities.The old customer service centre

at Burnby Hall will close at 5pm on Wednesday, 22 September as it moves to the new building in Station Road.

Customer service enquiries during this period can be made to the customer contact centre on (01482) 393939. Payment options are on the reverse of bills, while collection services are available on (01482) 394902.

New campaign tackles driver awarenessM otorcycle riders and

employees of Safer Roads Humber involved in the

latest campaign to make the roads safer are wearing tabards pointing out that they are someone’s son, someone’s dad and someone’s best mate.

The move comes as research has shown that drivers who know a motorbike rider are less likely to be in a collision with one.

Now everyone on the road is again being asked to look out for motorcyclists as part of a regional campaign. This is especially important for East Riding motorists after a spate of motorcycle crashes.

Ruth Gore, spokesperson for Safer Roads Humber - one of the bodies throughout Yorkshire working to improve the safety of motorbike users - said: “This campaign has a message to both the motorcyclists and the driver of other vehicles.

“Our aim is to raise awareness amongst drivers to look out for bikes at all times but especially at junctions. We need drivers to check once, check twice, check for bikes.”

Across Yorkshire and Humber, 75 per cent of rider casualties result from a collision with another vehicle. People on two wheels make up one per cent of traffi c but account for 21 per cent of casualties.

More than 50 per cent of riders injured on the roads are at junctions marked give way.

Safer Roads Humber worked with the Road Safety Partnerships in West and South Yorkshire to launch the campaign earlier in the summer.

Activities - funded in the East Riding by East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s road safety team - are still going on and the partnership is planning a second big burst of activity during September and October as the evenings draw in.

The campaign features radio adverts, posters, leafl ets, high visibility tabards and a specially commissioned website www.someones-son.co.uk

P eople over 50 will be celebrated at a series of events

and activities across the East Riding on national older people’s day at the beginning of next month.

Older people’s day, on Friday, 1 October will see East Riding of Yorkshire Council services working with Age UK (formerly Age Concern), residential homes and health services to provide information and advice to people aged over 50.

Rosy Pope, head of adult services, said: “While older people’s day is the focus of our events we have scheduled them to run over a week so we can give everyone the opportunity to come along and take part in one of the activities.”

A programme of events will run from Monday, 27 September to Friday, 1 October including

health check days, sports taster sessions, health walks and tea dances.

Rosy added: “A wide range of council services, such as libraries and leisure centres are getting involved this year and joining with partners to provide activities specially tailored for the over 50s.

“We hope there is something for everyone and that many of the people who try taster sessions as part of this event will continue that activity after the week has ended.”

Taster sessions will include chairobics at Withernsea, Hornsea and Pocklington Leisure Centres, fl ex-stability classes at Withernsea Leisure Centre and a tea dance at Driffi eld Community Centre.

For more information about events during the week, see local press or log on to www.eastriding.gov.uk after 17 September.

THE building of the Sure Start children’s centres in the East

Riding of Yorkshire is almost complete with the final centres in Beeford and Market Weighton gearing up to serve the local community.

The building work of Beeford children’s centre, situated on the site of Beeford Primary School, Main Street, is now complete and some services are already being offered from the centre, with even more soon to be available.

The Market Weighton centre, based on site alongside Mount Pleasant CE VC Junior School, Princess Road, is also complete and the centre will be delivering services from next month.

Councillor Peacock, portfolio holder for children, young people and schools, said: “Children’s centres have been up and running in the

East Riding for a number of years now and are providing a valuable resource for children and their families.

“Each centre is tailored to the community it serves and offers a range of facilities and groups as well as support for parents and carers.

“They are superb venues which can be used for everything from cookery classes and childminder groups to parenting courses and toy libraries.”

There will be family fun days at all the centres across the East Riding on Saturday, 30 October to give residents the chance to give feedback.

The day also offers the opportunity to meet the children’s centre teams, see the buildings and try out some of the activities and facilities.

Open day times and the activities being delivered will vary between the different centres.

For more information about the children’s centres and open days, call the Families Information Service Hub (FISH) on (01482) 396469 or email fi [email protected]

Final children’s centres open

� SUPERB VENUES: Children and their families have fun at one of the Sure Start children’s centres

Family fun days as Beeford and Market Weighton children’s centres gear up to open


S eptember signals the start of another new school year and the

Families Information Service Hub (FISH) can help you fi nd out of school childcare as well as childcare for the under fi ves.

