New waste serviceBy Gillian Pattison

[email protected]

YES TO:Food waste plate scrapings cooked food, meat, fi sh and bones fruit and vegetable peelings tea bags and coffee grounds uncooked food

Cardboard cereal boxes, inner plastic removed packaging, no polystyrene corrugated cardboard egg boxes

Garden waste grass cuttings hedge clippings plants and fl owers weeds leaves, bark and twigs

Your brown bin

Holderness residents will be able to put food waste and cardboard in their brown bins from the end of April.

Teams from East Riding of Yorkshire Council will start delivering a kitchen caddy and cornstarch liners to all homes from late March.

Councillor Symon Fraser, portfolio holder for environment and planning, said: “This is just what our residents want, an easy way of recycling food waste and cardboard.

“With food making up a third of the waste going into the green bins, this new service will make a big difference to the amount being sent to landfi ll every year.”

The council’s waste and recycling

offi cers will be on hand during the roll out to explain how to use the new service. Residents will also be able to access information on the council’s recycling website, www.target45plus.org.uk

The food waste will include leftover meats, fi sh and bones. The collection of this waste from the brown bins is now possible because of a new system of composting which heats it to remove the risk of health hazards.

The cardboard should be stripped of wrapping, cellophane and sticky tape, be slit and fl attened and placed loose in the brown bin.

Following the introduction of the new service, the brown bins will be emptied every two weeks.

NEWS IN BRIEF

East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s Adult Education Service now has three new area teams in the North, East and West to ensure the adult education service offer meets the needs of each community.

The council’s local adult

education centres in Hornsea, South Holderness and Withernsea provide excellent opportunities for learning. The team also runs courses in the community.

There are a huge range of courses available at venues across the East Riding including

computer skills, creative studies, health and well-being, French, Spanish, drawing and painting, maths, English, and employability.

Anyone looking for new skills for work, life or home can pop in to any of the centres or ring (01964) 533942.

The council’s fostering service is launching a short breaks scheme and is looking for people interested in becoming carers.

of time in the carer’s own home.

The children in the East Riding who need short break care are from birth to 18 and have a learning or physical disability or sensory impairment such as sight or hearing loss.

Short breaks can include mid-week overnight stays, weekends, in term-time or school holidays and are planned in advance.

To fi nd out more about becoming a short break carer ring the fostering team on (01482) 396673.

The outreach service offers initial business support and pre-start up advice through to providing training as well as support for existing businesses.

Jayne Nendick, chief executive of the Shores Centre, said: “It’s fantastic to see localised start-up and enterprise support happening here in the heart of Southern Holderness.”

Jayne added: “We have all heard the statement – it’s not

what you know but who you know. Developing key contacts with the business team, who have a range of networks and contacts spread across the whole of the East Riding, can prove such a valuable resource.”

Adrian Shaw, business services manager, said: “The outreach service in Withernsea provides access to a trained business adviser, who has the local knowledge and experience to help businesses grow.

“The council also has business centres, located on the outskirts of towns in the East Riding.”

LEADING LINESLEADER OF THE COUNCIL, COUNCILLOR STEPHEN PARNABY OBE AND NIGEL PEARSON, CHIEF EXECUTIVE

WELCOME to the fi rst edition of Your East Riding, the new council magazine for residents. This new magazine replaces East Riding News and will now be published quarterly.

We hope that you will fi nd each edition full of information and stories about some of the 500 services the council provides.

Your East Riding also features news and events from your local area. Beverley, Bridlington and Driffi eld, Goole and Howdenshire, Haltemprice and Hunsley, Holderness, and Market Weighton and Pocklington have their own pages which will make each edition more tailored towards residents.

In the current economic times Your East Riding also offers the council a considerable cost saving, as we have reduced publication from monthly to quarterly and changed the way the publication is distributed.

We feel it is important to continue with a regular publication as it is still the most cost effective way to communicate with

you, our residents, about key council services and initiatives.

This issue we have focussed on the recently set council budget for 2011/12.

The funding reductions we face over the next few years are very challenging but we believe by pulling together we can manage our way through without having to make the level of service and staffi ng reductions seen elsewhere.

