FLOOD DEFENCE
„ BY Tom du Boulay Despite the Environment Agency’s
offer to further consult it was only
E. eastridingnews@eastridingnews.gov.uk prepared to allow this to take place on
those parts of the six CFMPs which
fall within the East Riding boundary
Councillor Stephen Parnaby OBE,
leader of the council, said: “The
council’s cabinet has now considered
the Environment Agency’s proposals
and resolved to oppose them in the
consultation with the council and the
public on the whole of the six CFMPs
on the understanding that there
would be no publication until this
process has been completed.

E
ast Riding of Yorkshire
Council has opposed the
Environment Agency’s
proposals to withdraw
maintenance of flood defences
in the East Riding and other
rural areas.
Following numerous meetings
between the council and Environment
Agency over a three month period,
the council made an application
to the High Court to challenge the
publication of the six Catchment
Flood Management Plans (CFMPs)
which affect the East Riding as it was
not possible to reach agreement on the
issues in dispute.
and not on any part which lies outside
the area. In the view of the council
this was particularly important as the
main rivers drain into the East Riding
and the proposals can have a bearing
on the volume of water flowing into
the area. The Environment Agency
at that time was also insistent that
the parts of the CFMPs which fall
outside of the East Riding should be
published in June before the fresh
consultation had begun.
In a separate but related
development, the Environment
Agency has now informed authorities
of its intention to develop policies on
the withdrawal of maintenance from
certain flood defence assets.
strongest terms as they direct future
investment to urban areas at the
expense of the East Riding and other
rural areas.
“We will be making strong
representations to the Yorkshire
Regional Flood Defence Committee
prior to their next meeting on 9 July.
“We are contacting local MPs to ask
them to help facilitate a meeting at
ministerial level so that we can put the
case for protecting the East Riding.”
The council also has concerns about
the impact of the CFMPs in and
around Goole where the five main
rivers meet.
“The Environment Agency
has offered to start again on the
“Whilst this was a welcome start
the council is concerned that at the
same time this was taking place the
Environment Agency submitted
reports to the last meeting of the
Yorkshire Regional Flood Defence
Committee at the end of April seeking
support for a policy to withdraw
maintenance from the rural parts of
the committee’s area including the
East Riding.
“This is of course now being
challenged.”

„ LEADING LINES
LEADER OF THE COUNCIL
COUNCILLOR STEPHEN PARNABY OBE
IT is just over one year since the newly
refurbished Spa in Bridlington opened its
doors to customers old and new. Its first
year has been a tremendous success with
several new and high profile events, none
more so than the Yorkshire International
Business Convention, which was held there
for the first time in early June.
The convention originally started at its
single venue in Harrogate some 15 years
ago. Six years ago local businessman, Paul
Sewell, persuaded its organiser, Mike Firth,
to run a parallel event in Hull. The event
is a full day for leading business people
in Yorkshire and the Humber region to
network and hear from inspirational
speakers. For its first five years in this
area the convention has been held at the
excellent facilities of the Gemtec Arena
and the KC Stadium. However, this year the
organisers decided to take it on the road
after being impressed by the new facilities
at The Spa. Previous conventions have heard
from world class speakers, such as former
US presidents George Bush senior and Bill
Clinton, Rudi Guiliani, President Gorbachev,
F W de Klerk, Archbishop Desmond Tutu,
Jesse Jackson, Sir Bob Geldof KBE, and
several others. All speakers perform at both
venues and are flown between them by
helicopter.
This year’s convention included an
array of speakers all giving the message
‘can do’. Starting the day off was Tim
Sanders, business guru and formerly of
Nokia, followed by Matthew Pritchard,
who is better known as MATT the pocket
cartoonist of the Daily Telegraph. The
morning session concluded with Tim Smit,
founder of the Eden Project, and Dave
Stewart of Eurythmics fame, who is one
of the most respected people in the music
industry. The afternoon session saw round
the world sailor Tracey Edwards and finally
the speaker that needed no introduction,
John Cleese.
The feedback for the event from both
the organisers and the delegates has been
tremendous. The venue and its staff lived up
to the new reputation of being one of the
finest venues in the country, leaving a huge
impression.
It was a great day for The Spa Bridlington
and the East Riding and it was one of many
prestigious events I am sure that the new
venue will attract.
Cutting out plastic
bags
We are being urged to cut our use of plastic bags.
We are also told to put our washed and squashed
cans and flattened bottles in a plastic bag before
placing in the blue bin.
I realise that the cans and bottles must be kept
separate from the paper when recycling, but can the
council please suggest an alternative to using plastic
bags when adding cans and bottles to the blue bin?
Is it practical to have the paper collected in
alternate visits to the cans and bottles?
That way, we could add them to the bin loose,
without needing bags.
Chris Finn, Beverley
Dear Mr Finn
We collect paper, plastic bottles and cans in one
collection round from the blue bins, which is both
financially and environmentally more efficient.

