Jubilee Wall Hanging Art

Some of the children and teenagers in the village have contributed to a jubilee hanging which will be displayed in the church on special occasions.

If any children and teens living in the village would like to decorate a fabric square please let Sara know or pop down to Common Farm. Sara has all the materials needed -  fabric square,  fabric pens,  stencils if needed etc and it doesn't take more than 10 min to do.
Just email ridsdalesara@gmail.com to organise popping down in the next week or so. Thanks.

Update on Road repairs August and September 2022, Police Newsletters and Home for Great British Rail Bid

Forthcoming Road closure notices updated 

Official Notice here and Plan route diversions here.

Police Newsletters

For Pocklington

and

Market Weighton

Home of Great British Rail.

This message has been sent at the request of Councillor Leo Hammond (by Dawn Johnson)


Some of you might be aware that our neighbour York has successfully got down to one of the last six (out of an original list of over forty) areas being considered as the new Home of Great British Rail.


Great British Rail will be the new Governing body of our entire railway infrastructure. It would be a great opportunity, not just for York, but also the East Riding to secure this government body nearby.


Already, many East Riding residents, especially in our part of the county, work for the railway industry in York, and this massive investment from Government would unlock additional employment and educational opportunities for our residents.


It will also hopefully improve local infrastructure and transport!

The Government has launched a consultative vote on which of the last six areas the U.K. population would like to see as the new Home of Great British Rail. Whilst the final decision rests with the Secretary of State for Transport, this vote will help influence the Secretary’s decision.

Recently, myself and Cllr Paul West brought a motion to Full Council at ERYC to ask the council to back York’s bid because of the benefits our residents will get if York is successful. The Council voted unanimously in favour of our motion.

It is now important we do all we can to ensure York wins the public vote. I have voted online, as have many others I have spoken to.

I am writing to you to ask you to vote and encourage those around you to vote. Please vote for York and support our region in this great opportunity.

You can vote here: https://gbrtt.co.uk/hq-competition-public-vote/

Best wishes,

Leo

Road Repairs 15th August

 The work to be undertaken commencing 15^th August is all at the Everingham (Southern) end of the village and is to improve the drainage.

Phase 1: Monday 15th August 2022 until Wednesday 17th August 2022

"The road closure is necessary to enable the drainage and carriageway improvement works to be carried out in a manner consistent with ensuring the safety of the public. The Order is valid for 18 months, but it is anticipated that the works will be completed within 3 days on Phase 1."

Road Repairs Monday 15th August & 2nd September

 Dear Villagers,

We have been notified by the highways department that they plan to make selective repairs to the roads in and around the village commencing next Monday 15^th August and again from Tuesday the 2^nd September.  The initial work in August will take three days and the work in September is likely to take seven days.  Access will be allowed to residents but it may be necessary to enter and leave the village from a different direction.   

Road Repairs & Closure Information

 

Can I remind residents to avoid parking on the road near to where yellow paint has been used to mark areas to be repaired.

 

I will try to find out more detail on which repairs will be done first and advise you accordingly.
