Council’s schemes highlight need to reduce food waste

FREE SEED GIVEAWAY

A thousand packets of seeds are being given away to East Riding

residents to help them grow their own vegetables and reduce food waste.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council is behind the scheme, which will run initially for 12 months and will be based around the vegetable growing seasons.

The fi rst 1,000 packets will include both chives and basil, which are for planting this month.

In March, the council will give

away tomato and lettuce seeds and in July seeds for carrots and salad leaves. Details about these offers will be printed in East Riding News nearer the time.

Expert nurseryman, Adrian Jones, head grower at Bell Mills Garden Centre, Driffi eld, said: “Chives and basil are both easy to grow and give you confi dence to start growing bigger things.

“Put them in pots and grow them inside on a sunny windowsill away from winter’s cold blasts.

“With chives, snip a bit off and it comes up again. With basil, just pick off the leaves.”

Councillor Symon Fraser, portfolio holder for environmental issues, waste, recycling, strategic highways, planning and rural issues, said: “In July, when we

checked the make up of the waste in the green bins, 33 per cent was food.

“This council is keen to help residents reduce their food waste and what better way than helping them start to grow their own vegetables.”

The seeds will be given away to the fi rst 1,000 residents to apply. Turn to page eight, complete the coupon and send to the council or email your application.

Last month, the council also launched a scheme offering food waste systems to residents at much reduced prices.

The scheme runs until 31 March, allowing residents to buy wormeries, home composters and kitchen waste composters (bokashi buckets with caddies).

In partnership with the council, Straight plc is offering a 220 litre home composter for £13.50 (RRP £39), a 330 litre home composter for £16.50 (RRP £49), kitchen waste composters for £25 and caddies for £4, with a £5 delivery charge for up to three items.

To place an order, call 0845 1306090 or visit www.eastriding.getcomposting.com

Green Cone Ltd, in partnership with the council, is offering a wormery for £78.90. The fi rst 200 will be sold at £53.90. All orders are inclusive of delivery. To place an order call 0800 7312572 or visit www.greencone.com and enter your postcode in the discount box.

Details are also available on the council’s recycling site, www.target45plus.org.uk

New compound starts transport regeneration

A new boat compound has recently opened in Bridlington.

Set between the private boat club and the Royal Yorkshire Yacht Club’s site at Wilsthorpe, the new facility is the fi rst part of the Bridlington Integrated Transport Plan.

The compound can accommodate more than 200 small boats, jet skis and other sailing craft.

It is a self-contained and secure site, with its own launch

ramp, offi ce and launch control facilities, with security fencing, fl oodlighting and a CCTV system.

Completion of the compound is a major step towards enabling the construction of the park and ride element of the Bridlington Integrated Transport Plan which is now due for completion in Spring 2010.

Councillor Stephen Parnaby, OBE, leader of East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “The new facility is a real boost to Bridlington and the surrounding area.

“The move to the new location will allow work to move forward on other construction projects associated with the transport plan.

“The transport plan is an important part of the regeneration programme to revitalise Bridlington and bring greater opportunity and prosperity to the town.

“As a result of the plan, the resort will benefi t from better access routes which will help resolve some long-standing traffi c congestion problems.”

Other elements of the plan, which has attracted £5.7m of funding from the Department for Transport, are also moving forward and the main highway improvement works will mostly be undertaken from now to March 2010, outside the peak holiday season, to reduce any disruption.

GOOD fi nancial management over the last year has ensured that the council remains in a sound position for the future, despite the banking crisis and turbulence on the international money markets resulting in economic recession across many parts of the world.

Last month, the council cabinet endorsed a report on the ‘treasury management’ function, which

covers management of cash fl ows, banking, money market and capital market transactions, together with the effective control of risks associated with these activities.

The council has met its main obligations for investment and borrowing, including an above-target 4.7% rate of return on investments, and has not needed to use temporary borrowing

arrangements to fi nance any cash fl ow defi cits. Treasury management has also protected the council from market-related risks through the proactive monitoring of interest rates, economic opinions, and UK and overseas government fi nances.

The council was not affected by the widely publicised collapse of various Icelandic banks as it had no investments with them.

NEW FACILITY IN BRIDLINGTON: From left, Martin Burnhill, John Lister, Councillor Stephen Parnaby OBE, Martyn Coltman and Ian Rothery

First stage of transport plan for Bridlington is complete

The new park and ride facility on the existing South Cliff car park will provide secure parking for up to 1,000 vehicles including 50 disabled spaces.

Changes to roundabouts and a new electronic car parking monitoring and signage system are also planned.

The site of the former boat compound will now form part of the park and ride and an extension to the nearby caravan park.

Affordable housing gives economic cash boostTHE East Riding economy is set to benefi t from a £33m cash injection following the success of the council’s £16.5m bid to the Homes and Communities Agency for new affordable housing. The funding will be matched by the council’s own contribution.

The resulting house building programme will be the largest construction project ever undertaken by the council with the majority of work being undertaken by local contractors.

Councillor Steve Parnaby OBE, leader of the council, said: “This is fantastic news for the East Riding and a wonderful stimulus for the local economy. The £33m programme has to be delivered over a 12-month period and it is my intention that the majority of work will go to local contractors.

“These houses represent a new generation of affordable housing for the 21st century, combining high quality design with environmental sustainability.

“The council team has done a fantastic job in putting the bid together and managing to attract 11 per cent of the total funding available nationally for this scheme.”

The house building programme is due to start in March 2010 and has to be delivered within a 12-month period. The programme, which will see 275 new homes built, will involve a number of small scale developments across the East Riding with an emphasis on high quality design combined with environmental sustainability.

As yet, no decisions on specifi c sites have been made. These will be subject to consultation and the planning process.

This is fantastic news for the East Riding and a wonderful stimulus for the local economy

LEADING LINESLEADER OF THE COUNCIL COUNCILLOR STEPHEN PARNABY OBE

IT was fantastic to see the clipper yachts set off from the Hull Marina on their world race, lead by the Hull and Humber boat. They will visit many venues and doubtlessly face some hostile and treacherous conditions on their journey. The event put the City of Hull and the region on the world stage and received tremendous support from people across the area and beyond with estimates of crowds approaching 100,000. The Regional Development Agency, Yorkshire Forward, has put a large amount of public funding into sponsoring the race with the rationale of raising this area’s profi le and benefi ting business links throughout the world. Certainly the countries visited will have similar welcomes to the one received in Hull and will be watched on TV by a worldwide audience. Visit Hull and East Yorkshire (VHEY), the joint tourism organisation of Hull City and this Council, played a co-ordination role along with several other partners and the involvement of other local authorities. The City of Hull put on the Freedom Festival to coincide with the weekend and clearly those visiting had a truly wonderful experience. My congratulations to all involved and it proves that this area has a lot to be proud of and can compete with the best. I look forward to the return of the yachts in 2010 for another Yorkshire welcome and, with a good wind, as the sailors would say, hopefully Hull and Humber taking fi rst place.

