Village News, Flooding, Devolution, Wellbeing and Hagg Bridge

 Happy New year to everyone, It's off to a very wet start, but thankfully no serious flooding. (I don't think??)

East Riding message on flooding events;

We are aware of multiple instances of flooding across the East Riding. Our teams have been and continue to be out working to keep residents safe along with our many partners including Humberside Police, Humberside Fire and Rescue and the Environment Agency.

We are working with partners to ensure that pumping is taking place across the East Riding at the locations in the greatest need of relief.

Our services are stretched but we are getting out to all locations.

Please advise residents to keep away from flood waters and swollen rivers, and not to drive through flood water. It is often deeper than it looks and just 30cm of flowing water is enough to float your car.

Driving through flooded roads can also push water into homes.

Latest information, advice and regular updates will be shared on the East Riding of Yorkshire council website and our Facebook.

This includes advice for residents about what the council and other partners can do to help in the event of flooding, and what residents can do to help themselves and safeguard their properties.

People need to have their say on this momentous opportunity for our region.

Hagg Bridge works to restart Monday 8 January

Hagg Bridge will be closing on Monday 8 January so our contractors can carry out the remaining works.

This will involve waterproofing and resurfacing. Signage will be placed out across the diversion route to inform road users of the closure and diversions.