In addition to out of school clubs, childminders and nurseries can also offer care for school aged and pre-school children.

School aged children need safe care after school and during school holidays, from primary school through to the fi rst few years of secondary education.

There are a growing number of after-school clubs - sometimes called kids clubs - in the UK.

These are usually based in school premises, youth or community centres. Some nurseries offer after school care too. Wherever the location, a child carer or play worker collects the children from school and takes

them to the after-school club.Children are usually signed

in, and signed out again when collected by a parent or named carer. The pick-up time is usually 6pm, and some offer breakfast club facilities from 8am for parents who start work before school hours. Holiday clubs are run in the school holidays, often by the same organisation, and offer extra activities and days out. Both are regulated and inspected by Ofsted.

If you or your family are looking for childcare:• research your options. Contact

FISH to fi nd out the full range in your area

• make sure that the childcare is high-quality. Take a list of questions with you and don’t be afraid to ask them

• if the provider is registered by Ofsted, look out for the most recent Ofsted inspection report

• ask other parent/carers about what’s worked for them. Go with what you think best – you know your child

• think about what would suit your child’s personality. What environment would they thrive in? Take your child with you to see how they get on with the staff and surroundings.

Also consider the following:• is the atmosphere friendly?• is there plenty of space inside

and outside?• is there an area where children

can do homework/play/chill out? What about safety? – ask about their plans for an emergency

• what are the staff’s views on discipline?

• is there a separate section for younger children?

• is the food good? What about any special requirements?

• what support can staff give to help your child to keep learning at home?

For more details of your childcare options, or help in fi nding childcare in the East Riding, ring FISH on (01482) 396469.

Following on from the success of previous series, Hull City Hall has announced the line

up for its new International Masters Series.

In the past few years Hull City Hall has played host to some of the world’s most distinguished orchestras and ensembles, and this series is no different. Featuring the best in both international and domestic talent, audiences will not want to miss the chance to hear some of the most beautiful pieces of classical music ever performed live.

To open the season, we are delighted to welcome back the world renowned Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra of Moscow Radio (Tuesday, 19 October). This orchestra was awarded the distinction of being named the Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra of Moscow Radio by the Russian Government due to its contribution to Russian music. Performing under their principal guest conductor Terje Mikkelsen, the concert will begin with a suite from Grieg’s dramatic Peer Gynt, followed by Sibelius’ passionate Violin Concerto. In the second half of the programme, the orchestra will perform Rachmaninov’s Symphony No.2. First conducted by the composer himself in 1908, this heartfelt, passionate symphony expresses only too well Rachmaninov’s great melodic gift and his extraordinary talent for rich orchestration and is now regarded by many as the culmination of the great Romantic Russian symphonic tradition of the 19th Century.

The highly distinguished Austrian orchestra, the Salzburg Mozarteum Orchestra will be making a visit to Hull City Hall for the very fi rst time. (Monday, 22 November). The programme will open with Schubert’s ethereal Symphony No.8, commonly known as the Unfi nished Symphony. The orchestra will then be joined by one of the UK’s most popular pianists, Freddy Kempf, who will be performing Mozart’s Piano Concerto No.23 in A major. This classical masterpiece illustrates emphatically why Mozart’s piano concertos have been so enduringly popular ever since they were fi rst performed. In the second half of the concert, the orchestra will perform Beethoven’s Symphony No.6, also known as the Pastoral, which wonderfully evokes the countryside around Vienna that Beethoven loved so much.

The award-winning Hallé will also be returning to Hull this season under the distinguished conductor André de Ridder, to perform the stunning string harmonies of Vaughan Williams’ Fantasia inspired by the great Elizabethan composer, Thomas Tallis (Friday, 14 January). Ilya Gringolts, the awe inspiring young Russian violinist will also be performing one of Schumann’s greatest masterpieces, the Violin Concerto in D minor. This poignant, passionate and dramatic concerto certainly requires the

talents of a true virtuoso. The concert ends with Brahms Symphony No.2 which is arguably the most popular of Brahms’ symphonies and is packed with warmth and joy to give an unforgettable, thrilling fi nale.

We will also be giving a warm welcome to The Vienna Tonkünstler Symphony Orchestra, who have been established as one of Vienna’s most distinguished orchestras for over 100 years (Friday, 11 February). The orchestra will be conducted by their new music director Andrés Orozco – Estrada and will be opening the concert with Mozart’s stunning Overture to the Marriage of Figaro.