Continuing on the theme of major events, Hull City AFC have joined forces with the City Council, Hull Forward, and ourselves, along with other partners including Hull University, Yorkshire Forward, and VHEY, to put in a bid to stage games for the 2018 World Cup at the KC Stadium. The Football Association (FA) are bidding to host the Cup and seeking bids from grounds and cities to host the games. There will be hurdles to overcome but feedback from the inspections by the FA who have been very impressed by the case put forward, have been positive. Clearly if successful, the event will not just be about football matches and will include the fan fests and several other attractions and events. Ideally placed to attract visiting fans from Europe, the superb setting of the KC Stadium and the many attributes the area can offer lead me to believe that there is a real chance of pulling it off. What a tremendous boost that would be, the massive benefi ts to the local economy, the thousands of visitors and beamed via TV to a worldwide audience. It’s certainly a chance to heighten our profi le, our self-esteem, and, once again, show we are a world class events venue. You can show your support by registering online at www.hull2018bid.co.uk. Back the bid – it has just got to be a fantastic opportunity.

UNDER REVIEW: All types of cardboard can be recycled at the household waste recycling sites

Recycling cardboard in the East RidingYour recycling calendar states “x No Thanks to cardboard”. However I have seen on cornflake packets the words “This packet is recyclable”.

I should be pleased if someone will define what constitutes the word ‘cardboard’.

Do you mean the thinner cardboard boxes in which cornflakes and or cakes bought at the supermarket or confectioner or the Stiff unbendable cardboard in which large electrical and other such goods are supplied? Or both.

Your advice on this matter would be welcome.

Mr E E Griffin

Dear Mr GriffinWe cannot accept cardboard in the blue bins because there are no facilities at our material recycling facility at Carnaby to separate it from paper.

To collect cardboard in the blue bins requires changes to our collection rounds and facilities with all the attendant costs and environmental issues. This, however, is something we keep under review as we plan to further increase recycling.

All types of cardboard can be recycled at our ten household recycling sites.

John Skidmore, head of streetscene services

Speed humpsI wrote to you in mid August regarding the

excessive amount of speed humps in Welton and the damage that they do to cars, and asking why this village can’t have flashing signals like all the other nearby villages.

I was disappointed to find my letter was not printed in your latest East Riding News and also that I did not receive a reply as I requested.

I hope you will do me the courtesy of acknowledging this letter and that a reply to my original letter will be included.

Mr MJ Morton, Welton

Dear Mr MortonThank you for your comments received regarding

the traffic calming measures in Welton.The traffic calming measures installed in 2000 were

as a direct result of speed tests carried out through the village section and personal injury accidents occurring there and also in the vicinity of South Hunsley School.

It was also felt at the time that there was an element of traffic using the village route as short cut to and from the A63, rather than using the signals in place at the Melton crossroads to gain access to the A63. It was hoped that the presence of physical calming measures would discourage that practice and preserve the village environment.

Prior to the works commencing on site there was an extensive public consultation process, with a residents postal consultation and a public display in the village hall detailing the proposals with Council officers in attendance to answer questions. The response at that time from both the public and Parish Council was very supportive of the proposals and so they went ahead with some minor amendments resulting from comments received during the consultation.

The calming features installed all comply with the relevant legislation on height and size and were designed to be bus friendly, to ensure that the bus routes through Welton would remain in service. Drivers in cars should also be able to negotiate these speed cushions without damaging their vehicles, providing they do so at an appropriate speed.

Regarding the use of speed reactive signs, although they are a useful tool in drawing drivers attention to excessive or inappropriate speed, used in isolation they are not effective for speed prevention where a

quantifiable accident problem exists, as was the case prior to the installation of the calming measures in Welton.

The removal of the calming features in Welton could reintroduce all of the problems now absent from Welton as a result of their introduction nearly 10 years ago.

Carl Skelton, divisional manager

Recycling in the streetsWe are regularly reminded of the East Riding’s

target for recycling - Target 45. We are all well aware of the importance of recycling and are doing as much as we can. We now use our compost bins, blue and brown bins as well as taking our glass to the drop off points and regularly find only a minimal amount of rubbish in our green bin.

On two recent holidays I have felt that East Riding (and the UK) is missing a very large, and important area where recycling could occur, the streets. I would be interested to know what percentage of waste going to landfill is from the waste bins in every street of the county? In both Canada and Germany, whenever there is a bin, there are actually three. One for waste to landfill, one for paper and one for cans and bottles etc. I appreciate that there is a risk of contamination and that education would be needed, but feel that the quantity recycled, would be worth the cost to the council.

Come on East Riding, lead the way in the UK with street recycling.

M Sinclair, Beverley

Dear Sir or MadamWe have recycling bins along the foreshores at Bridlington, Hornsea and Withernsea.

Regrettably we have problems of contamination with materials, like used nappies, being put in with recyclables. We have highlighted this issue and appealed for the bins to be used correctly.

We continue to consider ways to improve recycling and this includes the possibility of providing recycling bins in the town centres.

We are not able to provide you with percentages for street bins as the waste is not treated separately.

John Skidmore, head of streetscene services

School specialist statusI was appalled when reading your article in the September issue of the East Riding News which complimented all schools in the East Riding for gaining specialist status with the resulting extra funding helping their progress.Extra funding, very good!But some questions need to be answered:Who and what decides the specialism?What are the specialist subjects for each school?Do all parents know what the specialist subjects are for every school in the East Riding?Of greater important, is there assistance for a student to attend a school, whatever the distance, having a specialism different from the one or ones in their catchment area?

Why are students so young being guided towards a specialism possibly wide of their aptitude and ability?

AL Maynard, Holme on Spalding Moor

Dear Sir or MadamThank you for your letter in response to the news that all East Riding Schools have specialist status. As you suggest it is good news that the additional funding is now coming to all schools in the East Riding.