The budget for 2011/12 and the council tax was set by elected members at their budget meeting on 10 February and as promised last May there will be no rise in council tax this year.

For more information about the budget and council tax see pages 16 and 17.

The new magazine format is still made from paper from sustainable forests, is fully recyclable and once you have read it, can go in your blue bin.

We hope you enjoy this new publication and would welcome your comments to [email protected]

YOUR EAST RIDING



In the next few days every household in the East Riding will receive a census which is part of a national survey of the population. Since 1801 a national census has been

completed every 10 years (apart from in 1941 during the war).

This time the survey will arrive in the post from Monday, 7 March onwards in a white envelope printed with a purple C.

It needs to be completed on or around Sunday, March 27 either on the form provided or via the secure website www.census.gov.uk

The form takes about 10 minutes for each adult in the household and less for children. It should take around 30 minutes for a family of four.

Census information is anonymous for 100 years and is protected by law. No-one will be contacted as a result of what is written on the form.

Once the information has been cleared of all personal information it is used by central and local government, health authorities and others to identify the services and facilities they need to provide in the future.

Anyone who has problems fi lling in the census can check the website www.census.gov.uk or ring the helpline on 0300 0201 101.

A member of census staff will visit every household who hasn’t fi lled in the form by Wednesday, 6 April. Census staff will all be wearing yellow tabards and have identifi cation badges. They will also have copies of barcodes which can be used if the original form has been misplaced.

Royal partiesBy Jonathan Howell

[email protected] If the following conditions apply to a street then no licences or other permissions are needed. Simply get in touch with the council which will arrange the administration for a free road closure:

• through traffi c will not be affected

• party for residents only (70 per cent need to agree to hold the street party)

• no sale of alcohol (residents can provide their own drinks)

• entertainment and music is organised and run by the residents

• tombola or raffl e tickets are only sold on the day and go to a good cause, a charity or towards the cost of the party and prizes are not worth more than £500.

Street closures

With two years of big royal celebrations coming up, East Riding of Yorkshire Council is working with residents

planning public celebrations.People throughout the East Riding who

want to hold a street party to celebrate the Royal Wedding this year or the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee next year should speak to highways offi cers. In some cases the team can help them to arrange for their streets to be closed for free.

Susan Johnson of North Frodingham has been working with the team to close North Town Side Road in the village.

She said: “We wanted to hold a street party for the Royal Wedding and raise money for a new playground for Frodingham. We’re hoping to sell tickets and raise money for the play area.

“I think the older generation will love it, hopefully it will be a lovely day, but if it’s not then we’ll move into the community centre.”

The Royal Wedding will take place on Friday, 29 April, and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee will be celebrated from Saturday, 2 June to Tuesday, 5 June 2012.

Anyone holding a street party for the Royal Wedding should apply before Friday, 18 March.

Criteria for closing a street are opposite. Anyone who does not meet the conditions can still contact Rod Towse, the council’s highways events offi cer, who may be able to help, email [email protected] or telephone (01482) 395629 or write to Traffi c and Parking Services, East Riding of Yorkshire Council, Beverley Depot, Annie Reed Road, Beverley HU17 0LF.

The East Riding Coastal Change Pathfi nder is one of 15 Pathfi nders in England.To date, the council has spent more than £260,000 of its Pathfi nder funding and will carry the remaining amount over into the new fi nancial year from 1 April.The council uses Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) technology to update its coastal erosion dataset every six months.

» HELP IS AT HAND: The council can offer practical assistance to residents at risk

D I D Y O U K N O W ?

» NEW VOTERS: Pupils at Hornsea School looking forward to voting for the fi rst time

Last year, the council secured £1.2 million as a one-off grant from

the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) to become a Coastal Change Pathfi nder. Through the Pathfi nder, the council is providing practical assistance to residents whose properties are at risk from coastal erosion.

The Holderness coast is one of the fastest eroding coastline in Europe. Average erosion rates are 1.5 to 2 metres a year, but in any

one period some locations experience much greater losses due to natural coastal processes.

The Pathfi nder criteria have been set to help individuals at both high and imminent risk from coastal erosion, with levels of risk being calculated using best practice coastal erosion monitoring data.

