New sculpture is the latest
addition to town trail
Another

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-

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

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 traffic

to be introduced, which will direct

road reclassification and new signing
to direct and control traffic 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
traffic 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 benefit 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.

„ LEADING LINES
LEADER 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 Office 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 flexibility - are agreed
by the Government Office 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.
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

Residents’ complaints of speeding motorists
I 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
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
„ PRIORITY: Curbing traffic speed
Dear Mr Burton
Reducing 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
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.

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 Turner
Thank 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.

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 Jakins
Common 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.

Addressing bullying and the associated issues
DIDYOU KNOW
• 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.

Tackling the bullies
„ BY Charlotte Richardson
E. eastridingnews@eastriding.gov.uk

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 confidence, 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

As part of the “Speak, Solve,

What to do if you are being
bullied:
• Don’t keep the bullying a

• Tell a trusted adult – your
parents, a teacher or a

• If that doesn’t work then
keep trying until you are
heard
• Keep a diary of incidents
which occur and show

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 find possible
solutions will ensure

eflecting 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 five 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.

Too much food in bins

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.

Spend £75 ...and save energy and money

for life
By spending only £75 on cavity wall insulation you
can save up to 25% on your fuel bills making your
home warmer and your living healthier.
Are you dreading winter because the house is
always cold? Then invest in insulation as this is the
most cost effective 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.

In most of these cases the criminal was an

it insecure. Residents should keep all doors
locked, even when at home.
Houses should not be dark when left empty in

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

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,
Mansfield.
The girls are now hoping for similar
success when competing individually in
the county and northern cross country
championships during the winter. „ HELP BRING WORLD CUP MATCHES TO THE KC STADIUM: Evie Robinson, Hull 2018

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-flight
international football to the KC
stadium.
Although they range from just
five 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
„ THROWING THEIR WEIGHT BEHIND THE BID:
allow everyone to experience the Children from Beverley St Nicholas Primary School
excitement of world-class sport.”