The specialism of each school was decided by the schools themselves in line with a particular strength or a particular desire to develop an area of the curriculum. The East Riding mapped the subjects and sought to ensure that the pattern of specialisms was equitably spread across the county. The specialisms of each school are shown in the chart below:Beverley Grammar EngineeringBeverley High Technology Bridlington SSC SportCottingham Media ArtsDriffield Maths & ICTHeadlands Science and MathematicsHessle ScienceHornsea LanguagesHowden TechnologyLongcroft Performing ArtsSouth Holderness TechnologySouth Hunsley Engineering TechnologyThe Market Weighton Mathematics and ComputingThe Snaith Business and EnterpriseVermuyden Mathematics and ComputingWithernsea TechnologyWoldgate Performing ArtsWolfreton Languages

As you will see the range and spread of subjects is impressive. The information about each school is available on their website and the school prospectus which they issue to prospective pupils.

There is currently no financial support to address the issue of transporting children to different schools to meet their specialist needs. The policy of the East Riding is still that the catchment school with its social network of children’s peers from village, street and primary school is the best place for them to be.

Specialist schools have to deliver a broad and balanced curriculum, in line with the national curriculum and for many children the particular specialism might not impact on them greatly, it is not about restricting the curriculum but enhancing a particular part of it.

As you will see the specialisms can be quite broadly defined and indeed many of our schools have been given second specialisms. Specialist status does not predetermine the career choices nor the subject pathways a child will take and all of our secondary schools have a comprehensive offer through to the end of compulsory education and into the sixth form.

I hope that answers the questions you raise and like us you can celebrate a really impressive achievement for East Riding Schools!Mike Furbank, head of improvement and learning

Turning up the heat

A n East Riding resident has urged others in the region

to take full advantage of a partnership scheme, which is offering the chance for people in areas with no mains gas to have a new heating system installed.

Mr Vic Parkes, who lives in the village of Lowthorpe, near Driffi eld, is the latest to benefi t from an ongoing project between East Riding of Yorkshire Council and community interest company, Community Energy Solutions (CES).

Together, they are helping

both private and socially owned homes that are off the gas network to install state-of-the-art air source heat pump (ASHP) systems. Funding can be offered towards the cost of the heating systems, which can be up to the full amount.

Mr Parkes said: “My wife and I had been thinking about updating our old storage heating as, frankly, it was expensive and useless. So when we received some information through the door we decided to fi nd out more.

“I was amazed when we found out that, as we were almost at retirement age, we would get the full cost of the installation covered. I would urge anyone thinking about having new heating installed to take full advantage and get in touch with CES now.”

CES is a non-profi t-distributing organisation, which is funded by the Government’s Department of Energy and Climate Change and regional development agency Yorkshire Forward. It was established to help combat fuel poverty and promote renewable energy options, such as ASHPs.

Jane Mears, senior environmental health offi cer for East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “It’s wonderful that we can benefi t both private and socially-owned homes. This project is part of the council’s long-term commitment to reducing the incidence of fuel poverty in the region and also reducing our carbon emissions in the process. “

For more information call CES on (01132) 372720 or visit www.cesgroup.org

To vote in an election, your name must be included on the Electoral Register. Every year a canvass of all households is undertaken and a registration form delivered to each one. You must complete and return that form in order to be able to vote.

The form asks for information about who is or will be living in that property on 15 October 2009. If the form is not completed and returned, a canvasser may

visit your home to ask for this information. They will have formal identifi cation.

Elections, especially parliamentary elections, can be called with as little as 17 working days notice, which can make it hard for some residents to fi nd time to register then. As a parliamentary election is due by June 2010, why not sort out registration now?

It is important to note that you will not be included on the Electoral Register just because

you are a council tax payer. This is a common misunderstanding and you must complete an electoral registration form. As far as possible the form will be preprinted with your information, so most people will just have to sign and date it and return in the prepaid envelope.

We are here to help with any questions about registering , please contact Electoral Services on 01482 393313/393312/393311.

Make sure you’re registered to vote

confi dence and computer skills to start applying for job vacancies and be a successful applicant so these were the areas she needed to remedy.

Susan came to the Beverley e-learning centre for an Initial Advice and Guidance session where she received impartial advice to support her in achieving her goals. After this session Susan decided that learndirect was the right route for her and was

referred to her local centre in Driffi eld.

She had already gained experience of using a computer at home and through the support of the centre staff, Susan took the decision to work towards an NVQ Level 2 for IT users to develop her skills and confi dence.

Susan has said “I received a great deal of advice and encouragement from the team at Beverley and Driffi eld. I have been really well looked after from the start”

Susan is now able to work competently on word processing programmes, spreadsheets, databases and presentations. This is not only a great addition to her CV it has also given her the confi dence to start applying for job vacancies.

A great achievement Susan!

ConsultationUpdate

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

The Citizens’ PanelThis month we have been recruiting for our brand new citizens’ panel, a joint initiative between NHS East Riding of Yorkshire and East Riding of Yorkshire Council. The citizens’ panel is a group of 2000 residents of the East Riding of Yorkshire who will participate in regular consultations and be given the opportunity to contribute to focus groups and workshops. These consultations will give valuable feedback on our services and will help inform decision making and future planning, which can make a real difference in your local area.

The panel will be representative of the population of the East Riding as a whole so that consultation outcomes refl ect the views of residents. Panel membership will be refreshed every three years so that as many residents as possible get their chance to participate.

Consultations will be in the form of postal or online surveys every quarter, and feedback will be given through regular newsletters. Panel members will also be invited to take part in focus groups and workshops. Consultation will be on a variety of subjects from education and transport to mental health and GP services. The very fi rst survey will be reaching our members in the next few weeks.

Recruitment to the citizens’ panel has been carried out by telephone, when East Riding residents were asked if they would like to take part. Thank you to all those who said yes and welcome to the panel!

For more details on what consultations are currently taking place, please go to www.eastriding.gov.uk/consult.

Equality and diversityBy consulting and engaging with our different diversity panels, the council can make sure that all of our residents’ and service users’ views are heard and met. We will make sure that all panels are provided with regular updates on the outcomes that have been achieved.

If you would like to join one of these panels, please complete the information slip and send back to:

Senior Policy Offi cer Room HG115County Hall, BeverleyEast Riding of YorkshireHU17 9BA

If you would like more information or to book a place at one of these events, please contact Kiran Kochar, senior policy offi cer, on (01482) 391425.

Increasing recycling

R esidents, the council and its partner organisations

are working together to successfully reduce waste and increase recycling.

These achievements are in line with two of the targets in the Local Area Agreement (LAA).

The agreement, developed by the Local Strategic Partnership (LSP), which brings together public, private, voluntary and community organisations, sets the targets and priorities for delivering services to residents.

Both targets also refl ect Target 45+, the council’s joint strategy with Hull City Council to manage waste by enabling all households to manage their waste by reducing, reusing and recycling as much as possible.

