Capacity increase attracts bigger stars

BETTER BY SPA

H undreds of extra fans will have the chance to see big name acts

play at The Spa Bridlington after a recent change in the venue’s capacity.

The Spa can now hold 3,800, an increase of 300 since its £20m refurbishment last summer. The move makes the venue a more attractive tour location.

Councillor Jane Evison, portfolio holder for cultural services, housing and public protection at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “We are constantly working on bringing good quality live entertainment to Bridlington and the region and we feel that we are now in a different and much improved league.

“We hope that residents and visitors alike will continue to support the venue and we look forward to welcoming friends old and new. We would like to take this opportunity to thank them all

for their continued support.”Offi cers from Humberside Fire

and Rescue inspected The Spa during the sold-out Oasis concert in August before approving the change last month.

Since refurbishment The Spa has hosted acts including The Kooks, Scouting for Girls, Jools Holland, Jane McDonald, Kasabian, Lee Evans and Jimmy Carr.

It has also hosted events including the Yorkshire International Business Week Dinner, the World and Masters Blackball Pool Championships,

the BDO British Open men’s darts singles, the Winmau World Masters and the Legends of Darts, BBC One’s Antiques Roadshow and the McCain Foods national conference.

Andrew Aldis, general manager of the Spa, said: “The demand has been such for the recent concerts that we felt it was a necessity to move towards an increased capacity.

“We have been working hard alongside fi re safety and licensing departments to ensure that the building is ready to make that further step.”

FAN-TASTIC: More tickets will be available for fans to see top artists such as Paul Weller (top left) and the Prodigy (bottom left)

SEQUINS, jumpsuits and quiffs will descend upon Bridlington when the town holds the English qualifi er for the Elvis World Cup during a three day Elvis Weekender from 19-21 February.

The winner of the event at The Spa Bridlington will represent England at The World Cup Final in Cardiff on 4 July, 2010.

Andrew Aldis, general manager of The Spa said: “We are very excited to have been chosen for this fantastic event.

“The whole weekend sounds like it is going to be fun from beginning to end.

“We hope that Bridlington and the region will embrace this festival.”

Elvis comes to town

WORK is underway on the new park and ride facility for Bridlington, which forms a key part of the town’s integrated transport plan to improve traffi c fl ow and road safety in the town.

The council has secured £5.7 million from the Government to implement the plan.

The park and ride is being constructed on the existing South Cliff car park and will provide secure parking for up to 1,000 vehicles with a dedicated bus or land train connection into the town centre along a sea-front route. Access will be via a new road

running along the existing access road and through the South Shore Caravan Park.

Other highway improvements are also currently being undertaken outside the main holiday season to minimise disruption and are scheduled for completion in March 2010. These include new roundabouts and the removal of an existing small roundabout on Bessingby Road/Hilderthorpe Road, which will be replaced by traffi c signals and road widening.

A new electronic car parking monitoring and signage system is to be introduced, which will direct

motorists to the nearest convenient car park with available spaces. Some road reclassifi cation and new signing to direct and control traffi c around and in the town are also planned.

Councillor Stephen Parnaby OBE, leader of the council, said: “The Bridlington Integrated Transport Plan has been several years in the planning and design stage, so it is good news that the main work is now in progress.

“The changes, which will provide better access to the town and help resolve some long-standing traffi c congestion problems, are an important part of the regeneration

programme to revitalise Bridlington and bring greater opportunity and prosperity to the town.”

Meanwhile, the council is looking at a range of potential measures which would benefi t access to various education sites, including the recently redeveloped East Riding College, and also improve road safety.

These improvements would form part of the Local Transport Plan.

Design work is in progress. If a suitable scheme and funding can be secured, local residents will be asked for their views at a public consultation.

Work begins on Bridlington’s park and ride service

Another step into Beverley’s history

A n impressive two and a half metre-high metal hide

– the latest sculpture to be installed as part of Beverley’s Town Trail – has been installed in the town centre.

The cut-out of a carcass from 30mm-thick plate steel is impossible to miss and is a striking start to the trail.

Councillor Jane Evison, portfolio holder for cultural services, housing and public protection, said: “I’m delighted to have seen this piece being installed. Beverley has a wealth of history and the trail will inspire people to discover this. Visitors and residents alike will be able to learn something from the valuable work that has been carried out to create this trail.”

The hide is part of the second wave of installations which illustrate the historic guilds of Beverley. Other artworks that have been installed as part of the second wave include:• A snake wrapped around a

lamppost depicting Barber-

Surgeons at Toll Gavel• A beaten-copper

representation of the traditional clothing item, a jerkin, suspended overhead at Beaver Passage

• Line drawings of healing plants that have been transformed into pavement plaques to represent the apothecary trade at Landress Lane

• Two stone-carved pavement plaques representing wallpaper on Highgate; Beverley was the fi rst town in the country to manufacture wallpaper.

With the hide installed, half of the pieces that make up the trail will have been fi tted and the trail is expected to be completed next year. For more information visit www.beverleytowntrail.net

This year’s Beverles Festival of Christmas will take place on Sunday, 13 December from 10am – 4pm and will feature a Christmas market, a sleigh ride of Father Christmas drawn by live reindeer, a Victorian fair, car rally, marching bands, historic re-enactment of a street battle and lots of free entertainment for all the family.

Santa’s Sleigh, drawn by the Cairngorm reindeer, leaves Wednesday Market at 10am, with the offi cial opening in Wednesday Market in the presence of the Chairman of East Riding of Yorkshire Council and Mayor of Beverley.

At approximately 10.15am, the sleigh will proceed to North Bar Within returning to Saturday Market where the reindeer will stay until 1.30pm.

