Village News - not much

 Planning;

The current East Riding Local Plan was adopted in 2016 and has since been undergoing a process of review and update. The Local Plan Update was submitted for independent examination in March 2023 and has been subject to several hearing sessions in 2023 and 2024. Following these, the Inspector has recommended a number of ‘Main’ Modifications required to make the plan sound and has now requested public consultation on these proposed changes.

The consultation is taking place between now and 11.59pm on Monday 21st October 2024.

The consultation documents and further information, including on how to respond, can be found at: www.eastriding.gov.uk/localplanupdate.

Bielby History Display Board

Bielby has a new display board tracing its long and colourful past.  Mr John Peel, retired Pocklington School history teacher and village resident, researched and wrote this new account.

He explained, ''This project results from my years of studying the local landscape, talking to villagers and visitors and researching in York University's Borthwick Archive and the ERYC online archive.

''Several villagers helped with scanning photographs and fixing the board in place.  My wife Barbara has been a great support throughout, always on hand for a valuable second opinion.

''A special mention must go to Stephen Smith who some years ago found in Merton College, Oxford, the map it drew up in 1613 when it bought Bielby manor.  Merton kindly gave permission to reproduce the map and college shield.  It has requested a copy of the display for its archive.

Mr Peel added that Phil Gilbank of Pocklington History Society was most helpful and put him in touch with designer Harriet Dorman of Burnby and board manufacturer M4UK of York.

''Harriet was so creative and responsive to work with, while M4UK knew just what to do,'' said Mr Peel.  ''Both have served Bielby well.''

The board is now in place near the church in time for Heritage Open Days.  Even as it was slotted into the ground walkers from Huddersfield scanned it eagerly and villagers came for an appreciative look.  Like them, future readers are sure to find a few surprises about little Bielby.