Of the 39 households engaged in Pathfi nder to date, 27 have received fi nancial assistance to adapt to coastal change. Households have received help with the costs of

property demolitions, site restorations and relocations. Some individuals have received essential white goods to furnish their new properties.

Later this month, the council’s cabinet is due to consider amendments to the Coastal Pathfi nder, among which are introducing a small grants scheme to support coastal change adaptation and coastal fl ood resilience and expanding the criteria for assistance to consider those with dwellings at projected risk between 2025 and 2055.

For more about bins, recycling sites, recyclable materials and composting visit: www.target45plus.org.uk

Residents across the East Riding are being urged to use their local recycling sites or

lose them.The 140 bring sites on car

parks such as at supermarkets and pubs, are under review by the council and those not suffi ciently used will be removed.

John Skidmore, head of streetscene services, said: “We

need to identify sites which are consistently under-used so we can move banks to those areas needing additional capacity.

“The trend seems to be that residents are recycling while doing their shopping and using the banks at supermarkets and the household waste recycling sites, which are fi lling up more rapidly.

“Only those banks which

have had consistently low use will be considered for relocation, so residents are urged to show their support for their local banks and use them whenever possible.

“No banks will be removed without agreement with the parish council.”

In the 12 months to April 2010 more than 4,500 tonnes of recyclable materials was collected from the banks.

Groups wanting assistance to promote their local bring site should contact the council’s waste and recycling offi cers on (01482) 395586.

The council is offering advice and information to East Riding businesses to ensure they comply with the legal requirements around managing waste.

A booklet is also available on the business waste section of www.target45plus.org.uk or contact the team on

(01482) 395580 or email [email protected]

Businesses have a legal duty of care to ensure their waste is transferred to a licensed disposal facility or reprocessor.

They must also have a trade waste collection agreement in place with

either the council or a private contractor. Waste Transfer Notes must be produced when waste is transferred from one company to another.

Businesses are also reminded that they are not allowed to dispose of waste at the council’s household waste recycling sites.

Residents using commercial type vehicles or large trailers to take materials to the household waste recycling sites (HWRS) must apply for new permits.

The current permits are valid only until Thursday, 31 March and from that date will not be accepted at the council’s 10 sites.

Application forms for new permits are available at the HWRS, at the council’s customer service centres and can be downloaded from www.target45plus.org.uk

The disposal of commercial waste at the sites is against the law and can result in East Riding tax payers footing the bill for its removal.

A permit system for residents using commercial type vehicles or large trailers has

been in force at the HWRS since August 2001. To prevent traders abusing the system, more stringent applications and time limited permits were introduced last year.

» HIGH STANDARD: David Winter lends a hand with sign cleaning as he works with the team

A popular programme to help East Riding villages stay

looking their best will be launched this spring.

A pilot in 2010 saw villages in Holderness benefi t as streetscene staff became familiar faces.

Every village that previously received the village task force will now be part of this new initiative and be visited every three weeks.

Staff from the council’s streetscene grounds maintenance service will

take on tasks including grass cutting, strimming, sweeping, minor pothole repairs, sign washing, litter-bin painting, and pruning hedges, including those over-hanging signs and footways.

Other maintenance issues will be identifi ed by the teams, parish representatives and residents.

Councillor Stephen Parnaby OBE, leader of the council, said: “Residents of the East Riding take great pride in – and look after – their villages and towns.

“This council shares the commitment to working together to maintain this high standard.

“This programme is an example of how we can reduce the cost of a service through fl exible working and residents giving feedback to the team on the ground.

“This new initiative of visiting villages every three weeks is a big step forward which allows any issues to be corrected faster than before.”

Anyone should feel free to point out maintenance issues with the team or raise the matter with their parish council representative or councillor.

Short breaks give a disabled child a great opportunity to:

• have fun• widen their social circle• develop independence and confi dence.Comprehensive training and support is available. Carers do not need to have experience of working with disabled children and all carers receive an allowance.

Budget decisions2011 budget protects essential services

Government funding reductions to local authorities, announced in December, are unprecedented in recent times

in their speed and severity. The council faces a reduction in

government funding of £30 million over the next four years much of which will fall in the fi rst two years. Savings achieved in previous years will be used to help spread this impact over three years.