„ HELPFUL, EFFICIENT AND FRIENDLY: Refuse
collectors – doing a difficult job in a cheery way
Thank you to refuse collectors
I would like to express my thanks for the service
that the dustbin men in Holme-on-Spalding-
Moor provide.
They are incredibly helpful, efficient and
friendly.
Our bins are always emptied on time and
left tidily out of the way on the pavement, also
anything that spills out is cleared up.
To separate out the paper would require a further
collection round, with all the attendant costs, as well
as an additional bin.
For this reason we ask that cans and plastic bottles
are put in a plastic bag so that the paper does not get
wet and contaminated.
Many of our residents use just one large plastic
bag and then wash and squash the cans and plastic to
squeeze it all in.
These materials can also be taken to bring sites at
local supermarkets and car parks.
We offer free black boxes for storing them until
you have enough to make one trip.
You can obtain a black box by calling the council
on (01482) 393939.

Blue bins
I would like to know why our blue bins are only
emptied once a month on a Friday.
With all the junk mail and newspapers we get

you come once a week or fortnightly. We are both

a delight to have such a great service.
Bethany Jenkins, Holme-on-Spalding-

Dear Mr and Mrs Laidlaw
Using the council’s existing vehicles to collect paper,
cans and plastics on Fridays is the most cost effective
and environmentally sustainable option.
One collection a month is adequate for most
households, although a larger blue bin can be ordered
by calling (01482) 393939.

North Bar anniversary
What a wonderful idea to mark the 600th anniversary
of North Bar in Beverley.
What a pity the photograph on the front page
of the June issue of East Riding News taken of the
event organising committee dressed in ‘Mikadoesque’
costume was in front of Beverley Minster and not
‘North Bar’ which I consider along with Holy Trinity
Church in Hull to be the best example of medieval
brickwork in the country.
Burnt clay bricks were hardly, if ever, used in
Britain after the Romans departed until in the late
14th century bricks were brought over from Holland
as ballast in sailing ships with our increasing export
trade to the Continent.
Hull, being a major port, saw a lot of bricks being
stacked up on the quayside so the East of Yorkshire
benefited from this early use of brickwork.
A photograph of this respected monument to
the skill of the medieval masons who built North
Bar would I am sure have been more appropriate as
a front page eyecatcher for a great number of East
Riding residents, many of whom, I dare say, are
unaware of the importance of this medieval gem.

I was delighted to read that the Tour of Britain will
be coming through the East Riding for the second
year running.
We both enjoyed watching it last year immensely
and look forward to finding out exactly where the

It’s such a shame that the first stage can’t start in

that the Yorkshire and Humber region is getting

£1.5 million to be spent on schools and children’s centres
Funding for facilities
„ BY Ali Thompson
E. eastridingnews@eastriding.gov.uk
Y
oung people and
children along with
their parents and carers
have plenty to smile about
in Anlaby and Beverley.
The council has secured £1.5
million from the Department
for Children, Schools and
Families.
The money, from the co-location
fund, will provide vital funding
for work on two campuses, Anlaby
Primary School and Swinemoor
Primary School in Beverley. It will
enable a wide range of services for
families to be based together to
improve the co-ordination of those
services.
The Anlaby project will receive
£300,000 to extend the children’s
centre, due to be completed in
March 2010. Family support
services, children’s social care
services, school staff and health
visitors will all be based there.
A total of £1.2 million will go to
the Beverley Swinemoor project
to redevelop parts of the school
campus. Facilities on the school
site will be improved and it will
enable family support, children’s
social care services and child and
adolescent mental health staff to
work more closely with the school
and children’s centre.
Councillor Penny Peacock,
portfolio holder for children,
young people and schools, said:
“This will mean that even more
„ PLENTY TO SMILE ABOUT: Parents, carers and children at

facilities and services can be
offered to even more families.”
Alison Waller, director of
children, family and adult services,
said: “The allocation of the co-
location funding is excellent news
for the East Riding. It is part of our
ongoing commitment to integrate
our services for children and
young people. The opportunity
to base key children’s workers
together in the same building will
make a huge difference in terms
of improving communication
and understanding of how other
services work.”