Councillor Symon Fraser, portfolio holder for environmental issues, waste, recycling, strategic highways, planning and rural issues, said: “Dealing with waste is a major issue.

“We are ensuring we are delivering the services our residents need to manage waste. A good example is the successful roll out of the brown bins. The end result is that the garden waste is composted instead of being sent to landfi ll.”

Renee Miller-Smith, of the East Riding’s current eco family, said: “I support everything that can be done to reduce waste and its impact on the environment.

“We have two children and it is important to us that the East Riding continues to be a great place for them to live and that the world they inherit is not damaged beyond repair.”

Recycling facilities across the East Riding include 10 household waste recycling sites and 145 local bring sites, enabling residents to recycle while they shop.

A full list of sites and the materials they accept is available on www.target45plus.org.uk For broken or unwanted items, check the repair and reuse register on the website.

Partners work together on waste

RESIDENTS across the East Riding don’t have to suffer in silence when faced with anti-social behaviour in their neighbourhood.

The council’s anti-social behaviour and private sector housing teams work closely with landlords and police to tackle reports of nuisance neighbours, intimidating behaviour, verbal abuse and other anti-social behaviour.

Councillor Jane Evison, portfolio holder

for cultural services, housing and public protection said: “We know these cases are not wide spread and the majority of our tenants are pleased to live in perfect harmony with neighbours, however we want to make sure that people know exactly what to do and who to contact if they do have any issues they wish to discuss”

If you, or someone you know, have been a victim of anti-social behaviour, telephone the

council’s anti-social behaviour team on 01482 396380 or email [email protected]

Council tenants should contact their local housing offi ce, which will investigate their complaint.

You can also report non-emergencies to Humberside Police by telephoning 0845 6060222 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

Don’t suffer anti-social behaviour in silence


EAST RIDING LOCAL AREA AGREEMENT

ECO-FAMILY: Mrs Renee Miller-Smith with, left, Loula and Lucas

FREE SEEDS FOR THE FIRST 1,000 READERS

HELP CREATE A SUSTAINABLE KITCHEN BY GROWING YOUR OWN HERBS

The offer of free seeds is a further initiative by East Riding of Yorkshire Council to help residents reduce the amount of wasted food.

Currently, every green bin in the East Riding contains on average about 2.5kg of food waste that is thrown

away and goes straight to landfi ll.This is equivalent to six large tins

of baked beans or nearly three bags of sugar or 25 Mars Bars.

The council, through its community and sustainable development service, supports the Government’s Love

Food Hate Waste campaign.The fi rst 1,000 packets will include

easy-growing chives and basil. The seeds are by Mr Fothergill’s, the UK’s leading seed company.

In March, the council will give away tomato and lettuce seeds and in July

seeds for carrots and salad leaves. Details about these offers will be

printed in East Riding News nearer the time.

For more details about Love Food Hate Waste, visit www.lovefoodhatewaste.com

To be one of the fi rst 1,000 residents to claim your packet of chives and basil seeds, fi ll in the boxes clearly and return immediately to the address below.

Return this completed coupon to Chris King, community and sustainable development offi cer, room JF89, County Hall, Cross Street, Beverley HU17 9BA. Or email your application to [email protected], making sure to include your name and address.

BASIL AND CHIVE PESTO• 1 large bunch of basil • 1 sprig of rosemary leaves, picked • 1 clove of garlic, chopped • 1 red chilli, halved, seeded and roughly chopped • small chunk of parmesan • small bunch of chives, snipped with scissors • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil • black pepper

METHODPlace the basil, rosemary, garlic and chilli in a small food processor. Blend until fi nely chopped.Add the parmesan to the food processor with the chives and olive oil and blend again to form a rough paste. Add salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste. Cover and chill until ready to serve.

HOME MADE PIZZACreate your own pizza by buying or making a base. Spread thinly with tomato paste, decorate with a mixture of toppings and a generous sprinkling of cheese. Bake in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with roughly chopped basil and chives and serve.

MAKE YOUR HERBS LAST LONGERTo prolong the use of basil or chives, dry them and keep in containers.Alternatively, make herb butter for use with fi sh, meat and endless other recipes. Simply combine one tablespoon of minced fresh herbs with half a cup of softened butter or margarine. Spoon the mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap, roll into a log and freeze until required. Slice off a tablespoon or so of the butter to serve with cooked vegetables, chicken, fi sh, warm biscuits or rolls.

Rec ipes

Chive is a rewarding and long lived herb which has a mild onion fl avour and can be grown in pots all the year round.

It can be added to jacket potato toppings, soups, mixed with egg mayonnaise for sandwiches and used as a garnish

Sow inside all year round for indoor crops, and March to May for outdoor crops.

Put the seeds 0.5cm or 1/4” deep in small pots of compost. Water

well and place in a warm position, ideally 15 to 20ºC (60 to 68ºF), on a light windowsill.

Seedlings usually appear in 14 to 21 days. Cut the leaves when they are15cm (six inches) tall.

Pick a few leaves so the plants re-grow quickly.

Tips from Mr Fothergill’s, the seed company, include using chives to fi ll gaps in fl owerbeds, borders and in patio pots, as they are also decorative.

Basil is a member of the mint family and is mainly used in Italian cooking. It makes delicious pesto and can be added to pasta dishes, pizzas or simply combined with tomato and mozzarella.

For maximum fl avour the leaves should be added to cooked dishes at the last minute. The leaves are best picked just before use.

Sow inside all the year round for

indoor crops, and March to May for outdoor crops.

Sow 0.5cm (quarter inch) deep in small pots of compost. Water well and place in a warm position, like 15 to 20˚C (60 to 68˚F), on a warm windowsill.

Seedlings usually appear in seven to 14 days. Thin them to 20cm (eight inches) apart. Remove fl owers to prolong picking.

E ast Riding residents can borrow a small hand-held gadget from

the local library to help save on home energy bills.

The council is offering the free use of the monitors, which show how much electricity is being used and the cost.

The monitors can be taken out on fortnightly loan from the libraries at Beverley, Bridlington, Driffi eld, Goole, Hornsea and Withernsea. There will be about

fi ve monitors at each.Residents who do not live near

one of these libraries should call the libraries service on (01482) 393939 to arrange for a monitor to be delivered to a local branch or the mobile library.

Councillor Symon Fraser, portfolio holder for environmental issues, waste, recycling, strategic highways, planning and rural issues, said: “The monitors show how much energy is being used and how much it is costing. They are really easy to use; just clip them to your mains supply cable. There are no wires to connect.

“It will help residents become more energy and cost effi cient,

particularly when every penny counts. It can be as simple as turning off appliances at the plug.