A park and ride service is available. Shuttle buses will take visitors from the Westwood into town.

Programmes are available from Beverley Tourist Information Centre.

PRIORITY: Curbing traffi c speed

LEADING LINESLEADER OF THE COUNCIL COUNCILLOR STEPHEN PARNABY OBE

THE ninth annual East Riding Local Strategic Partnership (ERLSP) Conference took place at The Spa Bridlington in late November. The focus of the conference was Planning for the Future and ERLSP’s response to the economic downturn. It was also an opportunity to focus on the challenges that could be brought about by the Comprehensive Area Assessment (CAA), which is a new way of assessing how effectively local partnerships work together to deliver the priorities of local people.

Approximately 300 enthusiastic delegates from across the county attended this year’s conference. I had the relatively easy task of introducing the day and making some closing remarks.

So what is the ERLSP and what does it do? It is, not surprisingly perhaps, a partnership that brings together a range of organisations. The partnership is made up of East Riding of Yorkshire Council, Humberside Police, Humberside Fire & Rescue Service, NHS East Yorkshire, the Probation Service, representatives from business, the voluntary sector, representatives of the Government Offi ce for Yorkshire and the Humber, and Yorkshire Forward among others. It is widely recognised that organisations can no longer operate in isolation and the work of the LSP includes setting targets and aims to improve the quality of life for residents, for example tackling unemployment and worklessness; anti-social behaviour and re-offending; reducing serious injury and fatalities on our roads; smoking cessation; safety in homes; tackling problems faced by the elderly and young people, including teenage pregnancy, and many more.

The targets - set to a national criteria but allowing local fl exibility - are agreed by the Government Offi ce and can result in reward grant via the Local Area Agreement (LAA). All parts of the country have such arrangements in place and it has to be the way forward. With funding becoming tighter along with expectations increasing, all of us need to work together, reduce duplication and make sure all our efforts are directed at front line services. The conference was very successful with input from local representatives and a real will to move forward.

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

LETTERS TO THE EDITORBy post: Andy Acum, Letters to the Editor, East Riding News, Room HG115, County Hall, Beverley, HU17 9BA By fax: (01482) 391407 By email: [email protected]

Residents’ complaints of speeding motoristsI was fascinated by council leader, Stephen Parnaby’s editorial in the September edition, and can empathise with the difficulties of pleasing everybody in this anything-but black and white world.

Of particular interest was his reference to speeding motorists being one of the most common complaints from residents.

Motorists feel “innocent” when speeding, I believe, because they make a personal assessment of the safety of their speed and drive accordingly, regardless of any speed limits in force.

What they tend to disregard is the broader issue of the quality of life of the residents whose area they are speeding through - noise, vibration, reduced property value, and that general feeing of unease as you are walking with your children, or maybe the dog, and a car or larger vehicle comes close by at 50+ mph (cyclists must feel it even more!).

I suggest that the council should have no conscience when providing measures to curb traffic speed, providing (a) it is to enforce existing speed limits (ie to enforce the law), (b) the measures do not cause damage to vehicles passing at legitimate speeds.

If the measures have been requested by local residents, so much the better.

I would be interested to learn what cost-effective measures the council currently favours to address this issue.

Bryan Burton, Elloughton

Dear Mr BurtonReducing the number of people killed or seriously injured on the East Riding’s roads is a priority for this council.

Members and officers are happy to address concerns about speed, but must prioritise areas where more people are injured in crashes and where speeds are greatest.

Rather than one favoured solution, there are a number of traffic-calming measures which can be tailored to the road in question to encourage responsible driving.

Where these measures are used, they are to a standard in line with national legislation.

These are put in after consultation with interested parties including parish councils, residents and road users.

Speed limits are a legally enforceable maximum rather than a suggested speed.

I would encourage drivers to use a speed safe and appropriate for the conditions of the road they are on, whether that includes sharp bends, heavy rain, winter conditions, pedestrian crossings, children playing or traffic-calming measures.

Dave Waudby, head of infrastructure and facilities

Maximum recycling Following on from the £25 letter in the November edition I wondered if our recycling tops all….

We have a new self-build property and when we first commenced the build never bothered regarding a bin …. and continuing on some three years later have never applied for any type of bin whatsoever.

We have a large outdoor storage box which we

bought ourselves and keep within it inside, all pre-sorted glass bottles, plastics, cans, cardboard, (now even separating the waxed drinks cartons) paper of any description, foil and garden waste (separate in your green collapsible bags at the side of it) and the two only bags of actual household rubbish we make every seven-ten days take it all, to either Hornsea or Bridlington sites on any day when we happen to be passing. We ask nothing of the refuse collectors and don’t really expect it after living in Spain for over three years when it was part of your daily routine to

carry your rubbish round to the nearest collection trade bin. What’s more my husband used to drive a refuse lorry when we lived back in Sheffield so knows the horrors of what a typical day can consist of with some of the ungrateful public and their demands!

Perhaps the lady who wrote would not find it too difficult to simply take the small amount of household rubbish she makes to the tip, at the same time when she is taking the other stuff. Its not too difficult.

Sue Housley, Skipsea

Libraries open to all Libraries open to all - but not if you are in Driffield on a Wednesday or during the week between the hours of 1pm and 2pm. Can you please explain why the Driffield library is closed on a Wednesday in modern day when nearly all the shops are open all day? I realise that historically Wednesday was half closing day but this does not happen now. Also with at least four staff in the library some days, why does the library close at lunch time? Surely lunch hours could be staggered to allow the library to remain open?

I was returning from a trip to Scarborough on Tuesday morning and intended to return a book but unfortunately arrived back in Driffield at 1.10pm. I was in the town on Wednesday morning but, of course, still couldn’t return the book. I had to wait until Thursday and by then the book was overdue.

