No dogs please.

This is a mini music festival and Barton Community Brass Band start the afternoon at 3pm. Pink Cadillac will finish the festival coming on at 8pm and finishing at 10pm.

I will finalise the programme in the next few weeks and post it on Bielby Blog.

If you have any queries please ask Richerd or myself on iwsimpson@hotmail.com or phone 318328 or 318314.

This event is free, but we are inviting donations in the region of £10.00 per adult or whatever you can afford and children go free. Please could you ensure children are supervised at all times. There will be no one on the gate checking comings and goings. The road is dangerous at this point.

All profit will go, as in previous years to Marie Curie.

Stoneleigh home have kindly offered to sponsor Barton Community Band and Peter and Stephanie Duckworth have very kindly agreed to sponsor Pink Cadillac who are playing for a much reduced fee.

Last year we raised nearly a thousand pounds for Marie Curie. Lets see if we can beat that this year. If you would like to sponsor a band or run a stall please get in touch.

Hope to see you all there!

Market Weighton Police Report July 2018

Wolds Weighton Update for July 2018

1. Crime and ASB

TFMV – Theft from motor vehicle

TOMV – Theft of motor vehicle

ASB – Anti-social behaviour

Detailed crime and ASB data for your area can be obtained by visiting www.police.uk and following
the ‘Find your Neighbourhood’ link, also details of any particular crimes or series of crimes of note e.g.
serious assaults, run of Hanoi burglaries

2. Community Priorities

1. Market Weighton Town Centre area (Evenings):

Throughout July we are to continue our high visibility patrols of the Market Weighton Town Centre area to
deter potential anti-social behaviour (ASB). These patrols include regular checks on the High Street and
peripheral areas of Londesborough Road Car Park, Scotts Croft Memorial Park, the town council building
area and the area surrounding the Giant Bradley statue (periodic reports of youths causing annoyance).
Criminal offenders will be challenged robustly, arrested or reported for summons. Penalty Notices for
Disorder or warning letters may be used in appropriate cases however, those who offend should expect to
be arrested and dealt with if their anti social behaviour amounts to criminal offending.

2. Youths Causing Annoyance (Evenings):

Officers will continue patrols in the areas of Aspen Close, the park, the monkey run & football field due to

regular reports of low level anti-social behaviour. Anyone caught engaging in such activities will be dealt with

jointly with the East Riding of Yorkshire Council.

3. Vehicle related nuisance

To reduce anti-social behaviour (ASB) and its impact on the communities within the Wolds Weighton area as
well as taking positive action against offenders who cause ASB with their vehicles.  Hotspot areas will be checked
regularly and any drivers using their cars to cause alarm or distress will be considered for warnings and possible
seizure of their vehicles under Section 59 of the Police Reform Act.  

3. Crime Reduction Advice

Sneak Thieves

Now that summer is here again, we all want to relax and enjoy the warmer weather, however we still need to
think about home security to prevent ourselves from becoming victims of crime.

So what do you need to consider?

You need to ensure that your home is always secure when you go out and that you don’t leave potential entry
points open and accessible, for example a downstairs window or a door.  This also applies at night especially
when it’s a warm muggy evening and you are thinking about leaving a downstairs window open for ventilation
whilst you are asleep.

You may be out working in the garden and out of sight of the windows or doors that you have left open.  You
could even be cutting the grass or hedge perhaps with a loud lawn mower/hedge cutter or be using power tools
and it could be so easy in these circumstances for a sneak thief to take advantage of the situation, go inside
your home and steal things, for example keys, handbags, wallets, laptops etc that are often on display or easily
accessible.

The same applies with garages. We often leave the doors wide open and go off into the garden leaving
everything in them on display.  How easy is it then for someone to take advantage of this situation and
steal bikes, power tools or garden equipment!

Lastly there’s your vehicles to consider: On a warm day, there might be a temptation to leave your car parked
on the drive with its windows open to allow fresh air to circulate, along with items ,eg a sat nav, coat or shopping
bags on clear view that you just haven’t managed to bring in doors yet!.  These items can all be stolen very
quickly, but the worst case scenario is that your car could be stolen too.