“Not only can we save money but we also reduce the CO2 that is produced, ensuring the East Riding remains a great place to live.”

The introduction of the monitors is the council’s way of marking Energy Savings Week starting on 19 October.

For more information, contact John Kelly in community and sustainable on 01482 391716 or [email protected]

For free advice on how to save energy in your home call the Energy Saving Trust on 0800 512012.

A FURTHER fi ve East Riding sites are getting recycling banks for food and drink cartons like those for milk, juice and soup.

The new banks will be at the Humberfi eld household waste recycling site (HWRS), Hessle; Tesco’s car park, Driffi eld; Pocklington sports and social club car park; the Morrow Avenue car park, Hornsea; and Tesco’s car park, Beverley

These banks are in addition to the existing fi ve at the HWRS at Preston, Carnaby, Holme on Spalding Moor, Morrisons car park Beverley, and Goole Leisure Centre car park.

Councillor Symon Fraser, portfolio holder for environmental issues, waste, recycling, strategic highways, planning and rural issues, said: “We have increased the number of banks to meet demand from residents while also increasing the size of the fi rst fi ve.

“We put the banks on sites which residents are already visiting, such as at supermarkets and leisure centres.”

He added: “Since the fi rst banks were installed in January of last year, they have become so popular that nine tonnes of cartons have been collected and sent for recycling into plasterboard.”

AS soon as the new term started, the council’s waste and recycling offi cers were back in schools across the East Riding.

The offi cers visit schools to talk about, and work on, recycling projects that help the environment.

Recent visits include one to Swinemoor Primary School, Beverley. Schools due to be visited include Inmans Primary School, Hedon, and Thorngumbald Primary School.

Any schools wanting the offi cers to give talks or help with projects should call waste and recycling offi cer Sarah White on (01482) 395586.

Further details are available on the Target 45+ website, www.target45plus.org.uk, including an education pack giving schools advice on increasing recycling and information on the Eco Schools programme.

THE ‘meet and greet’ trial held at Driffi eld and Beverley’s Weel household waste recycling sites has been so successful that it is being extended.

The trial, which took place between December and March, involved additional attendants helping residents to recycle their waste and put it in the correct containers.

At the busiest times, the attendants helped control the traffi c fl ow to ensure public safety and administered the commercial vehicle permit system to prevent illegal commercial waste tipping.

The trial has been extended to June 2010 when it will be reviewed again.

For further information about the scheme, contact Daniel Knight, waste and recycling offi cer, on [email protected] or call (01482) 395631.

MOST cases of swine fl u are relatively mild so far, but we want to be prepared if there is a more serious wave later.

Healthier people will have a lower risk of infection, and if they do catch it, their recovery time is likely to be much shorter.

Those who smoke are more likely to suffer complications such as chest infections and bronchial problems. The Hull & East Riding NHS Stop Smoking Support Service can be contacted free on 0800 915 5959.

Drinking sensibly and eating healthy foods will help to boost your immune system.

Slowing the spread of swine fl u can be helped by washing hands with soap and water, and using tissues to cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze, and putting the tissue in a bin.You can fi nd more help at:• www.nhs.uk • Telephone: 0800 151 3100. • Minicom: 0800 151 3200

There is no reason to keep children off school as a preventative measure to avoid swine fl u - they will be just as likely to catch it from other sources. Children should only be absent from school if they have swine fl u

themselves and you should report this to the school by telephone and follow NHS advice.

A swine fl u vaccine is waiting to be licensed. The NHS will determine who receives the swine fl u vaccine, and the NHS is expected to publish more details shortly.

Following a public consultation carried out with local residents, it was identi� ed that the existing play areas in Hessle were old and needed updating although they were well used.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council, Ward members Tress, Davison and Jefferies, Hessle Town Council and the police community support of� cer have held various meetings to discuss the designs and funding.

KGV Recreation Ground

This recreation ground has had a new play area installed in May 2009, funded by East Riding of Yorkshire Council, which offers equipment for toddlers and young children.

Following on-site consultation with the detached youth workers and the police community support of� cers, young people were asked to look at designs of youth equipment. The Blox and a youth shelter were requested and installed. The youth shelter, which was � nanced through the Big Lottery Fund, will also double up as a spectator shelter for sporting events.

The Multi-Use Games Area with lighting was funded by commuted sums. East Riding of Yorkshire Council requires developers to provide outdoor playing space as part of all new residential developments above certain size thresholds. When a developer cannot provide this within the development itself, a sum of money known as a ‘commuted sum’ is paid in lieu of the facility which must be spent on outdoor playing space.

The Multi-Use Games Area including the lighting is managed and maintained by Hessle Town

Council in partnership with Hessle Sporting Club.

First Lane

A sports wall was installed some time ago and again well used by the young people. Following on site consultation with the detached youth worker and the young people low football goals and two items of youth equipment were requested and installed.

War Memorial Park, Tower Hill

This play area was completely transformed with equipment targeted at toddlers to young children, following public consultation both on site and with children at the local schools. The project was funded by Play Path� nder which is money from the DCSF and East Riding of Yorkshire Council. This site is very successful with many local children visiting the area and using the equipment.

Tranby Park

Some items of equipment in this play area were past their useful life and so were replaced. However following the installation of the new equipment, local residents contacted the council and expressed their concerns about the lack of provision for toddlers. Again a consultation was carried out on-site and the toddlers chose a multi- unit with a slide, which has recently been installed.

For further information on maintenance of the play areas, contact Lee Trivett on (01482) 395873 or for information on funding. Lea Anne Wright, commuted sums of� cer, on (01482) 392511.

Energy Saving Week (19 – 25 October) is a perfect opportunity to understand what easy steps can be made today to help fi ght climate change whilst at the same time save money. This is where the Energy Saving Trust can help.

The Energy Saving Trust advice centre for North Yorkshire and the Humber can provide free expert and impartial advice on how to reduce energy consumption in the home which in turn can lower your energy bills. Discounts are available to help residents with the cost of installing loft and cavity wall insulation as well as upgrading heating measures. Cavity wall

insulation could cost you as little as £149 to install and can save you up to £160 a year off your fuel bill which loft insulation could save you a further £180. Installation may even be free if you are over a certain age or receive certain benefi ts so give the advice centre a call today to see if you are eligible – free phone 0800 512 012.

The advice available doesn’t stop at heating either.

Did you know that making some simple changes to the way you drive could save you approximately one month’s worth of fuel? The advice team can talk you through how to reduce your motoring costs whilst at the same time cutting your carbon footprint. You can also learn about useful tips on reducing household waste

through recycling in the home and information on composting for the garden.