I was really impressed on a recent visit to Beverley library. What a marvellous automated system they have there. If the reasons for not being open all the time are due to costs, why can’t we have a similar system in Driffield. However, I must say that the staff are all very friendly and helpful when the library is open.

Mrs Barbara Turner, Driffield

Dear Mrs TurnerThank you for your letter making us aware of your

concerns.In common with many of our libraries Driffield is

not open every day, as we try to match service hours with demand and control our operating costs. At some sites we have added extra opening sessions in the last few years but in general these have not been particularly successful or demonstrated value for money.

Similarly we have introduced lunchtime opening in libraries where staffing was available but again the volume of use has not been good. We can analyse use of libraries on an hourly basis and this shows that library use over lunchtimes is very limited in all of the branches, even where it has been available for many years. It is therefore more appropriate to concentrate staffing at times when the library is busier.

If you are not able to return books there are a number of ways in which you can renew the loan and avoid overdues, these include a 24-hour telephone service and over the internet through our website.

The library service has placed a contract this year for supply of the self-service equipment that you have seen in Beverley Library and this will be installed in Driffield in due course.

Alan Moir, libraries, arts and heritage group manager

Problems with ivy Driving regularly from East Yorkshire to Newmarket via Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire, it is disturbing to see mature trees strangled by ivy, in some cases covering their trunks and all their branches.

Is ivy harmful to trees? If so, are there any voluntary organisations dealing with it?

Mrs B D Jakins, Nafferton

Dear Mrs JakinsCommon Ivy is a native evergreen shrub that will trail over great distances and climb to considerable heights. Ivy is not parasitic so there is no direct damage caused to trees which its uses as a support. The dense evergreen foliage can obscure structural defects such as cavities, potentially weak forks and fungal fruit bodies. In a moribund tree the remaining live crown may be suppressed and the weight of evergreen foliage can render the tree liable to be blown over therefore, management of trees covered with ivy should consider tree safety, conservation and aesthetics. A healthy tree is normally unaffected.

YOUTH groups across the East Riding are invited to apply for funding from two schemes to support a wide range of activities and projects.

The Youth Opportunity Fund (YOF) and Youth Capital Fund (YCF) are available to groups working with young people, aged 13 to 19 years.

Previous applications have allowed groups to buy new equipment, promote cultural programmes, install pieces of equipment and supported the development of a transport concessionary card.

Applying for funding is straightforward, groups should send for an application form and information notes and then return the form to County Hall, Beverley. If the criteria for the funds are met, representatives from the group are invited to a panel meeting to present their bid and a decision is made about the awarding of funds.

Megan Price, senior youth worker, said: “The youth funding panel includes young people who play a vital role in ensuring that the funds are allocated appropriately and the money is spent wisely.

“We are very interested to hear from groups who would like to make a positive contribution towards young people in the community.”

For more information about the funding available ring Jayne Clarke on (01482) 392809 or Megan Price on (01482) 392834.

KITCHEN CAPERS: Pupils and teachers at the Let’s Get Cooking start up day

PLAY TIME: New play areas give children more ways to have fun

CHILDREN in the East Riding will have more opportunity to enjoy the outdoors as six new and revamped play areas open.

The six sites are just some of the 24 to be put in place throughout the East Riding by March 2010.

The move comes after East Riding of Yorkshire Council was given £2.5m from the Department for Children, Schools and Families.

As one of 20 authorities nationally taking part in the Play Pathfi nder scheme the council was given the money to spend on developing play

spaces and opportunities.More than £500,000 towards

play projects in the East Riding was also given by the Big Lottery fund.

Residents, children and young people have been among those involved in designing the new spaces.

Sites which have just opened include Cullington Fields, Tickton and Warwick Drive, Molescroft.

Sites due to open very soon include Kirkham Road, Bridlington, Aldborough village hall, North Ferriby playing fi eld and Wylies Road, Beverley.

Six new outdoor play areas open

Schools get cooking

B udding Jamie Olivers and Delia Smiths across the East Riding will have the

opportunity to learn cookery skills at school-based cookery clubs after signing up to a national cookery scheme.

In total 20 East Riding schools have signed up to the Lottery-funded Let’s Get Cooking scheme which allocated places on a fi rst-come fi rst-served basis, with priority going to schools with a higher number of pupils eligible for school meals.

Primary and secondary schools applied for places and those that were successful were invited to two training sessions for the adults leading the club.

Four pupils and two adults from each club were then invited to a launch event at Beverley Racecourse where they practised their cooking skills by taking part in a cookery day.

Each school will receive £2,500 of funding over three years to set up a cookery club at their school.

The money can be used to buy everything from cookers to teaspoons and also to help with the club running costs such as ingredients.

The schools will then run cookery

clubs at lunchtimes or after school to teach basic cooking skills to pupils, families and the wider community through club sessions and community cooking events.

There is also funding for East Riding schools that already have a cooking club.

Existing cooking clubs can apply to join as associate members of Let’s Get Cooking and receive £500 to help expand their cooking activities to parents and members of their local community.

Lisette Baker, Regional Club Coordinator for Let’s Get Cooking, said: “It’s brilliant that East Riding schools are so keen to get cooking and we are delighted that so many

local schools signed up so quickly.“Now they have completed their

training they will be ready to begin their own club cooking sessions.”

B ullying can have a destructive and harmful impact on the lives of

children and young people. It not only affects those being bullied but also those who bully and those who stand by without intervening or seeking help.

It can lead to feelings of self-doubt, lack of confi dence, low self-esteem, depression and sometimes even suicide. It can also affect the ability of a child or young person to enjoy, achieve and to be healthy, both physically and emotionally.