Nevertheless, East Riding of Yorkshire Council had been expecting the news and, through careful fi nancial planning, the council is in a stronger position than many others (despite much lower than average Government grant funding) and has been able to set a budget that protects essential services.

The council has been working on projects to achieve savings of £10m over the next two years. These include rationalising the use of council premises, better procurement of goods and services, and improved productivity and service delivery. Savings of £4m-£5m have already been identifi ed.

Councillor Stephen Parnaby OBE, leader of the council, said: “As predicted, local government has taken a massive hit as the Government seeks to cut the national defi cit with big funding reductions for the public sector.

“The East Riding has not been treated more favourably than other councils but through forward planning and taking early action we have been able to mitigate the effects of grant reductions, avoiding unplanned cuts and knee-jerk reactions.

“The budget we have set protects key services and allows us to fund the priorities for the East Riding agreed with our partners and residents.”

As part of the consultation process, the council has for many years held budget conferences prior to setting the budget and council tax in February for the forthcoming fi nancial year.

This year’s event, held in Beverley, once again gave a wide range of people representing different interests in the community a chance to have their say and let the council know their views. Over 60 delegates attended.

One of the top priorities they identifi ed was highway repairs, which was not surprising as the event was held in the

aftermath of the prolonged severe weather which had created further damage to East Riding roads.

In reply to a question, Councillor Parnaby confi rmed that repairing road damage was a high priority for the council. He also told delegates that, through the Local Strategic Partnership, funding had been made available to town and parish councils to help them deal with the snow and ice in their communities. This had been well received and he hoped similar arrangements could be made in future when bad weather strikes.

The council’s capital investment programme, which funds new and improved buildings and other essential infrastructure, contains more than 1,000 schemes completed at a value of £675 million.

Once again, the council will be undertaking a substantial programme of work in 2011/12 valued at around £70 million. The level of investment is possible as a result of successful bidding for external funding and a long-term approach to asset management.

The £100m fi scal incentive package of investment for 2009/10 to 2011/12 is set to continue. This planned investment to assist in sustaining local contractors during the economic downturn has not been affected by the Government funding announcements.

A highlight will be completion of a programme, backed by £20m funding from the Homes and Community Agency, to deliver 331 new council properties – the fi rst new council housing in the East Riding for decades.

D I D Y O U K N O W ?In 2011 the traditional TV signal will be switched off in the Yorkshire region and

replaced with a digital one. For most this is not

a concern, but some may fi nd it harder to make the switch than others.

The Switchover Help Scheme has been set up by the Government and is run by the BBC and is designed to make digital TV easy for

older and disabled people by converting one TV to digital in the run-up to the switchover in their region.

People living in the East Riding, served by the Belmont transmitter, begin to switch in August.

People eligible for help include those aged over 75, have lived in a care home for six months or more, get or could get disability living allowance, attendance

or constant attendance allowance, mobility supplement and those who are registered blind or partially sighted.

Older and disabled people living in the Yorkshire area are urged to watch out for Switchover Help Scheme information packs that explain how they can get extra help to convert one TV to digital in time for the switchover.

Road repairsBy Jonathan Howell

[email protected] Some of the larger improvement schemes include a £1 million resurfacing programme on the A166 between Fridaythorpe and Wetwang and £600,000 improvement of the main routes through Holme-on-Spalding-Moor.

Major improvement is planned for Well Lane in Bridlington after the holiday season. Other signifi cant schemes include repairs to the B1228 at East Cottingwith and Southside in Kilham.

The surface dressing programme will see 850,000 square metres of road treated which is 210 football pitches or the equivalent of doing 142 km of road.

What’s next...

Roads throughout the East Riding are set to improve as the council starts an ambitious resurfacing programme.

Anyone who uses the roads on a regular basis will have noticed that the third successive severe winter has again taken its toll on the nation’s highways.

Some East Riding roads have suffered severe damage placing great pressure on budgets for maintenance at a time when the council is facing reduced grants from the Government.

The repair programme which is under way will last for months. A programme of surface dressing to extend the life of roads has also been planned.