Don’t worry if you’re unsure of what would work best for you. The friendly advisors will talk you through the options, will refer you to the relevant supplier and will even organise the visit for you if this would help. Contact the Energy Saving Trust advice centre free on 0800 512 012 or visit www.energysavingtrust.org.uk

Energy Saving Week is the perfect time to make a change and help fi ght climate control. You may fi nd that a simple change could benefi t you more than you thought.

York-based Solarwall has been awarded the contract to provide solar thermal hot water installations to residents within the East Riding, enabling them to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and make signifi cant savings to their fuel bills.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council and Solarwall had previously operated a similar scheme where more than 100 residents took advantage of the installation at a discounted price.

Sue Lamb, managing director at Solarwall, said: “This scheme is one of few available in the country that actively encourages residents not only to save energy by insulating their homes but to seriously consider alternative ways of using renewable technology. We are delighted to have been awarded the contract and are very excited to be working on the project for East Riding of Yorkshire Council.”

The application process for residents involves a simple non-means tested grant of £600 that is available in addition to the low carbon building grant already available. This will enable the more standard properties to have a fully fi tted system for under £2,995.

By using British made solar panels and cylinders Solarwall is able to not only help people reduce their carbon footprint but to also support British manufacturers. The grants from the local authority are on a fi rst come fi rst served basis and Solarwall anticipates that this will prove as popular as last year when all the grants were used very quickly.

For more information call Solarwall on 0800 138 0079.

Children’s Centres launch activitiesThree months worth of Children’s Centre activities were unveiled across East Riding during National Children’s Centre week, which took place during September.

The thirteen children’s centres throughout the region have each launched individual programmes to offer parents, carers and their children the opportunity to become involved in their community.

East Riding children’s centres support parents with young children so they enjoy raising their family. They are a one stop shop for family support, play and learning opportunities, information about early learning and childcare, health services and much more.

Some of the activities running between October and December include: breastfeeding support groups, baby massage, sing-a-long sessions and the ‘naughty, not necessarily’ child behaviour course.

Annette Wray, children’s centre

delivery manager, said: “There are hundreds of free activities for parents and carers at children’s centres all over the East Riding. Call the Families Information Service Hub (FISH) to � nd out where your nearest centre is and

what is going on near you.” The FISH helpline is open Monday to

Thursday between 8.30am and 5.30pm and Friday 8.30am – 4.30pm. Please call (01482) 396469 or visit www.� sh.eastriding.gov.uk for more information.

EAST RIDING NEWS OCTOBER 200914 EAST RIDING NEWS OCTOBER 2009 15

THERE is currently a shortage of foster carers in the East Riding and East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s fostering service is asking people to think about becoming a foster carer.

Fostering a child in need can be an extremely rewarding experience and although it can be challenging, ultimately the rewards will be life changing.

People wanting to become foster carers need to have a positive outlook, patience and a good sense of humour. They also need to have room in their heart and their home for a new child.

Foster carers will receive quality training and dedicated support from the council to enable them to help the children in their care develop and grow in a safe environment.

To � nd out more or to receive an information pack, call (01482) 396673 or email [email protected]

THERE will soon be even more exciting new play areas across the East Riding.

In the second year of the Play Path� nder project the council and its partners are using Department for Children, Schools and Families funding to provide 17 innovative new play spaces.

The playground next to Haltemprice Leisure Centre, Anlaby, is being revamped as a “destination playpark” with challenge and fun for all ages. The grand opening will take place on Tuesday, 6 October, from 1pm.

For more information, call Bernie Clarke on (01482) 392533 or email [email protected]

For details of activities at the leisure centre visit www.haltempriceleisurecentre.co.uk

Foster careNew play areas planned

East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s fostering service recently hosted a brand new summer event for their foster carers at Beverley Racecourse.

The event brought together a host of fun activities for all our East Riding foster carer families to say a big thank you for their hard work and dedication to fostering.

It was extremely well attended with almost 200 foster carers and children joining in the fun. There was something for every age range including a street dance workshop, craft workshop, manicurist, fun bus, bouncy castle, face painting, sports sessions,

Humberside Fire Brigade, Duke of Edinburgh award scheme, Family Information Service Hub, and lots more! Some of the carers were presented with training and long service awards and a buffet lunch was provided.

Lyndsay Spencer, marketing of� cer (fostering and adoption), said: “A lot of work went into organising the event, but it has been a great success and de� nitely something we will run again in the future”.

If anyone would like to be involved or have a stand at a future, fostering event please contact Lyndsay Spencer on (01482) 391680.

Thank you for fostering

Why professionals need to talk to

each other

If the people who are working with a child can

make sure that every child is getting the support they need;

get bigger; and, work together, which means that a child (or family) doesn’t have to explain the same

People should only talk about a child if the child (or parent/carer) agrees. But there may be times when they have to talk to someone urgently, such as if a child is in danger or seriously ill.

The information on ContactPointContactPoint will only hold simple information such as:

Name, address, and date of birth of everyone in England up to their 18th birthday;Name and address for each child’s:- Parents or carers;- School and doctor;- Other services (e.g. health visitor).

By law, ContactPoint cannot hold any details like doctors’ notes or school records.

Who can use ContactPoint

ContactPoint will only be used by:

people whose job it is to help children and young people – this could be a school nurse or a youth worker.

people whose job it is to make sure ContactPoint isaccurate and up-to-date.

ContactPoint is part of a big plan called ‘Every Child Matters’. The plan involves everyone who works

with children, and is about making sure that all children and young people can have a good life,

whoever they are, and no matter what problems they may face.

who else is working with the same child, which means a child may have to wait a long time to get the

help they need. This is where ContactPoint will help.

ContactPoint will be like a computer-based phone book. It will help people who work with children to

contact details.

ContactPoint - What’s it all about?

Keeping ContactPoint safe

ContactPoint will meet tough security standards and experts will keep testing it.

have passed strict security checks, and have their own user name, password, PIN and security token.

There will be checks to make sure ContactPoint is always being used by the right people in the right way. If someone uses ContactPoint without permission or good reason, they will be punished.

How long a record will be on

ContactPointA young person’s record will be removed from ContactPoint when they turn 18 (apart from some young people who can choose to stay on until they are 25).

Children and young people can see

their record

Children and young people, or their mum, dad or carer when acting on a child’s behalf (e.g. when a child is very young), can see their record and ask to have it corrected if they believe something on there – e.g. an address - is wrong.

When it will be readyA small number of professionals have been using ContactPoint from early 2009. Over the next twelve months other professionals across England will be trained and given access to ContactPoint.