The East Riding Local Strategic Partnership (LSP) acknowledges the importance of recognising that bullying exists and is working across a range of partners, including schools, to address bullying and some of the many associated issues. The LSP has set a target in its Local Area Agreement to reduce the instances of children who experiencing bullying.

So what are some of the things being done in the East Riding to support children and young people?

Schools and youth organisations recognise that a regular, sustained

approach to raise awareness of bullying issues and challenge bullying behaviour is more effective than a short sharp campaign once a year. However, the annual anti-bullying week, which took place in November was used by many schools and youth groups to promote and enforce the message that bullying in any form must be addressed at all times and that it is everyone’s responsibility.

The theme of this year’s week was cyber-bullying. Cyber-bullying is a growing form of bullying where an individual or group uses electronic forms of contact, particularly mobile phones and the internet. This form of bullying can be particularly stressful as the bullying follows the victim into their home and invades their privacy.

As part of the national launch of anti-bullying week, a group of young people from the East Riding was invited to present their project “Speak, Solve, Stop” at the launch in London. This project has produced a DVD which is accompanied by guidance notes for use in schools

To achieve National Healthy School Status (NHSS), schools have to demonstrate that they have an effective policy and strategy for anti-bullying. Currently, 147 of East Riding schools have achieved NHSS, with the remaining three

schools in the process. There are clear messages to

emerge which are relevant to all schools and developing a whole-school approach where children and young people work with adults to create an environment where bullying is not tolerated is central to this.

Listening to what children and young people say and working with them to fi nd possible solutions will ensure that instances of bullying are managed appropriately and that

children and young people have trust and confi dence to report instances.

For more information about the council’s anti-bullying policies please ring Jackie Brewis, youth service manager, on (01482) 392802 or email [email protected]

Help and advice for dealing with bullying can also be found on the Anti-Bullying Alliance website www.anti-bullyingalliance.org.uk or the Childline website www.childline.org.uk

Tackling the bullies MAJOR CONCERN: Young people from the East Riding

present their project “Speak, Solve, Stop”

Addressing bullying and the associated issues

BY Charlotte RichardsonE. [email protected]

• In the Ofsted Tellus2 survey, a questionnaire for children and young people in years six, eight and ten, the rate of those being bullied is higher for primary-aged children (24 to 50 per cent) than those in secondary schools (10 to 28 per cent).

• Childline reports that bullying is still the major concern of all calls it receives from children and young people and states that “Half of primary children and more than one in four secondary children said they had been bullied in the last year”.

• Children and young people who move from being bullied to bullying others are at risk of some of the poorest health outcomes of all groups of children and young people.

• Bullying is implicated in around 15 per cent of child suicides every year.

DID YOU KNOW

As part of the “Speak, Solve, Stop” campaign young people have produced guidance and advice for children who are being bullied.What to do if you are being bullied:• Don’t keep the bullying a

secret• Tell a trusted adult – your

parents, a teacher or a youth worker

• If that doesn’t work then keep trying until you are heard

• Keep a diary of incidents which occur and show someone. Keep names,

dates, times and who it was, also if there were any witnesses

• Try to stand up for yourself, act confi dent

• Ignore the bully and don’t let them see you are upset – it will only encourage them more

• Stay calm• Walk tall• Hang with a group• Walk away• Don’t respond with violenceRemember it’s not your fault you are being bullied – you have nothing to be ashamed of.

THE Older Workers Employment Network (OWEN) has just been awarded the matrix quality standard for information advice and guidance services.

The matrix standard means that OWEN has been recognised as delivering excellent information, advice and guidance to its benefi ciaries.

OWEN started work on gaining matrix accreditation in May 2009 and assessors praised the

project’s approach to its customers, specifi cally the new one-to-one ‘information, advice and guidance’ sessions.

Jackie Langley, OWEN project manager, said: “Receiving this accreditation is a real accolade for the project.

“We have all worked really hard to get the award, and the fact that we have been successful is recognition of the excellent service that OWEN provides.

We anticipate that the standard will provide reassurance to our members that they are receiving the highest quality of service and advice available.

“We also hope that now that OWEN is matrix accredited, we should be able to attract and secure new funding streams. A big thank-you to all OWEN benefi ciaries who gave us such excellent feedback.”

TASTE OF THE EAST: Magda Kotlaska serves up Polish dishes

A taste of diversity at Waterways Museum

R efl ecting the increasingly diverse range of cultures that make up Goole’s

population, the town’s Yorkshire Waterways Museum is now offering visitors a taste of Poland.

A selection of Polish specialities, including Gotabki (stuffed cabbage leaves with a tomato sauce) and beetroot soup, has been added to the menu in the café at the popular museum and they’re proving a hit with customers. Most of the

ingredients are grown on the museum’s allotments.

Magda Kotlatska, who works in the café, introduced the Polish dishes. Sue Walker, who oversees catering, has found that the combination of traditional English and Polish dishes complement one another nicely.

Magda, who has been living and working in Goole for fi ve years, explained: “I thought it would be nice to offer members of Goole’s Polish community a taste of home, as well as giving people who have never tried Polish food a chance to taste some of our most popular dishes.”

Clare Hunt, operations manager for the Waterways Museum, said: “Magda’s traditional Polish dishes

are really popular with customers and have been a welcome addition to the broad range of cuisines from around the world on the menu. Not surprisingly given its history as a port town, Goole is an increasingly cosmopolitan, multi-cultural society, with people from a range of backgrounds and cultures living in local communities. We wanted to represent 21st century Goole through the options on the menu and hope to introduce other international dishes in the future.”