The kinds of thefts described are committed by opportunists who could be wandering around your
neighbourhood looking to take advantage of people who leave their property insecure
so think security at all times and don’t become a victim of crime!

Wanted Field to Cut For Hay

Sue Richardson is looking for a field to cut for hay if anyone has one can they let me know and I can email Sue. Thanks

Info from Police & Crime Commissioner

Dear Parish Council,

I write to introduce myself. I am Debbie Fagan and I work for the Office of the Police & Crime Commissioner for Humberside (OPCC). My role is Engagement Officer for the East Riding representing the Police & Crime Commissioner (PCC), Keith Hunter in communities and partnerships.

As your Police and Crime Commissioner, the PCC is responsible for overseeing the work of Humberside Police, ensuring the effectiveness and efficiency of policing services across East Yorkshire, Northern Lincolnshire and the City of Kingston upon Hull.

As well as holding the Chief Constable to account on behalf of local people, the PCC's role includes:

•

Representing and engaging with all those who live and work in the communities in the force area, including the vulnerable and victims, to identify their policing needs; Setting priorities to address those needs by publishing a Police and Crime Plan; Publishing an Annual Report; Securing the maintenance of an efficient and effective police force for the area; Setting the police precept and budget; Responsibility for holding community safety budgets and commissioning services;

•

The PCC is responsible for ensuring that community needs are met as effectively as possible and for improving local relationships through building confidence and restoring trust. He will also work in partnership across a range of agencies at local and national level to ensure there is a unified approach to preventing and reducing crime. More information on both the PCC and the work of his Office can be found at www.humberside-pcc.gov.uk.

There are 155 Parish Councils in the East Riding and whilst I have already met with a couple who have experienced particular problems, I am unable to attend everyone one due to the sheer number. I will therefore be organising an area meeting for a cluster of Parish Council representatives to attend and meet the PCC and myself over the coming months. An invitation will follow in due course.

In the meantime, if you have any particular problems you require assistance with please get in touch.

Kind Regards

Debbie Fagan

Pocklington Canal

Dear Bielby Parish Council,

A notice for the parish.

You will be aware of the recent works taking place along the canal, taking place as part of two projects currently in progress on the Pocklington Canal. I would like to give you an update on the progress of the two projects.

As part of the ‘A Gem in the Landscape’ project (Led by Canal & River Trust with Heritage Lottery Fund support) dredging and tree works have taken place over winter 2017/18. This included the dredging of a channel along the centre of the canal between Melbourne Arm and Walbut Lock, as well as thinning of trees along the eastern half of the canal (mainly between Coates Bridge and Canal Head). The large spend (capital) works have now been completed, and there will be no more large scale one-off habitat works this coming winter. We will be installing new visitor signs on the canal at certain points with information about the history and wildlife of the canal.

This ‘Gem’ project also includes an extensive events programme, which you can view here: https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/about-us/where-we-work/yorkshire-and-north-east/pocklington-canal-project The Main Event for 2018 is the Bicentenary Festival, which will take place on 28^th and 29^th July 2018.

The ‘Bicentenary Restoration Appeal’ project (led by Pocklington Canal Amenity Society with public donations and legacy grant support) is nearly complete. Recently PCAS have restored Walbut Lock. This, coupled with the restoration of Thornton Lock and the HLF funded dredging, will allow boats to travel along the canal to Bielby Arm. This will be the new Head of Navigation for the canal. Boats will be able to turn around in the ‘junction’ between the canal and the Arm – boats will not be encourage to travel along the Arm itself, and there are no plans to dredge/cut this.

You will likely be aware that PCAS have started fundraising for the restoration of Sandhill Lock. This is part of a long term vision (over 10 or 15 years) to see the canal restored for use by boats up to Canal Head. This vision forms a new Restoration Strategy for the canal, which has been approved by the Pocklington Canal Liaison Group (which includes CRT, PCAS, NE, ERYC, EA, YDAA, English Heritage).

Both of the projects described above are being run in partnership between CRT and PCAS – whilst there are different lead organisations, both include the Liaison Group.  The lead organisation is responsible for the delivery of each project.

In addition, to coincide with the Bicentenary Festival (part of the ‘Gem’ project), PCAS are organising a Boat Rally at Melbourne Arm between 27^th – 29^th July.