The immensely talented Natasha Paremski will also be accompanying the orchestra in Beethoven’s grand Emperor Piano Concerto which has been loved by audiences worldwide since it was fi rst composed in 1809. In the second half the orchestra will be performing Beethoven’s inspiring Symphony No.7, the symphony Beethoven himself described as one of his greatest works.

For our penultimate concert of the season, we are extremely fortunate to welcome the world renowned Bolshoi Symphony Orchestra, who have been at the centre of Russian musical life for over 200 years (Friday, 6 May). Their performance will include extracts from Tchaikovsky’s great opera Eugene Onegin, including Polonaise, Tatiana’s Letter Scene, Onegin’s aria and the Final Duet. These performances will also feature some of the principal opera singers from the Bolshoi Opera Company. In the second half the orchestra, under conductor Alexei Stepanov, will perform a suite from Tchaikovsky’s most popular and much loved ballet, the Nutcracker. To hear the Bolshoi Orchestra and principals of the Bolshoi Opera perform in Hull will undoubtedly be one of the highlights of the season.

Our season ends with a rare visit

from the Philharmonia Orchestra, one of the most renowned orchestras in the UK (Sunday, 29 May). The concert will undoubtedly be one not to be missed as the orchestra will be conducted by one of the legends of the classical music world. Lorin Maazel has recently completed a long and distinguished tenure as music director of the New York Philharmonic and has since gone on to develop a successful music relationship with the Philharmonia Orchestra. In the fi rst half of the concert, the orchestra will be joined by the outstanding young French pianist Lise de la Salle in one of Mozart’s youthful piano concertos, Piano Concerto No.9 in E fl at major, justly named Jeunehomme. The programme will end with Mahler’s deeply moving Symphony No.5 in C sharp minor with a fantastic fi nale which is sure to take the audience’s breath away.

With such a wide variety of talented Orchestra’s booked for this series, Classical music fans are guaranteed to fi nd something to entertain them at Hull City Hall this series.

To end the year with a bang, we will also be hosting our Christmas Party Nights which will include some exciting events such as a Traditional Christmas Banquet, the Voulez Vous present ABBA for a fabulous night of dining and dancing and Chrysalis Discos will be providing some top class entertainment (17 – 18 December). The Christmas Meal Menu will include some fabulous food and with a broad range of options there is sure to be something for everyone. To ensure a place at this year’s festivities, we recommend booking now to avoid disappointment.

Tickets for all the shows can be purchased from the Hull City Council Booking Offi ce under the Hull City Hall, Carr Lane, Hull. Alternatively, call the booking and information line on (01482) 226655 or visit www.hullcc.gov.uk/hullcityhall

DEAD LIKE YOUby Peter James (Macmillan)This excellent crime writer has based his latest bestseller on the case of the “Rotherham Shoe Man” who raped more than 20 women (and stole their shoes in the 1980s) but, of course, features his � ctional character, Detective Superintendent Roy Grace of Brighton police. One of the best things about this novel is its appreciation of the impact of rape on victims and the changing attitudes of the policemen who have to investigate it. This indeed is a desperate race against the clock to identify and try to save the life of the next victim. Its 550 pages make a compelling read.THE FIELDS OF DEATH by Simon Sparrow (Headline)When this book was published on 18 June, which is the anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, it went immediately to the top of the bestsellers’ lists where it remained for some time. It details the rivalry between two great military commanders, Viscount Wellington and Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of France. After Napoleon’s defeat by the Russians and again at Leipzig, Wellington takes the opportunity to crush him once and for all at Waterloo. THE FIELDS OF DEATH is the last in Simon Scarrow’s series about these two giants. MERSEY VIEW by Ruth Hamilton (Pan)Ruth Hamilton is the bestselling author of 20 previous novels set in the north-west