Councillor Stephen Parnaby OBE, leader of East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “Our highway teams continue to work fl at-out to carry out temporary repairs to potholes and permanent patching to offset the worst of the damage.

“Now we need to carry out more extensive repairs through our resurfacing programme, which is a key part of keeping our roads in the best order possible.

“While there will be a small amount of disruption during the work, I’m sure everyone will understand how important it is to repair our roads for the long-term.”

The work will be funded from the council’s own budgets and through emergency funding from the Government.

East Riding residents are being given the chance to be wildlife wardens as part of a campaign to protect roadside verges.

The Country Mile project is a joint venture by East Riding of Yorkshire Council and North Yorkshire County Council to care for verges which provide habitats for a wide range of wildlife.

Verges escaped the ravages caused by pesticides, herbicides and fertilisers, and are relics of habitats once common in the countryside.

They are now under threat from fl y tipping, the spread of non-native species, road salt and chemicals and the encroachment of scrub species.

Councillor Symon Fraser, portfolio holder for environment and planning, said: “Even simple things all help, such as not driving up onto the verges and mowing them only in the later summer months. There is great interest in our environment and local people will want to be involved.”

Volunteers will join the Country Mile warden network. For more information contact Michael Newton, biodiversity project offi cer, on (01482) 391719 or [email protected]

The Country Mile project is funded by the LEADER Coast, Wolds, Wetlands and Waterways, a programme which supports rural development with money from Defra and the EU.

The council cares for 1,100 hectares of highway verges. This includes 70 verge nature reserves across the East Riding, such as in Bishop Wilton and at Wayrham on the A166.The local verges support a wide range of wildlife including orchids, marble white butterfl ies, bats, owls and common lizards.

anyone thinking about it. The rewards are great but it is also challenging.

“It does take up a lot of time but if you’ve got the commitment, then go for it, you can really make a difference to a child’s life.”

As part of fostering fortnight (14-29 May) East Riding of Yorkshire Council is looking for potential foster families to come forward. At the moment the council has a large number of babies and toddlers, aged under four, who are waiting to be fostered.

Dave Glenville, fostering team leader, said: “We’re always keen to hear from people who want to fi nd out more about

being foster families but at the moment we’re particularly interested in hearing from people, like Karen and Luke, who want to look after children under three. Foster carers are paid a weekly allowance and the council provides all initial and ongoing training and support for free.

“Fostering can be a very rewarding and fulfi lling career for people from all walks of life. Being placed in a kind and friendly foster home can make all the difference to a child’s life.”

The next ‘fi nd out about fostering’ event is on Wednesday, 13 April at Tickton Grange Hotel. For more information ring (01482) 396673.

Karen Cartwright has always wanted to work with children but it wasn’t until she had her own daughters that she decided

to become a foster carer. Now, fi ve years later she and her husband Luke have made fostering their full-time career.

Karen said: “I’ve always done voluntary work with children and was interested in becoming a foster carer. Once my girls were three and fi ve we decided to begin fostering.”

Karen and Luke specialise in caring for babies and toddlers under three years and have looked after a number of children over the years.

Karen said: “We are short-term foster carers so we have babies and children before they either go back to their parents or on to adoptive families. The shortest placement we have had was an emergency for one day, and the longest was about 18 months.

“The initial assessment took about six months and was really helpful. It was also very thought provoking as they make you think about your childhood and what makes you who you are.”

Karen and Luke decided to specialise in babies and toddlers so they would always be younger than their birth children.

She said: “I love my job as I really enjoy helping the children and making a difference to their lives. The best bit is seeing the children grow and achieve fi rsts, which there are a lot of in this age group, fi rst teeth, fi rst steps, fi rst foods.

“I would recommend fostering to

WORKING TOGETHER



Flood planningBy Charlotte Richardson

[email protected] To help residents plan ahead for emergencies including fl ooding, severe weather and pandemic fl u, East Riding of Yorkshire Council has produced a booklet containing advice about how to be prepared.

The booklet includes information, advice, important contact numbers and a simple household emergency plan which can be fi lled in and kept somewhere safe.

For a copy of the booklet ring the emergency planning team on (01482) 393095 or to request an electronic version email [email protected]

Flood advice

As we approach the fourth anniversary of the 2007 fl oods, residents and community groups across the East Riding

are being reminded to consider having a fl ood plan, so they know what to do in an emergency.