The Yorkshire Waterways Museum is located on Dutch Riverside in Goole, and is now open seven days a week, from 9am - 4pm on weekdays and from 10am - 4pm at weekends.

. . . A N D A H A P P Y R E C Y C L I N G N E W Y E A RMerry green ChristmasMerry green Christmas‘Tis the season to be merry and

create mountains of waste.

The number of items we

discard over Christmas and

New Year is longer than Santa’s

shopping list.

It includes rejected toys, card

and cardboard, wrapping paper

and packaging, food, clothing,

trees, smashed Christmas light

bulbs and baubles, drinking

glasses and bottles.

At Christmas last year, East

Riding residents threw away a

staggering 4,700 tonnes which all

ended up in landfi ll. That amount

is equivalent in weight to 335

double decker buses.

Much of this waste could have

been repaired and reused, recycled

or composted, sent to charity

shops or given away.

East Riding of Yorkshire

Council has produced this

guide to offer suggestions about

managing the waste which builds

GlassGlass that is recycled through the local banks can be made into more bottles within weeks.

The banks at the East Riding’s bring sites are available at all hours and are on car parks and supermarkets for convenience.

Not only can some gifts be a disappointment but the packaging is a main cause of waste at Christmas.

Instead of gifts, try something more innovative and less wasteful like vouchers or theatre tickets.

Useful websites include:• www.recycledproducts.org.uk which has over 1,000 products

available made from recycled materials• www.oxfamunwrapped.com for gifts ranging from goats to

school books which go to those in need

Other Christmas waste reduction ideas include donating unwanted presents to charity shops. Further suggestions are to avoid buying or requesting presents that have disposable parts, including batteries. Rather, look for alternatives that use rechargable batteries.

Gifts

A third of the waste dumped in our green bins is food. This is like throwing one in every three bags of shopping straight into landfi ll. It is also a huge waste of money.

The council supports the national Love Food Hate Waste campaign which offers tips including:

• Plan meals by make a shopping list • Don’t be tempted by special offers and

three-for-twos • Save more money by taking your own

shopping bags • Leftover food can be made into

exciting meals. For ideas try www.lovefoodhatewaste.com/recipes

There are about 145 recycling bring sites across the East Riding with banks for glass, paper and textiles.

The sites are in easy-to-reach places, such as car parks and supermarkets so residents can shop and recycle at the same time.

For the location of your nearest sites, visit www.target45plus.org.uk, the council’s website for all its waste reduction, recycling and composting activities.

CardboardTry to keep cardboard out of the green bins as it can be recycled into plasterboard.

Instead, take it to your nearest household waste recycling site (HWRS). To fi nd the nearest site visit www.target45plus.org.uk

CardsChristmas cards can be recycled from the New Year at the collection points at WHSmith, Marks & Spencer and TK Maxx.

Household waste recycling sitesThe council has ten household waste recycling sites across the East Riding. They take a growing number of materials for recycling, ranging from mobile phones to fridges.

The opening times are seven days a week from 10am to 6pm including Bank Holidays with the exception of Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. All sites will close at 4pm on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve.

For more information, including site locations, visit www.target45plus.org.uk

Repair registerThe council provides a register of businesses and organisations that repair or collect all household items.

It is the fi rst port of call for residents wanting to save money by giving items a new lease of life, rather than sending them to landfi ll.

The register is on www.target45plus.org.uk under Waste Minimisation.

Companies and organisations wanting to be on the register should contact John Kelly, the council’s community and sustainable development offi cer, on (01482) 391716 or email [email protected]

T he council has joined forces with Yorkshire Water to warn the public of the risks

of putting fats and oils into the drains.

The new campaign warns that the risks include fl ooding both inside and outside the home as residents pour fats down toilets and sinks.

Called Bin It Don’t Flush It, the campaign is backed by Yorkshire Water’s research showing nearly 40 per cent of residents disposed of fats by fl ushing them down the sink.

A further quarter acknowledged putting items like cotton buds, nappies or sanitary products down the toilet.

Paul Bellotti, the council’s head of community and sustainable development, said: “This situation gets worse the closer to Christmas we get. So, we have joined with Yorkshire Water to highlight the problem.

“The message is that if you pour fats and grease down the sink you risk blocking the pipes and fl ooding your home. Those fats that reach the drains also add to the external problem as they block water from freely draining away.

“A better idea is to pour the turkey fat into containers, let it harden and then put it out for the birds. For residents living near Humberfi eld, there is a recycling bank for cooking oils, the sort

that stay liquid.”Trevor Birch, of Yorkshire Water,

said: “Last year, fat, nappies and wipes were the cause of 30 per cent of fl ooding inside properties in Yorkshire. This campaign is about highlighting the consequences and letting people know how they can play their part in preventing fl ooding inside and outside their homes.”

Last year, Yorkshire Water cleared around 20,000 blockages from the sewers in the region, 50 per cent of them caused by people putting the wrong things down the drains.

THE bad news is that too much food is going into green bins: the good news is that the amount of household waste is going down.

These are among the results of the council’s analysis of waste in the green bins, undertaken in July.

Food made up 33 per cent of the waste in bins, a six per cent increase compared with the analysis undertaken in 2007. Up to half this waste could be composted.

The largest reduction was in garden waste which dropped from 17.9 per cent in 2007 to 1.5 per cent in July due to the council’s roll out of brown bins.

Councillor Symon Fraser, portfolio holder for environmental issues, waste, recycling, strategic highways, planning and rural issues, said: “Analysing the waste in

green bins helps us decide what facilities we should be putting in place.

“Garden waste is a good example. In the 2007 analysis it took up too much of the green bin and was being sent to landfi ll. So, we brought in the brown bins and garden waste is now being sent for composting.

