I should like to thank Peter & Val Nolton and all the kind people who supported the recent coffee morning. I am deeply touched and most grateful for the kind thoughts and the contribution to the York Against Motor Neurone disease charity after the recent passing of my dear wife Linda. Hopefully the money will go some way in supporting others who are suffering with this dreadful disease.
Thank you all again.

Successful Coffee Morning
Pete and Val Nolton would like to say a Big Thank-you to our Family, Friends and people in
the village who helped and supported us at our Coffee Morning, at Cherry Court, on Saturday
1st December.
We are delighted to report that we raised £250.00 for York Against Motor Neurone Disease and £273.00 for St. Giles Church, Bielby.
We had a wonderful morning and hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did.
Once again, many thanks to everyone.
(The village would also like to thank Val & Pete for hosting the event and working so hard with their helpers to put the morning together.)

Wireless Internet Service
I noticed in todays Pocklington Post (23rd Nov) that an East Yorkshire company called Quickline Communications has just installed a mast near Pocklington. This will provide a wireless internet service which promises to give a much faster data transmission rate than the current copper cables from the Melbourne telephone exchange. Typically we get around 0.7 MB/sec download speeds with BT but Quickline suggests their system speeds could be up to 40 MB/sec. Their website suggests that Bielby would be well within the coverage range of the Pocklington mast.
The advertised cost is a bit higher than the available wired systems but not unduly so. We are considering trying the service and would be interested to know if anyone else in the village has already obtained a connection to this supplier. If anyone has any information we would be interested to know and, if we finally take the plunge and give it a go, we will let you know how it performs.

Burglary In Village
“As many of you will already be aware, there was a break in on Tuesday evening at 5pm in the village. The Police investigating have asked that we report anything that could be of help, so if you saw any unusual cars parked in or near the village at around 5pm Tuesday or have seen anyone acting suspiciously recently please contact PC Jo Green at Humberside Police by dialing 101 and then extension 5883.
Also, if you have a ladder missing they would like to hear from you.
It would be worthwhile being extra vigilant about security as there have been a number of houses broken into in the surrounding area recently.”

Feedback On Bielby Road Issues
Paul has received the following email regarding the issues residents recently raised regarding the roads in the area.
Paul
Thank you for your recent email. I have looked at the issues in your email in conjunction with the Bielby Village Taskforce maintenance schedule as there is some overlap between them.
Gale Carr Lane
Although the lane is rough in places it does not contain any actionable defects as of yesterdays inspection. I propose to inspect the road again in the spring with a view to carrying out some localised patching works if required subject to funding being available.
Footpaths/Hedges
On yesterdays inspection I could not see any hedges that were causing am obstruction to the footpath and require cutting back. I did note though that one or two hedges did appear to have recently been cut. If you have specific addresses that you would like me to inspect please forward them on to me.
Potholes Bielby to Hayton.
Numerous tickets have been issued this financial year for potholes on this stretch of road. The most recent was a ticket for 8 x potholes with a completion date of 26 October. It could be that these are the potholes you referred to in your email. Unfortunately this stretch of road does seem susceptible to potholes so will continue to be monitored by this department.
Culvert although there is evidence on the surface that the culvert has depressed slightly East Riding of Yorkshire Council bridges team have been out and inspected and believe it to be in a stable condition. This issue was first raised with Highway Maintenance back in March this year and has been monitored closely. The situation will continue to be monitored and should the need arise the culvert will be replaced as we recently did at Thorpe Le Street.
I hope this email is satisfactory with you but if you wish to discuss the contents of it further please don't hesitate to contact me.