Residents get closer to achieving Target 45+ by increasing the amount of waste they recycle

New 34 per cent recycle rate

„ BY Gillian Pattison

„ Councillor Symon Fraser
portfolio holder for environmental issues,
waste, recycling, strategic highways and
planning

E
ast Riding residents are
getting closer to achieving
Target 45+ while also
managing to reduce their
waste.
In the 12 months to April, 34 per cent
of all household waste collected in East
Riding was recycled or composted,
compared with last year’s figure of 33
per cent.
This refers to all the waste recycled
and composted from the blue and
brown bins and from the council’s ten
household waste recycling sites.
The result was that 60,490 tonnes of
waste was kept out of landfill, compared
with the previous year’s figure of 57,000
tonnes.
East Riding households, though, are
each still producing about 802kg of
waste.
The Target 45+ campaign, to get every
East Riding household to recycle and
compost 45 per cent of their waste, will
benefit from the roll out of the brown
bins, which should be concluded by
October.
In April, 1,360 tonnes of garden waste
was collected from the brown bins
„ RECYCLING: Councillor Fraser with, from left, Graham compared with the 340 tonnes collected

Increasing the
amounts we recycle
while, at the same
time, reducing the
waste we produce
are real achievements

Councillor Symon Fraser, portfolio
holder for environmental issues, waste,
recycling, strategic highways and
planning, said: “Increasing the amounts
we recycle while, at the same time,
reducing the waste we produce are real
achievements.
“The council continues to look at
ways to help residents recycle even
more.
“This includes increasing the range of
materials for recycling at the household
waste recycling sites, and considering
schemes for batteries, cardboard and
food waste systems.”
The new recycling figures are subject
to confirmation after being audited.

All fired up to attend safety course Local action teams
Six local action teams (LATs)
have been set up throughout
the East Riding to encourage
individuals and groups to be more
involved in decisions made about
the public services they receive.
The project started in April
2008 with the creation of
two LATs to cover Goole and
Howdenshire, and Holderness.
In June, a further two were
started for Haltemprice and
Hunsley, and the Beverley area.
The final two, for Bridlington and
Driffield, and Market Weighton
and Pocklington, started work in
November and December 2008.
Teams talk with and involve local
people in the issues in their area,
and in improving the quality of life
in communities throughout the
East Riding.
The teams include
representatives from the police,
fire and health sectors, East
Riding Voluntary Action Service,
the council and other relevant
partners, all pulling together to
provide the best for residents of
the East Riding.

service will be very positive for
the children taking part.
He said: “The benefit for the
children is that it can help them

general schooling will improve.
By the end of it they have a
BTEC qualification and have
learnt new skills that will last
them a long time.”
The team is also working to
recruit more people to the first

lives in rural areas. Volunteers
are trained to provide medical
attention before paramedics
arrive.

approached the LAT to recruit
more people to work alongside

Councillor Burton said:
“The model we are using has
been piloted by the Advance
Bridlington scheme and has
been so successful that we’ve
taken it further to other areas.
While people can always come
to us with issues, it’s also
important that we go to them.
We can then work with our
partners and ward members to
help resolve any problems as
soon as possible.”

might be able to help with is

the resources and influence to make a difference.
“I view the local action team as the future with working practices between
the agencies and the voluntary sector becoming more cohesive and the team
being an essential part of finding meaningful and long lasting solutions to many
community issues.

Of those who took part from the
East Riding around seven per cent
claimed to be teetotallers, while 12

should be provided has been

Actions should also help to earn

When asked what they like about
alcohol, 58 per cent of people felt
that alcohol helps them to relax,
54 per cent agreed that it goes well
with food and 40 per cent thought
that drinking makes socialising
more fun.
The survey also looked at some
of the things people do not like
about alcohol. In total, 60 per
cent of people in the East Riding
thought that alcohol caused
anti-social behaviour and 57 per

“The results of the survey will
help us to understand why people
think they need alcohol and what
they believe needs to be done to
counter the binge drinking and
associated anti-social behaviour.
“The results will be used to help
shape local alcohol strategies and,
at a regional level, to develop a

and retailers.
Popular measures included
tightening up sales of alcohol to
underage drinkers, banning TV
advertising of alcohol and reducing
the price of non-alcoholic drinks in
pubs and clubs.
Only 59 per cent of East Riding
residents thought that stiffer
penalties should be imposed for
drink driving offences, a measure
which gained popular approval in
other areas.
The council, police and schools
were all thought to have some
responsibility for tackling alcohol-