“We know that residents would like to see more of their cardboard being recycled. We are currently running a trial which, if successful, we will offer to all our residents.”

Card and cardboard made up seven per cent of the waste in the green bins; three per cent was metals; six per cent was glass; and over three per cent was textiles which could be recycled or taken to the local household waste recycling site.

INFORMATION packs about next year’s blue, brown and green bin kerbside collections will be dropping onto doormats over the next two weeks.

The packs contain the calendars and bank holiday

details starting in January and for the year.

Since April, East Riding residents have recycled 9,200 tonnes of cans, plastic bottles and paper in blue bins and 16,500 tonnes of garden waste in

brown bins. More than 131,000 households

are now using brown bins. The collections go four-weekly from the middle of December until next March when they revert back to fortnightly.

THE council has announced the venues for its cardboard collection in nine areas in the New Year. Residents are asked to take cardboard to the following points:5 January:Melbourne village hall car park,10am to 11am;Newton on Derwent community centre, 12noon to 1.30pm;Stamford Bridge, shallows car park, 2pm and 3.30pm.6 January:Hotham village hall, 10am to 11.30am;Bubwith, the tennis courts playing fi elds, 12noon to 1.30pm;Snaith railway car park, 2pm to 3.30pm.7 January:Bewholme playing fi elds 10am to 11.30am:Skirlaugh council offi ces,12noon to 1.30pm;Bainton village layby, 2pm to 3.30pm.Information packs on bin collections

Local landlords raise the bar

E ast Riding bars, pubs and clubs working to discourage binge

drinking, encourage safer premises and reduce alcohol-related crime have had their efforts recognised.

In total 24 premises took part in the Best Bar None scheme during its pilot in some towns this year. A Heineken-sponsored awards ceremony in Hessle on Wednesday, 25 November, saw some of the best recognised for their hard work in promoting responsible drinking.

Councillor Jane Evison, portfolio holder for cultural services, housing and public protection, said: “I am pleased that the council is working with the licensed trade to raise standards. It is essential for attracting local trade into the area that East Riding premises remain safe for customers, and that managers run the premises responsibly.”

Licensed premises were

assessed on criteria including door and security policies, staff training and fi rst aid.

Other criteria included how they deal with confrontational situations and people whose judgement may be impaired by drink or drugs, and what systems they have in place to deal with alcohol-related crime.

Of those taking part in the pilot areas in some East Riding Towns 22 received Best Bar None accreditation and plaques.

The winners of the three categories and the overall winner each received an award and plaque to display on their premises.

MANY of us enjoy a drink at Christmas, but regularly drinking more than the recommended number of units can cause to damage your health.

Health experts recommend that women drink no more that two to three units of alcohol per day and men drink no more than three to four units a day on a regular basis. As a rough guide:• one pint of normal strength beer

contains two units • one 25ml measure of spirits

contains one unit of alcohol • one 175ml glass of wine (12 per

cent abv) contains two units and a 250ml glass contains three units

• one 330ml alcopop (4.5 per cent - 5.5 per cent abv) contains one-and-a-half units to two units

• one 440ml can of strong lager (4.6 per cent - 6 per cent abv) contains three units

There are a number of ways to help you watch what you drink, including:• Know your units, choose drinks

with a lower alcohol content.• Don’t buy drinks in rounds, you

will fi nd yourself trying to keep up with others.

• Make every other drink a soft drink, this will reduce the amount of alcohol you drink and reduce the risk of a headache in the morning.

• Use mixers, don’t drink shots. Mixers make your drinks last longer and lessen the effects.

• Set a limit before you go out and stick to it.

• Drink with food or eat before you go out. Drinking on an empty stomach is not a good idea.

• Plan how you will get home and leave your car keys behind.

Moderating alcohol intake will help save you money, reduce your risk of accidents and improve your overall health, fi tness and appearance.

Campaign aims to cut festive drink driving

A major campaign to cut drink driving is being run across the Humber

region as Christmas and New Year approach.

Mick Harris, project manager for Safer Roads Humber, said: “Drink driving is completely unacceptable and often drivers are caught out by not thinking through their plans fully.

“If caught drink driving after a quick drink with friends or the morning after

a night out, it’s not just your licence that you risk - it could be your whole future.

“Losing your licence can result in you being fi red from work and could reduce your future job prospects, which could in turn result in money problems. Being without your car could result in you being stuck at home so that even simple trips like shopping or transporting the kids around become nightmares.”

Six campaign posters have been produced which focus on ordinary people carrying out activities they think are acceptable, leading to life-changing consequences. The posters show how a quick drink after work or driving the morning after a party could put you over the limit and affect your driving.

Inspector Mark Hughes said “Humberside Police have a zero tolerance towards drink driving. If caught driving while impaired by drugs or alcohol the police will prosecute.”

BAR managers and licensees will work closely with East Riding of Yorkshire Council offi cers in the run up to Christmas.

The council will provide advice to help in carrying out under-age checks while promoting responsible drinking. Offi cers will also deal with any illegal activity

As part of a drive to prevent bogus taxis taking advantage

of revellers over the Christmas period taxi ranks will be checked.

Councillor Jane Evison, portfolio holder for cultural services, housing and public protection, said:

“Christmas is a particularly busy time and we know from past experience it can see a minority of people looking to break the law. We want

to remind licensees of their responsibilities and give help and advice with proactive licensing visits.”

The licensing enforcement team will be joined on visits by the council’s environmental control team, who monitor noise levels. Partners including Humberside Police, and Humberside Fire and Rescue Service will also attend and all

offi cers will be happy to give advice on a range of issues to help pubs, clubs and bars stay on the right side of the law.