of England. She was born in Bolton and now lives in Liverpool which is indeed where this novel is set. At the age of 45 Lucy Henshaw decides to leave home, a decision that has not been taken lightly since her marriage has been broken for 18 years. She leaves two sons, a daughter, a cat, a drawer � lled with unpaid bills, and a husband who, after landing her with three children, spent 20 years forging signatures, re-mortgaging property and bleeding her dry of her inheritance. Lucy purchases a beautiful home overlooking the Mersey and builds a new life with new friends who come to her rescue when her husband falls ill. Always a wastrel and a fraudster, he takes the opportunity afforded by his illness to complicate Lucy’s life all over again.ENVYby Coleen Nolan (Pan)This debut � ction title from Coleen Nolan is set in the world of daytime TV, a subject, of course, with which she is well acquainted. Coleen is a member of the world-famous girl group, The Nolans and a lead presenter on ITV1’s daily chat show, Loose Women, as well as writing columns for newspapers and magazines. Her autobiography was a bestseller and sold over 65,000 copies. ENVY features a late night talk show presenter, Karen King, who discovers her husband is having an affair. Then the best job in television comes along and she wants the job but so do some of the biggest divas in show business, and some of them will do anything to sabotage Karen.

Wednesday, 27 October 7.30pm

The Spa Theatre, BridlingtonSung in Italian, with piano accompaniment La Bohème is one of the most famously melodious and eternally popular of all operas, featuring such wonderful arias as ‘Che gelida manina’ (your tiny hand is frozen), ‘Mi chiamano Mimì’ (they call me Mimì) and Musetta’s Waltz Aria, ‘Quando m’en vo’.Set in a bare garret in 1830’s Paris we meet four young Bohemians whose carefree attitude is poignantly contrasted with the harsh realities of life. Mimì, a solitary seamstress, falls madly in love with Rodolfo, the poet, and we follow their passionate and tragic love affair along side the tumultuous relationship of their friends Musetta and Marcello. This is a fabulous choice for the opera virgins and an all time favourite for the cognoscenti – Puccini’s tunes are all

enveloping and the story seems so real that most will end up with at least one tear in their eye during the � nal chords, as Rodolfo cries out for his lost love…Mimì…Mimì!! This production is performed in period costume, with piano and full set.Adults £15, concessions £12 available from the Spa box of� ce (01262) 678258.

This council is pursuing equality of opportunity in employment. The council is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and vulnerable adults

THE East Riding prides itself on providing development opportunities both for its

existing staff and those it seeks to recruit.

This year will be the eleventh round of graduates that the council have recruited under this development initiative as professional graduate trainees.

The 12 month scheme allows graduates to undertake specialist individual and group projects across the council’s directorates enabling them to gain knowledge, skills and experience of differing service activities. It is an excellent way of balancing academic learning against the practicalities of organisational reality. Trainees are provided with the opportunity to work on projects that achieve tangible outcomes as a practical way of developing the generic skills needed in the ever-changing world of local government management.

In the words of four of our previous trainees:

“The East Riding of Yorkshire Council graduate scheme allows you to work for a forward thinking and dynamic local authority.” Sarah Bargh

“Throughout the 12 months it provides invaluable training opportunities and enables experience to be gained in a variety of service areas and team environments.” Richard Jackson

“You will have a fantastic opportunity to build working relationships with colleagues within the council as well as external organisations. Project management experience is gained through undertaking various individual and group projects.” Victoria Smith

“Overall the graduate scheme will allow you to develop a multitude of skills whilst making a real contribution to the objectives that the council wish to achieve, setting you on the right path to an interesting and rewarding career.” Gemma Waygood.

For more information on the current vacancies for this scheme, visit www.recruiteastriding.co.uk

Calling all graduates

Council provides development opportunities for existing staff and those it seeks to recruit

Victoria is currently one of the council’s professional graduate trainees and works on a series of projects across the council both individually and with the fellow graduates.Her tasks vary from week to week, but Victoria says she enjoys the variety, the project aims and objectives saying that working in different teams is providing lots of experience.Victoria said: “The hardest part of my job is developing the knowledge at the beginning of a project as I only have 12 weeks in each project before moving onto the next one.“Recently, I had to develop an information package for GPs that contained information on healthy lifestyles and now I am looking at the different ways people can contact the council and how it can be improved.”Before joining the council in January 2010, Victoria studied management and marketing at Hull University.Victoria said: “I enjoy working for the council because it has a good reputation and it is well known in the community.”

