ast Riding of Yorkshire
Council recently
celebrated the official
opening of Brough Business
Centre – with the offices
already 75 per cent let.
The council has now developed
eight such centres, with
split funding from Yorkshire
Forward, the European Regional
Development Fund and the
council’s capital programme.
Councillor Stephen Parnaby
OBE, leader of the council, said:
“The centres provide valued and
well used facilities for businesses
to access advice, support, training
and networking opportunities.
“The work that has gone

into developing and improving
the business centres is a vital
investment in the East Riding’s
future and the current economic
downturn makes it all the more
important that we maintain our
work to support businesses.”
The Brough Business Centre
has been created through the
renovation and remodelling of
the ‘old flying club’ on the BAE
Systems Ltd site on Skillings Lane.
The project has been designed to
assist in the creation and survival
of business start-ups and also to
develop a unique partnership with
BAE Systems by accommodating
their existing supply chain on
site with priority for office space
being given to companies in
the advanced engineering and
manufacturing sectors.
Tony Arksey, site director of BAE
Systems, Brough, said: “Everyone

Jon Fell, a director of video

“The offices are modern, spacious
and fitted out to a very high

“We often invite clients to our

Youth Assembly tackles the issues that face young people
Giving young people

he hard work
undertaken by the
East Riding Youth
Assembly (ERYA) hasn’t
gone unnoticed and
recently they were filmed
for BBC2’s Democracy In
Action programme.
Assembly member Sam
Stainforth said: “We work hard
all year on different campaigns.
Our current one is about getting
a transport discount card for
young people. It was great that
the BBC came along and filmed
what we are up to.”
The transport discount card
is aimed at 13-21 year olds.
The ERYA sent a questionnaire
out to young people and the
800 replies showed a definite
demand for free transport. It’s
hoped that a pilot scheme on
four bus routes will take place
soon.
The Youth Assembly is also
involved with the Councillor
Shadowing Programme.
Councillors Jump and
Abrahams have allowed Mollie
and Laura, two Youth Assembly
members, to shadow them as
part of a national initiative to
encourage young people to get
involved in local democracy
and experience leadership
within their local communities.
ERYA was set up in October
2003 and is made up of around
40 young people aged 11 to
19 who aim to improve the lot
of other young people in the
East Riding as well as having a
good time with lots of fun and
opportunities for themselves.

„ LEADING LINES
LEADER OF THE COUNCIL
COUNCILLOR STEPHEN PARNABY OBE
IT’S holiday time for many people and
whilst some will be jetting off to Europe
and the far corners of the world, many
this year will be taking their break within
the UK. The importance of tourism to the
local economy of the East Riding is massive
with visitors spending an estimated £402m
annually, and, equally important, the industry
provides in excess of 10,000 jobs.
Many visitors are attracted to our coastal
resorts staying in hotels, guest houses,
and particularly caravan and holiday home
parks. Individuals and families will be in the
area, possibly staying for several weeks,
maybe taking a traditional week’s holiday
or weekend breaks and others will be
day visitors. Two years ago, recognising
that tourist destinations are not based on
administrative boundaries, East Riding of
Yorkshire Council partnered with Kingston-
upon-Hull City Council to form Visit Hull
and East Yorkshire. Staff transferred into
one unit to promote the region’s many
attractions.
A substantial amount of public funding
and support goes into this hugely important
area – including funding from the Regional
Development Agency,Yorkshire Forward
– to raise the profile of the coast; seaside
towns; the Wolds; market towns; and
picturesque villages. By recognising the area
is larger than the East Riding, people will
also visit Hull with its many museums, art
galleries, and other attractions, such as The
Deep, which gives an all round customer
experience. We also recognise that visitors
will travel to York and North Yorkshire as
part of their break and the new tourist
organisation ‘Welcome to Yorkshire’ has
a tremendous role in giving the region
extensive publicity.
Clearly the recession has had a big
impact on holidays abroad, particularly with
the low value of the pound to the euro
and dollar, and ultimately that will change.
Our role is to try and make the visitor
experience a great one. People involved
in the tourism industry, either directly or
indirectly, will be doing everything they can
to achieve this but we can all play our part.
We should all be proud of our area, what
it has to offer and welcome people to our
wonderful part of the country. The UK has
many visitor destinations and the tourism
market is hugely competitive. We want our
visitors to enjoy their stay and to tell their
families and friends how fantastic the place
is to ensure they keep coming back.
Surface dressing
It’s that time of year again when East Riding of
Yorkshire Council give members of the public
the chance to use their cars/vans as an aid to road
resurfacing.
It is so annoying that after paying all that road tax,
council tax and fuel tax, the council would be able to
afford some kind of roller to press the gravel into the
road instead of the general public doing it for them
and being peppered with stone chips and cracked
windscreens!
I refer (in this instance) to the Leven bypass
‘scattering’, however, it could be coming to a road
near you.
Whatever happened to finishing a job off?
Come on, East Riding of Yorkshire Council,
spend some of the money we give you on equipment
instead of letting us ruin our pride and joys!