Hull.
In the view of the council, the
drainage system barely coped with
the floods of 2007. Arguably the
pumping infrastructure came within
minutes of succumbing to the flood
water. During the same event, the
waters from the Holderness drain
system began to creep into the
city along the eastern fringes. It
is also known that the Beverley
and Barmston drain found its
way back into the village area of
Cottingham at a rate greater than
the Hull sewerage system was able
to cope with. The council believes
Environment Agency’s proposals are
likely to increase the risk of flooding
by allowing the encroachment of
water inland on such a large scale
will increase the risk to urban areas
such as Hull and will eventually
impact on Selby and Doncaster.
T
he Environment Agency’s
proposal to withdraw
maintenance of flood
management assets in rural
areas was lodged with the
Yorkshire Regional Flood
Defence (YRFD) Committee a
couple of months ago.
The YRFD Committee has
deferred consideration of the matter
in order to consult local authorities
including the East Riding and is
due to consider the Environment
Agency’s proposals at its meeting
later this month.
Councillor Stephen Parnaby OBE,
leader of the council, said: “Whilst
the Environment Agency did
concede that it needed to start again
and undertake fresh and meaningful
consultations, it is still proposing
a strategy that fails to protect rural
areas like the East Riding and leaves
thousands of homes at risk, not to
mention prime farmland on which
the local economy depends.
“The council’s cabinet has
resolved to oppose the Environment
Agency’s proposals in the strongest
terms and we are seeking a meeting
with local MPs to urge them to help
to arrange a meeting at ministerial
level where we can present the case
for protecting the East Riding.
“It is completely unacceptable
that all future investment in flood
defences should be directed to
urban areas at the expense of the
East Riding and other rural areas.
This is one of the most serious issues
we have ever faced.”
The council believes the
Environment Agency’s proposals
are inequitable to the East Riding.
Apart from Hull, more properties
were subject to flooding in the East
Riding (over 6,000) than anywhere
else in the country. The Environment
Agency’s approach leaves the
East Riding unprotected simply
because some of the properties at
risk are dispersed over a wide area.
Moreover, much of the land at risk
of flooding is prime farmland so the
proposals also adversely impact on
the local economy.
The East Riding acts as both a
drainage basin and source of water
supply for many other areas, so it
is all the more inequitable that our
area stands to lose existing levels of
investment as well as receiving no
benefit from the additional national
investment in flood protection.
The Environment Agency’s
proposals are unfair as the council
and local communities already pay
significant levies both to the agency
and the internal drainage boards
for flood protection. Nor is there
any recognition that proper flood
defences make sound financial
sense as the costs of repairing
infrastructure damaged by flooding
are enormous. In the East Riding,
the disastrous floods in June 2007
cost £45 million to the public purse
let alone the costs to individual
householders.
Hand in hand with the
Environment Agency’s proposals,
there is also a worrying threat of
local consultation and decision
making being further eroded as the
proposed Water Bill, intended by
the Pitt flooding review to achieve
transfer of major responsibility to
local authorities, has in fact been
drafted in such a way that proposals
on flood defences can be put in
place without decisions by anyone
other than the Environment Agency.
Those affected will have no say.
Councillor Jonathan Owen, the
council’s deputy leader, represents
the East Riding on the Yorkshire
Regional Flood Defence Committee.
He said: “It is difficult enough to
get the voice of the East Riding
heard on a committee which is
overwhelmingly dominated by The council’s
representatives from the urban, cabinet has resolved
heavily populated areas of
Yorkshire. But it would be even to oppose the
worse and completely at odds with Environment Agency’s
local democracy if the committee is
just reduced to an advisory role.”
proposals in the
strongest terms

full agenda report tabled for the council’s
cabinet on 16 June (‘Impact of changes
in flood and coastal risk management

What is a Catchment
Flood Management Plan?
The Environment Agency is
required to have Catchment Flood
Management Plans (CFMPs) in
place for the whole of England.
CFMPs aim to:
• understand the factors that
contribute to flood risk within a
catchment both now and in the
future
• recommend the best ways of
managing the risk of flooding
within the catchment over the
next 50 to 100 years.
There are six CFMPs that
fall wholly or partly within the
East Riding.Those plans are for
catchments of the rivers Aire and
Calder, Derwent, Don and Rother,
Hull and coastal streams, Ouse
and Trent.