Tina Holtby, the council’s licensing manager, said: “We have a good working relationship with the licensed trade and these visits will assist them as well as deal with any illegal activity from unlicensed premises or bogus taxis.”

M oney paid in taxes by migrant workers when they fi rst enter

the UK has been used to fund a team of outreach workers to carry out community development work in Goole.

The council was one of several local authorities across the country to be allocated a share of the funding by the Government and the new team started work in October.

Based at the Adult Education Centre on Stanhope Street, it will act as a link between Goole’s migrant worker communities and service providers such as the council, NHS organisations, Humberside Police, and Humberside Fire and Rescue Service.

Its role is to help people who have moved to the area from overseas to access services and overcome any language barriers, as well as feeding information back to service providers about any improvements they could make to ensure that people’s needs are

being met. The team will also work with

organisations such as Goole Town Council and community groups to provide opportunities for local residents and families who have moved to Goole to get to know one another.

Paul Tricker, project co-ordinator, explained: “Because we’re a totally

new team, our role was very much a blank canvas.

“We’ve been getting out and meeting the local community, as well as organising a series of forums for Polish, Russian and Portuguese speakers.

“We’ve already had lots of useful feedback from people and word has spread quickly, so residents are

already dropping in to see us at our offi ce on Stanhope Street.”

Paul will oversee the work of three part-time outreach workers – Julio Chitunda, a Portuguese speaker from Goole; Gosia Matuszek, a Polish and Russian speaker from Beverley; and Greg Futyma, a Polish speaker from Hull.

Staff at an East Riding children’s centre are doing their best to help Polish families settle in by enrolling on a course of Polish lessons. Julie Weatherill family support worker from Driffi eld Children’s Centre is taking the classes along with two police community support offi cers and four playgroup supervisors from Driffi eld Methodist Playgroup. The course, which is run by East Riding of Yorkshire Council adult education service will help staff to talk to pre-schoolers and their parents in their native tongue.Lesley Johnston, assistant children’s centre co-ordinator, Driffi eld Children’s Centre, said: “Communication can sometimes be diffi cult with a family that is new to the area but we’re hoping that we can help them settle in much more quickly once we have mastered the language.”

Are you dreading winter because the house is always cold? Then invest in insulation as this is the most cost eff ective way of reducing your fuel bills and keeping your home warmer.

Solarwall is working in partnership with East Riding of Yorkshire Council to provide funding for Cavity Wall and Loft Insulation so the residents of East Riding only pay £75. After the successful launch in June with npower there is still funding available so if

you haven’t applied yet please ring us so we can install your insulation before the winter bites into your fuel bills.

Installing cavity wall insulation takes less than half a day to install and carries an independent guarantee. If you have already had cavity wall done or your house is unsuitable then look at installing loft installation for only £75. You are losing 25% of your valuable heat through your roof. Professionally installed to current building regulations we also check your pipes and tanks to bring those up to the current regulations. Terms and conditions apply and subject to survey.

IT is important to remember that burglaries usually increase around Christmas. Residents can take simple steps to prevent becoming a victim of crime. Almost half of dwelling burglaries in the East Riding of Yorkshire during the past year involved insecure doors or windows.

In most of these cases the criminal was an opportunist, just trying a door handle and fi nding it insecure. Residents should keep all doors locked, even when at home.

Houses should not be dark when left empty in the evening.

A light on can make it look as though someone is at home.

Christmas presents on display in a front window may tempt a criminal to break in to steal them. It is better to keep presents out of sight on the run up to Christmas.

The same advice applies to leaving items on display in cars when Christmas shopping.

Again, criminals will be quick to spot desirable items in a car and will quickly break in by breaking a window or other means to steal the items.

Valuable items should be hidden away in the boot or removed completely.

These simple steps will help to reduce the chance of becoming a victim of crime.

LANCASTER: THE SECOND WORLD WAR’S GREATEST BOMBER by Leo McKinstry (Murray: £20.00). This is the story of a genius, Roy Chadwick, of the A V Roe company who was one of the most infl uential aircraft designers in British aviation, yet his most famous and successful plane, the Lancaster, emerged from one of his failures, the Avro Manchester. The Lancaster story is fascinating because of its rich cast of characters which ranged from its designer, Sir Arthur Harris, Chief of Bomber Command and Prime Minister, Winston Churchill and on to the famous pilots and aircrew who fl ew it. It played the central role in the Allied air offensive against Nazi Germany from 1942 to 1945. Leo McKinstry’s book is the defi nitive work on the record of the aircraft including its use in the bombing of Dresden and its assault on Northern France in advance of D-Day.RIFLING THROUGH MY DRAWERS by Clarissa Dickson Wright (Hodder and Stoughton: £19.99) Clarissa Dickson Wright found fame as one half of the much loved TV partnership, Two Fat Ladies, and is the author of fi ve cookery books. Her autobiography, Spilling the Beans, was a bestseller when it was published two years ago. In that book she wrote about her tumultuous and often bitterly unhappy life. Now she turns to life as it is now, taking us on an enjoyable journey round Britain, encountering everyone from local farmers to Women’s Institutes, supermarket managers to greyhound coursers along the way.