Hourly rates of pay are currently: £7.04 per hour (point 9) - caretakers £6.29 per hour (point 4) - cleanersAccommodation services supply caretakers and cleaners via service level agreements to many East Riding schools, as well as covering council of� ces and other premises from Goole to Bridlington to Withernsea and all areas in between. Servicing such a large geographical area means vacancies often arise at short notice in remote locations which can be hard to attract applicants to � ll. The team also face dif� culties in retaining staff for roles which can be part-time and may include hours worked early in the morning or in the evening and so can be hard to � t around family life as well as being physically demanding.

New lease of life for KGV playing fi elds

The new pavilion at King George V (KGV) playing fi elds in Cottingham has been opened.

The £280,000 Cottingham Playsport building replaces a former facility on the site which was destroyed in a fi re.

Councillor David Rudd, chairman of East Riding of Yorkshire Council, who jointly opened the new pavilion, said: “The pavilion will provide the people of Cottingham and the surrounding area with fi rst class opportunities for a wide range of sport and leisure activities.

“I would like to thank everyone who has worked so hard to refurbish and improve this new facility, including the friends and

Community Trust of the KGV playing fi elds.”Gary Cooper, chair of the KGV Community

Trust, said: “The KGV Community Trust and Friends of KGV are so very pleased to have been involved in breathing new life into our old pavilion. It has been through the hard work of volunteers and council offi cers working together that has seen the refurbishment with a new and improved pavilion of which we are all very proud.”

A purpose-built sprung wooden fl oor in the sports hall will be used to provide a range of sports, leisure, social and recreational activities.

The new multi-purpose room will be able to hold events including meetings and children’s parties. It will support classroom education for resident sporting clubs.

An expanded kitchen will be able to cater for those inside and outside the building with serving hatches to both the function room and

the playing fi elds.The council for the time being is running

the facility and is working to bring about a management transfer to the KGV Community Trust in the next few months. It is hoped that this will result in further development of the facilities and activities to help the pavilion become an important part of the community.

HIGH quality music is on offer thanks to a concert series, organised by the council’s arts development service, that runs from October 2010 to May 2011.

The series offers a wide variety of concerts at Beverley, Bridlington and Pocklington.

The season opens in style with the London

Theatre Voices presenting ‘Opera, Opera, Opera’ at The Pocklington Arts Centre on Wednesday, 6 October at 7.30pm. London Theatre Voices are a quartet of singers who have sung in most of the UK’s Opera Houses and several abroad.

Richard Durrant is making a welcome return

to the Toll Gavel United Church, Beverley, on Thursday, 14 October at 7.30pm, with his renowned “Guitar Whisperer” concert.

At The Spa Bridlington on Wednesday, 27 October (7.30pm), Oyster Opera will be performing La Bohème. Sung in Italian, with piano accompaniment,

La Bohème is a fabulous choice for both people familiar and those new to opera. This production is performed in period costume, with piano and full set.

For a full brochure of the season’s concerts and more information, please call June Mitchell, community arts of� cer, on (01482) 392651.

Concert series promise a musical treat

SEPTEMBER is the launch month for the exercise campaign ‘Exercise4life’ and Haltemprice Leisure Centre will be helping to promote the campaign raising funds for The Wright Foundation, who conduct research into heart failure and cancer rehabilitation.

Lisa Kirby, � tness co-ordinator at Haltemprice Leisure Centre, said: “We decided to support the Exercise4life campaign because it is a good way to get the community together, helping them to adopt healthier lifestyles and keep � t whilst raising money for heart failure and cancer rehabilitation research.

“There are several challenges to choose from including swimming, various dance classes for all ages and indoor cycling classes. We also run free jog along and walking the way to health sessions.”

More information and application forms are available online at: www.exercise4life.org or from the reception at Haltemprice Leisure Centre.

THE of� cial launch of the ‘Way of the Roses’ cycle route is taking place on Saturday, 11 September.

This new, 169 mile coast-to-coast cycle route is between Morecambe on the Lancashire coast and Bridlington via Lancaster and York.

Much of the route makes use of existing National Cycle Network routes, adding new links to achieve a continuous well-signed route.

Plans have been made for the whole route to be cycled on the of� cial launch day, with longer distance riders being joined by local riders for shorter sections as they pass along the route.

The route has been developed by a range of partners, including the council and tourist organisation Visit Hull & East Yorkshire, in conjunction with Sustrans the UK’s leading sustainable transport charity.

More details can be found at: www.wayoftheroses.info

For more information about the route in the Bridlington/East Riding area, contact Liz Philpot, Bridlington renaissance, on (01262) 401112.