A plea for more dropped kerbs
UNFORTUNATELY, owing to having difficulty
with becoming disabled through chronic illness
and old age, I decided to cease driving after
holding a licence for more than fifty years and
bought a buggy in order to keep some of my
independence.
I find this invaluable as the shopping area in
Driffield is so compact and flat.
I know some people grumble about us but
hopefully they will never need such an aid and be
perfectly fit all their life.
Yes, you have to be careful as the pavements
in some areas are narrow and drivers coming
through the archways from the rear of the
premises on to the main road do not realise that
they are directly on to the pavement and it is
dangerous to pedestrians, people with pushchairs
and buggy owners.
I try to be very conscious of other people who
are walking, giving them plenty of room and often
stopping to let them pass.
The majority do not even acknowledge this – in
fact I wonder how many actually ‘see’ me.
However the main complaint is that very
few of the pavement junctions in the town have
DROPPED KERBS.
It is often necessary to look for an easy access
to the road which is usually the entrance to a
garage or where the existing kerb is broken.
You may be aware that buggies are not designed
Dear Mr Moffatt
Surface Dressing is a treatment widely used by
this Council as part of our highway maintenance
programme and undertaken each summer as the
process relies upon adequate temperatures to ensure
that the outcome is successful.
Surface Dressing is an extremely cost effective
process and allows carriageway improvements to
extend road life and improve skid resistance at a
fraction of the cost of reconstruction, particularly
valuable as demand always exceeds available road
maintenance budgets.
The process involves the application of a layer
of bitumen binder followed by the application
of graded grit-stone chippings to provide a new
running surface. I must point out that we do use a
12 tonne multi-wheeled roller immediately after the
chippings are applied to gain initial embedment of
the chippings into the binder. The road is opened
to traffic as soon as possible (generally within 30
minutes) after the treatment in order to reduce any
disruption to traffic.
You will be aware that warning signs are placed
warning of loose chippings and appropriate speed
(20mph) at the time of dressing and these remain

to climb more than two inches otherwise they

I remember some years ago the Government of
the day sanctioned funds to improve facilities for
the disabled.
Has the money been fully absorbed?
Mr R Helliwell, Driffield
Dear Mr Helliwell
It is East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s practice
to include dropped kerbs as part of any new
highway improvement scheme. We also insist
on dropped kerbs being installed on all new
developments as part of the planning application
process. The council has a limited annual
budget available to provide these facilities where
requested across the existing highway network.
As you can appreciate, requests are numerous
and we must prioritise the use of these funds
to benefit the majority of users. Therefore, for
example, town/village centres, shopping areas and
primary pedestrian routes are considered first.
In Driffield, following requests from the
Driffield and District Access Group and
individuals we have recently installed seven
dropped crossings within the town. Should you
have any specific areas in mind we will be pleased
to asses the locations for similar treatment.

in place while any loose chippings are present until
final sweeping of the surface some days after. This
is a necessary part of the process as secondary
embedment of the chippings does indeed take place
aided by the action of traffic over a period of some
days (it is also worth noting that this embedding
process continues over several years which
necessitates the resurfacing in the first instance).
I trust that you find the above information useful.
However more technical information can be obtained
by visiting the website of the Road Surface Dressing
Association at www.rsda-gb.co.uk.