Flood plans list useful contact numbers, tips for how to protect documents and furniture, and escape strategies.

They also encourage individuals and groups to think about how they will be informed if a fl ood is likely to happen, either by creating their own local indicators or signing up to the Environment Agency’s free fl oodline warning direct.

As part of a national exercise from 7 – 11 March, agencies such as local councils, the police, fi re and rescue services, ambulance services and the coastguard will be joining together to test their fl ood plans

and emergency strategies.Councillor Jonathan Owen, portfolio

holder for performance, improvement and partnerships, said: “We’re encouraging residents and groups such as town and parish councils and schools to think about what they would do in the event of fl ooding. Filling in a fl ood plan can be a great way to make sure all the information is available should the worst happen.

“No-one wants to see a repeat of the fl ood of 2007 but we have to be aware that we live in a fl ood risk area and as such it is always worth being prepared.”

To fi ll in a personal or community fl ood plan log on to www.environment-agency.gov.uk click on ‘fl ood’ and then under the heading ‘How can I be prepared?’ click on ‘make a fl ood plan.’ To sign up for the Environment Agency’s fl oodline warning direct ring 0845 988 1188.

Residents urged to prepare fl ood plan

win a holiday in Yorkshire. The Change4Life competition is being run by the council and NHS East Riding of Yorkshire to encourage families to take small steps to exercise more and eat healthier.

Each of the families will now be supported until around Easter time to look at changes for life and the family judged to have made the most improvement will win the holiday.

Dawn Branton, public health lead, said: “We were looking for fun, innovative ways which families can maintain in order to get fi t and healthy together long term. The Wardle family had an innovative way of keeping fi t and spending time together as a family and we were also impressed by their application which was written by Phoebe.

“All the families have been chosen as

they each face different challenges, like most of us in today’s society, when trying to eat healthily and keep fi t and we want to help them achieve a good balance while giving all families across the East Riding ideas to eat well, move more and live longer.”

The Wardle family from Bridlington are celebrating after being shortlisted in a healthy lifestyle competition.

Kay Wardle, her husband Chris and twins Phoebe and Oliver, aged 9, were chosen for their varied exercise regime.

Kay said: “Chris and Oliver are skateboarders, Phoebe goes dancing three times a week and at weekends we all go ice skating or geocaching. Geocaching is a kind of high-tech hide and seek, where people fi nd local co-ordinates on websites, type them into their phones then go and fi nd the ‘treasure’ that has been left behind.

“Sometimes we can walk for miles, all four of us together, while searching for the treasure, which is usually some little plastic toys. The children love it.”

Kay admits that like many busy working parents she is perhaps the weak link in their family team when it comes to regular exercise.

She said: “I don’t do as much exercise as the others so that is something we could work on as part of this competition, it’s simply a case of not having enough time. I like to walk and pick the children up from school but most of the time I am in a rush and have to drive.”

The competition is also looking at what the families eat and how they could eat more healthily.

Kay said: “It’s always a battle trying to cook healthy meals which are quick to prepare, as both Chris and I work full-time.”

The family are one of four from across the East Riding who are in the running to

The Hull Truck production of Lady Chatterley’s Lover comes to The Spa Bridlington on Thursday, 14 April at 7.30pm.

Lady Constance Chatterley is trapped in a loveless marriage.

Injured in battle, her husband, Clifford, is unable to satisfy her sexual desires and so Constance fi nds herself drawn towards a man she meets in the woods.

As their passionate love affair reaches its climax, the constraints of Constance’s class-led society are broken down as the

two lovers fi nd fulfi lment with each other.Written in 1925, DH Lawrence’s

controversial work was banned from sale until 1960 for its frank and explicit depiction of sex and its portrayal of a passionate and adulterous love affair.

Adapted and directed by Nick Lane and designed by Pip Leckenby, this production is a faithful reworking of one of the 20th century’s great stories.

Tickets are priced at £14 for adults and £12 for concessions.

WARNING: Contains adult scenes. Recommended for ages 14+.

Recommended dose: one brand new show to be taken annually (I said annually).