Protecting those at riskMost children and young people will benefit frompractitioners accessing their records on ContactPoint. However, some people can be at risk if their details are available. To ensure that this does not happen a record on ContactPoint may need to be shielded, that is hiding the address and contact details. Shielding is not unique to ContactPoint, it is already in place in a number of systems. Shielding could be required if not doing so is likely to:

Before professionals can use ContactPointthey must:

be trained to make sure they know how to use it properly and securely.

SAFER ROADS


Working togetherIMPROVING THE HEALTH OF RESIDENTS IN THE EAST RIDING

A new Community Respiratory Team (CRT) will be launched in November focusing on improving the health and wellbeing of the several thousand East Riding residents with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients.

Led by Edwina English, Respiratory Nurse Consultant, the team will include � ve community respiratory specialist nurses, specialist dietician, clinical specialist physiotherapist and rehabilitation support.

Initially, the team will work closely with local COPD patients with the most severe complications and greatest risk of repeated admission to hospital. The aim is to help them

and their families effectively manage the disease. Patients will be referred by their own GP to the Community Respiratory Team as appropriate.

Edwina said: “This new service for COPD patients in the East Riding will be second to none. A team of expert health professionals has been recruited to deliver the level of respiratory care and rehabilitation a patient would normally receive in hospital - much closer to home! We also aim to develop a single care plan that will meet each patient’s individual needs wherever they access their care - in hospital, at their GP, a care home or in their own home.

“We want to really improve

the quality of life for people living with a long term condition like COPD by looking at diet, activity or seasonal factors that may trigger an exacerbation of their condition so we can effectively manage it in the community. We can achieve this by educating patients, carers in the management of respiratory conditions, as well as empowering other healthcare professionals to help them make a swift diagnosis at the point of care.”

The Community Respiratory Team is based in Beverley and will cover the whole East Riding, linking in with the established Neighbourhood Health Teams in Bridlington and Goole.

We all have times when we feel down or stressed or frightened. Most of those feelings pass, but sometimes they develop into a more serious problem and that could happen to any one of us. Here are some tips to keeping mentally healthy:• Talk about your feelings. Talk to

family, friends and colleagues; express your feelings and concerns.

• Keep active. Physical activity stimulates production of endorphins, the body’s natural antidepressants. It will make you feel energised and positive.

• Eat well. A healthy diet that is good for your physical health is also good for your mental health.

• Drink sensibly. Excessive drinking is ineffective and an expensive way to deal with dif� cult feelings. The effects of alcohol on mood are short-lived and when the drinks wear off, you will feel worse.

• Keep in touch. Strong family ties and supportive friends can help you deal with the stresses of life.

• Ask for help. Look for all possible sources of support among individuals, groups and organisations. If coping is getting hard, don’t hesitate to contact your GP.

• Take a break. Give your body enough sleep and rest. Taking care of yourself will help you to stay in good shape so you are able to cope well with life’s dif� culties.

• Do something you’re good at. Doing an activity you enjoy will boost your self-esteem.

• Accept who you are. Feeling good about yourself boosts your self-esteem which helps you cope when life takes a dif� cult turn.

• Care for others. This will help boost your self-esteem and will bring you closer to your loved ones.

Tips to help you beat the blues...

Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is a condition where the heart has an irregular beat; a quiver rather than the usual coordinated rhythm. This condition is easily detected through checking a patient’s pulse and seeing whether there is any irregularity. Whilst AF, in itself, is not generally life threatening, people who have the condition are at an increased risk of suffering from stroke, with the risk of this increasing the older you are.

NHS East Riding of Yorkshire is introducing a number of schemes to pre-emptively identify patients that may have the condition but who may not be aware of it. Patients aged over 65 will be invited to attend a pulse screening service, or may be offered the test during their routine � u vaccination visit, to check their pulse. This will help identify patients that may be suffering from the condition, enabling treatment to start a lot earlier and reducing the likelihood of having a stroke and the associated risks associated with this.

GP Dr Richard Little from Practice 1, at the Medical Centre in Bridlington says “It only takes a minute or so to perform a pulse check and we only expect to identify a small proportion of patients that may have an undiagnosed AF. However the bene� ts of this scheme are clear. The earlier the detection, the earlier we can manage the condition and the greater the chances are that we can prevent a potential stroke”.

Preventing strokes

FACT: Up to half of all men and a quarter of women fail to wash their hands after they have been to the toilet. The most common way germs are spread is by people’s hands. Germs are often harmless but they can also cause illnesses such as colds, � u and tummy bugs. Hand washing is the best way to avoid colds, � u and other viruses. Regularly washing your hands with soap and water is the most effective way to reduce the spread of infections and help protect you, your family and those around you. Help to keep infection down – give soap a chance. www.wash-hands.com

Keep it clean

Flu newsWork is underway on our local swine � u vaccination plan for the � rst wave of vaccinations for patients at highest risk of severe illness and eligible health and social care staff. An effective vaccination programme will help us manage the second wave of the current pandemic and will help save lives.


T he 9th Annual East Riding Local Strategic Partnership

Conference will be held at The Spa, Bridlington on 25 November 2009.

The East Riding Local Strategic Partnership (LSP), which brings together public, private, voluntary and community organisations, works to improve quality of life in the area by delivering the local priorities of East Riding residents through partnership working and innovative service delivery.

The title of the conference is ‘Planning for the Future’ and the main focus will be the role that all organisations in the area can play in delivering ‘Our East Riding 2006 – 2016’, the East Riding Sustainable Community Plan. The successful delivery of this Plan ensures that the strategic ambition for the East Riding is achieved.

The conference will start with keynote presentation on the Audit Commission’s Comprehensive Area Assessment judgement for the

East Riding of Yorkshire for 2009. All delegates will also have the opportunity to have their say on the East Riding’s key strategic priorities as part of the refresh of the East Riding Sustainable Community Plan. The afternoon session will focus on the role of all partners in planning for the economic recovery.

Carl Duck LSP Manager commented: “We are really excited this year about the LSP Conference. We have a fantastic programme and some very high quality speakers, all of whom work and live in the area.

“Partnership working has been important in reacting positively to the economic downturn. This conference provides all partners in the East Riding of Yorkshire with the opportunity to infl uence our longer term priorities for the area.”