Low energy bulbs
Please can you tell me where I can safely dispose
of these sort of bulbs when they have ‘blown’ as I
understand that they contain mercury, which surely
can’t be good in landfill?
Perhaps they’re not so eco-friendly as we have
been led to believe!
Mrs C Sims, Market Weighton
Dear Mrs Sims
You are right, low energy light bulbs should not go
into landfill.
They can be taken to any of the council’s ten
household waste recycling sites where containers are
provided.

Confusion over green
and blue bins
I am initially writing with the cynical view that this
letter has no chance of being printed in your next
edition of the East Riding News.
However, I was in hysterics after reading some
of your letters in the July edition and also your
excellent guidance and publicity on pages 8 and 9
concerning blue bins.
This is because I recently witnessed our dustmen
put our full blue bin in with the normal green bin
rubbish.
We placed both bins out after a bank holiday and
were confused what collection was taking place.
I was then shocked to see that they placed both
bins in the same truck meaning there was no way our
rubbish was recycled.
What is the point of us separating and collecting
our rubbish for a month?
We have significant interest in recycling and like to
help in any way possible, but I want to know what is
the point when our efforts are not being reciprocated
by the local council?
Paul Smith, Bridlington
Dear Mr Smith
We are happy to publish your letter and to reinforce
the view that there is every good reason to recycle
and compost as much as possible.
If a resident puts the blue bin out on the same
day as the green bin collections, it is seen by the
collection crew as a sign that the recycling is
contaminated and it is to be taken away.
It is for that reason that we have distinct rounds
for the green and blue bins and on separate days.
I can assure you that the materials collected from
the blue bins are sent for recycling and are not sent
to landfill.
John Skidmore, head of streetscene services
Coaches in Beverley
I would like to know why there is no parking area for
touring coaches in Beverley.
Any coaches coming into Beverley have to drop
their passengers off, then go out of town to park in a
layby until it is time for them to pick up again.
Doesn’t East Riding of Yorkshire Council want
tourists to come to our town? If something isn’t
provided the coaches will stop coming, depriving the
town of much needed revenue.
Mrs M Needham, Beverley
Dear Mrs M Needham
East Riding of Yorkshire Council does provide
facilities to allow coaches and coach parties to visit
the town.
In Beverley a coach drop off/pick up point is
provided in the town centre outside the Magistrates
Court on Lord Roberts Road.
A coach parking area at Beck View Road offers
coach drivers toilets and refreshments. Nearby shops
are located within a 10 minute walk.
Coaches are welcome at any time, but we do ask
coach operators to prebook where possible via the
council’s website.
Booking is not compulsory but it does ensure
the council provides coach operators with the best
possible service.
Bookings may also be made through the council’s
Tourist Information Centre on telephone number:

How council investment helps business through the downturn
Investing in our future
„ BY Jonathan Howell
E. eastridingnews@eastriding.gov.uk
A
£100m package
of investment
announced to boost
the local economy over three
years has seen good progress
since it was launched in
February.
The accelerated capital
programme has been designed
to help the East Riding’s valued
local contractors in the current
economic climate, ensuring the
area retains its construction
skill base, which will be of vital
importance as the economy
recovers.
Councillor Stephen Parnaby,
OBE, leader of East Riding of
Yorkshire Council, said: “The
council has worked hard to
secure and identify funding
streams to enable the accelerated
capital programme to be
implemented. This significant
level of investment not only
improves the council’s road and
buildings infrastructure, but will
also support local contractors in
this time of need.”
Shaping the regeneration of Bridlington
REGENERATION plans for
Bridlington reach an important
stage this month with the next
stage of consultation on the
Bridlington Area Action Plan
(AAP), which will ultimately
become part of the East Riding’s
formal planning policies.
The consultation period will
run from Monday, 10th August
to Monday, 5th October 2009.
A series of exhibition events
will provide outline details
of developments planned for
Bridlington over the next 10 to 15
years.
The consultation documents