Her views, political and otherwise, opinions and anecdotes make this book a breath of fresh air.THE SECRET LIVES OF SOMERSET MAUGHAM by Selina Hastings (Murray: £25) Somerset Maugham died of Alzheimer’s as wretchedly as he lived. I am not sure even that his biographer liked him. Doubtless his cynicism and off-putting behaviour were formed in childhood but his life was littered with excesses on one hand and tragedy on the other. Yet if he hadn’t accidentally met his wife, Syrie Wellcome, it might have all been different. His initial choice was a beautiful young actress named Sue Jones who unfortunately rejected him. Syrie had started off life as the daughter of Dr Barnardo. She was the estranged wife of Henry Wellome of the famous Wellcome Foundation and the mistress of Gordon Selfridge, the department store tycoon. In his professional heyday which covered the period 1925-1945, Somerset Maugham’s plays and short stories were used to make some ninety-eight movies, indeed one of them, Rain, was fi lmed three times. He had a wonderful way with words and his books are still widely read today.A LIFE LIKE OTHER PEOPLE’S by Alan Bennett (Faber/Profi le: £12.99) This is taken from Alan Bennett’s acclaimed collection of prose, Untold Stories and is a poignant portrait of his parents’ marriage, his Leeds childhood, Christmases with Grandma Peel and the lives, loves and deaths of his unforgettable aunties, Kathleen and Myra. It’s a heartrending

and wonderfully funny work of autobiography by one of the best-loved English writers alive today.IN TEARING HASTE: LETTERS BETWEEN DEBORAH DEVONSHIRE AND PATRICK LEIGH FERMOR edited by Charlotte Mosley (Murray: £8.99) This is a delightful book about a different world. The letters cover a period from 1956 to date; indeed, when the book went to press the two correspondents, aged eighty-eight and ninety-three, were still writing to each other. In 1956 Deborah, Duchess of Devonshire - youngest of the six legendary Mitford sisters - invited the writer and war hero, Patrick Leigh Fermor to Lismore Castle, the Devonshires’ house in Ireland. This halcyon visit sparked off a deep friendship and a lifelong exchange of sporadic but highly entertaining letters which include glimpses of President Kennedy’s inauguration, weekends at Sandringham, fi lming with Errol Flynn and life at both Chatsworth and on the southernmost peninsula of Greece.THE MATCH! BIG BOOK OF FOOTBALL RECORDS (Boxtree: £20) MATCH! is the biggest-selling football magazine in the UK, selling more than 100,000 copies every week. It’s the magazine the top players love to be interviewed by and lists every result and goal from the week in its “Matchfacts” section. Now comes the defi nitive book of football records, presented with action-packed photographs and humour. From record transfers to top goal scorers, biggest attendances, fastest goals and most trophies won, this is a one-stop celebration of the biggest and best from the football archives. Bursting with 250 colourful pages, this large format book (12” x 8”) would make a terrifi c Christmas present.

Last chance to back the World Cup bid

P eople throughout East Yorkshire have one last chance to back a bid to bring 2018 World Cup group

matches to the KC Stadium.

Residents are urged to register their support for the bid by Wednesday, 16 December when the FA will make its decision.

Evie Robinson, 15, presented the document after she was chosen as the face of Hull’s world cup bid.

Last summer the South Hunsley School and Sixth Form College student

represented her country at international level on the England under-15 girls’ team.

She said: “I’d defi nitely go to the KC stadium if the World Cup came here. I’d like to see teams like Germany, England and Holland. I think it’s a good opportunity because you don’t often get to see World Cup games. It will inspire a lot of people to persevere with football.

“It’s very important that people back the bid and support it to make a difference and show that we do want the World Cup here.

“It’s really exciting, especially for the supporters like me. A lot of people don’t get the opportunity to see something like that.”

Anyone can vote at www.england2018bid.com/support/register.aspx by choosing “Hull” as the host city.

Support for the bid can also be given by

texting ‘Hull’ to 62018. Messages will be charged at standard network rate.

The last World Cup in Germany saw 3.36m fans attend the actual games along with 18.4m fans watching the games in “fan parks”.

CHILDREN at Beverley St Nicholas Primary School hope Hull and East Yorkshire are picked to host group matches during the World Cup in 2018.

They came to school in their football shirts to throw their weight behind the bid to bring top-fl ight international football to the KC stadium.

Although they range from just fi ve to 11-years-old now, by 2018, they will be aged between 14 and 20. World Cup matches hosted in Hull would be a fantastic chance

for them to see international football as teenagers or young adults.

Ben, aged nine, of Beverley St Nicholas Primary School, said: “Hull is a big place and there would be a great atmosphere if the World Cup came here.”

Richard Winks, deputy headteacher at Beverley St Nicholas Primary School, said: “I think it would be fantastic for Hull and the surrounding area and allow everyone to experience the excitement of world-class sport.”

St Nicholas School backs the bid

IN BRIEF

Cross country running success

Three East Riding school pupils recently fought off national competition to achieve third place in the English cross country relays. Their success follows the achievement of second place at the North of England road relays, which took place at Leeds Carnegie College earlier in the autumn.Katie Michaels, 14, from Longcroft School in Beverley; Ellie Wilson, 13, from Beverley High School; and Jessica Lonsdale,14, from South Holderness Technology College in Preston, took third place in the race at Berry Hill, Mansfi eld.The girls are now hoping for similar success when competing individually in the county and northern cross country championships during the winter.

STA performers East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s

leisure centres have been awarded a very impressive “distinction” level grade of 85 per cent for their Learn to Swim programme.The Swimming Teachers’ Association (STA) Mark Award focuses on the importance of delivering high-quality, customer-led services in the leisure industry. To gain the award, all the leisure centres needed to prove that they deliver services and standards that meet and exceed customer expectations whilst ensuring value for money. The sports and leisure centres provide a range of lessons including parent and baby or toddler sessions, which provide a fun and safe environment for little ones to gain confi dence in the water.For more information on baby, children and adult swim lessons, or how to become a swimming teacher contact your local council leisure/sports centre (details available on the council website at www.eastriding.gov.uk)