THE LAST ENGLISHMAN: The Double Life of Arthur Ransome by Roland Chambers (Faber: £20.00) Arthur Ransome, born in Leeds, was, from 1930 to the early 1960s, what J K Rowling is today: the much loved author of a series of children’s books that shaped the imagination of a generation. He started off in life as an offi ce boy and after reviewing and writing short stories became a reporter for the Manchester Guardian. Between 1917 and 1924 he was their resident Russian correspondent, in Moscow, where he was an uncritical supporter of the Bolshevik regime with unique access to the revolutionary leaders. After a stormy relationship with his fi rst wife (he was divorced in 1924) he had an affair with Evgenia Shelepina, private secretary to Leon Trotsky, one of the leaders of the Russian revolution. As his passion for Evgenia deepened, he was offering his services to the British government, both as unoffi cial diplomat and as spy. Ransome and Evgenia married and eventually fl ed from Russia, staying for a while in Estonia before settling in the Lake District. He had been a published author for a quarter of a century before the appearance of SWALLOWS AND AMAZONS (1930), the fi rst of twelve perennially popular novels set in the Lake District, featuring two families of adventurous but responsible children, the Blacketts and the Walkers. Roland Chambers makes this life story a fascinating and interesting read.MAD WORLD: Evelyn Waugh and the Secrets of Brideshead by Paula Byrne (Harper Press: £25.00) Evelyn Waugh came from an ordinary middle-class home but his life was changed fundamentally when at Oxford he met Hugh Lygon, an aristocratic boy who took him to meet his family in Madresfi eld

Court in the Malvern Hills of Worcestershire. The Lygon family were Anglo-Catholics who attended services in their chapel twice a day. The head of the family was Lord Beauchamp whose devout wife, sister of the Duke of Westminster, produced seven children. This then was the family who Evelyn Waugh described in “Brideshead Revisited”, Brideshead being his name for Madresfi eld Court. The American novelist, F Scott Fitzgerald, once described the rich as “different”, certainly the Lygon family were different in the extreme. The “Mad” of the title of this book is the family’s nickname for Madresfi eld Court, and “Brideshead Revisited” gives a watered-down version of what actually took place there. Unable to cope any longer, Lady Beauchamp packed her bags and left. Her brother, the Duke of Westminster, threatened to expose the corrupt practices of Lord Beauchamp to King George V. But out of all this Evelyn Waugh wrote a tremendous bestseller which has been televised using Castle Howard as the location and Paula Byrne’s story of his life is dominated by his relationship with the Lygon family. This absorbing story is confi rmation of the expression that fact is stranger than fi ction.MY FATHER’S PLACES: A Portrait of Childhood by Dylan Thomas’ Daughter by Aeronwy Thomas (Constable: £14.99) Sadly Aeronwy Thomas, the only daughter of Dylan and Caitlin Thomas, died in hospital, at the age of 66, a few days before publication of her book which is a touching and well-written family memoir. At the age of 6, after a nomadic childhood, she arrived at the ramshackle old Boat House in Laugharne on the estuary of the River Taf in Wales, the inspiration for the Llareggub of “Under Milk Wood”. The family were desperately poor and lived on

what they could get from the sea. Dylan Thomas found time to read to Aeronwy once or twice a week but he spent most of his time in the local pub, Brown’s Hotel, drinking and betting on horses. Every afternoon he was locked in his writing shed by his wife where he produced some of his most famous work. After her father’s death Aeronwy was a much-loved worldwide ambassador for her father’s work and President of the Dylan Thomas Society. This enchanting book confi rms Aeronwy as a considerable author in her own right.THE DAM BUSTERS by Paul Brickhill (Pan: £9.99) This massive bestseller is the lead title in a number of re-issues under the umbrella of Pan Military Classics series which have been re-launched to commemorate the outbreak of World War II 70 years ago. The book tells the story of how the Lancaster Bombers of 617 Squadron breached the giant Moehne and Eder Dams with Barnes Wallis’ Bouncing Bombs to deal a devastating blow to Hitler’s Germany. The Pan edition was fi rst published in 1954 and was their fi rst million-copy seller. The fi lm was premiered in 1955 when Richard Todd gave a distinguished performance as Wing-Commander Guy Gibson. Seven pages of black and white photographs include all the wartime leaders of the Dam Busters’ squadron. The Pan Military Classic series continues with COLDITZ by P R Reid £9.99). This wonderful wartime account records how prisoners from all walks of life - Belgian, Czech, Dutch, French, German and Polish as well as those from the British Commonwealth and USA - were incarcerated in this German castle. There were more than 300 escape attempts at Colditz including Reid’s tale of his own, which is one of the classics of Twentieth Century literature.

Celebrating Yorkshire in Bloom successes

EAST Riding of Yorkshire Council is celebrating its success in the Yorkshire

in Bloom Competition following an awards ceremony at The Spa Bridlington.

Beverley was awarded a silver gilt rose award and chosen by judges as the best town in Yorkshire, paying

credit to the hard work of green fi ngered residents as well as East Riding of Yorkshire Council and Beverley Town Council.

Councillor Matthew Grove, portfolio holder for highway maintenance, streetscene and emergency planning, said: “This is a fantastic and well-earned result in Beverley which shows just what can happen when people pull together to keep the East Riding looking its best.

“The award for Beverley is just one of the awards for communities throughout the East Riding which

have come after months of hard work from all concerned including local residents and businesses, local town and parish councils and East Riding of Yorkshire Council staff.

“This award is not just about fl oral displays, it is also about residents looking after their community and showing a great amount of civic pride in keeping it looking its best at all times.”

Another notable success for the council came at Sewerby Hall and Gardens which was competing in the category for country houses and

received a gold rose award.Councillor Jane Evison, portfolio

holder for cultural services, housing and public protection, said: “It comes as no surprise to me that the gardens at Sewerby have again been so highly commended this year.”

“Every year thousands of people make their way to Sewerby Hall and Gardens, where the fantastic fl oral displays are just one of the main attractions. These visitors are just as important to us as the judges from Yorkshire in Bloom, and they also single us out for the highest praise.”

Beverley Food Festival

THE gifts of John Champney to the town of Beverley will be celebrated in 2010 after a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund.

An award of £42,000 to the Treasure House will allow East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s archives and local studies and museum services to mark the centenary of the opening of Beverley Art Gallery in 1910 with a major exhibition about John Champney and his contribution to Beverley.

He was an important benefactor who funded the library and art gallery and who bequeathed books and paintings for public use and some of these will be used in the exhibition.

Part of the grant will be used to restore a portrait of John Champney in Beverley Art Gallery and to repair some of the books. A catalogue of the book collection will be made available online.

Councillor Jane Evison, portfolio holder for cultural services, housing and public protection, said: “The Treasure House has become an important part of Beverley and we are proud to have been able to make John Champney’s dream a reality. The events planned for next summer will be informative and I am sure of great interest to many people. We are grateful to the Heritage Lottery Fund for providing the grant funding to make it possible.”