Other
schemes
ACCELERATED capital programme
work is being carried out across a
wide range of areas.
Sites are being chosen for £18m
of new affordable housing. The first
wave of planning applications is due
to be submitted by autumn to allow
£6m of investment by April 2011.
Following detailed surveys of
existing council housing stock, a
major programme of investment has
been agreed including £1.2m of re-
roofing works and £1.9m to install
modern bathroom and kitchens.
A £4.4m flood mitigation
programme should see £2m spent
by April. Around £400,000 has
already been spent on schemes
including flood-water storage
in Kitchen Lane Beverley and
interactive flood screens which
allow water levels to be remotely
monitored.
Work to create new multi-service
centres, which will see residents
able to access several council
services on one site, is currently in
the preparation stage as is work to
replace Bridlington Leisure World.
Building work on the first wave of
these projects is expected in the new
financial year.
Major improvements to the A164
between the Humber Bridge and
Beverley are currently in the design
stage. Work on the overall £13m
scheme is expected to commence in
2010/11 and last for a year.

How the council’s Village Visits scheme targets the issues that matters to residents

A facelift for local villages

„ MAKING A DIFFERENCE: Mike Connor at the start of the scheme in Bishop Burton

VILLAGES throughout the
East Riding can expect a call
from helpful council officers
seeking to improve the
look and safety of the local
community.
The village taskforce visits
for this year are already well
underway and many villages
will see a co-ordinated
taskforce team of grounds,
street cleansing and highway
services teams carrying out a
spring cleaning operation over
a period of about two weeks.
Every rural parish benefits
from the scheme on a two
yearly cycle and, traditionally,
tasks include pothole repairs,
street sign replacement, street
sweeping, grass cutting, hedge
pruning and painting of litter
bins, benches and railings.
This year the primary focus
of the visit has been given to
gully cleaning and drainage
maintenance.
Councillor Matthew Grove,
portfolio holder for highway
maintenance, streetscene
and emergency planning, said:
“Though often unseen, an
effective gully and drainage
system is a vital part of our
streetscene infrastructure.
“We can never guarantee
the systems being able to cope
with the unprecedented levels
of rainfall that we saw in June
2007, but a concentration on
this element during this year’s
taskforce visits, together with
the massive investment in
time and money being made
by the council to address
flooding issues, will I hope give
residents some confidence
that our systems have been
given every chance.
“Farmers, land owners
and partner organisations
are also playing their part by
maintaining land and field
drains and together we aim
to reduce the risks of major
flooding in the future”.
Mike Connor, taskforce and
environmental enforcement
manager, said “The village
streetscene visits are hugely
popular.They offer the East
Riding of Yorkshire Council
the opportunity to focus local
works tightly on the issues
which really matter to local
people.The initiative is a real
win, win situation - better
services to residents and
more efficient working for the
council.”
„ A CUT ABOVE:
Dave Riley, a
groundsman for
the council on one
of his grass cutting
duties

We want your views

AS ever, the council is keen to involve local residents in the
identification of streetscene maintenance issues and to get their
feedback on the quality of work carried out. A survey and prize draw
are undertaken with residents in parishes which received the Taskforce
spring clean each year. At the draw made by Councillor Grove at the
end of last year’s programme, the winner North Cave was given £100.
A similar survey will be carried out throughout this year so watch out
for the form and postage paid reply envelope in an issue of East Riding
News following works in your village. You could win £100 just for
sharing your views and it’s free to respond.

STRIPPING GYPSY: The Life
of Gypsy Rose Lee by Noralee
Frankel (Oxford: £12.99). Born in
1914 in Seattle, Gypsy performed
in a vaudeville routine with her
sister June as a child and by the
age of 17 had joined the striptease
troupe at Minsky’s Burlesque
in New York. She developed
a sophisticated song style to
accompany her teasing dancing
and became the first burlesque
artist to achieve widespread
fame. She was also the first to
transfer her act to the legitimate
Broadway stage when she played
in the Ziegfeld Follies. As well
as being politically active, Gypsy
was the author of two crime
novels, one of which was “The
G-String Murders” which was
published here in paperback
by Pan Books in the late 1950s.
Her autobiography,“Gypsy”,
was a tremendous success as
a stage and film musical. Her
younger sister became famous
as a Hollywood film star as June
Havoc. This book is an engaging
delight, written with real skill
about a woman who was a legend
in her own lifetime.

YOU’RE COMING WITH ME
LAD... by Mike Pannett (Hodder:
£12.99) Mike Pannett was born in
