THE council has secured £1.2million from the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to become a Coastal ChangePathfinder.The funding will be used todevelop and test innovative waysto help coastal communities adaptto the pressures posed by coastalchange to help them to achieve alevel of wellbeing and quality of life.The funding is part of an £11million Government package forEngland in line with its coastalchange adaptation policy.The success of the East Riding’sbid has resulted partly fromdirect lobbying by the council toGovernment when councillors Jonathan Owen and Jane Evisoninitiated discussions with the thenminister Phil Woolas in 2007.Councillor Jonathan Owen,deputy leader of the council, said:“Along the East Riding coast thereare people living in very precariouspositions on the edge of rapidly eroding cliffs. This funding will helpus to provide basic assistance as wellas trialling ways in which financialassistance can be provided tosupport residents to move away fromthe real danger of coastal change.The greatest barriers for people wanting to move away from thisposition are the costs of demolishing their property, restoring the land andpaying the associated moving costs.”Councillor Jane Evison, councilportfolio holder for cultural services,housing and public protection, said:“There is a mindset that living nextto the coast provides an attractivelifestyle, but we need to ensure thatpeople are aware of the risks anddanger that this environment poses.“The basic assistance package willallow people to adapt and reducethe financial pressure they may have otherwise faced. Our new Pathfinder status will also allow usto provide more help for the most vulnerable and isolated on thecoast.” Along the Holderness coastline,the average annual erosion rate isin the region of two metres a year.However, monitoring shows thatsingle losses can be up to 15 metresor more.

t’s back to the future atGoole High School after thethird phase of the multi-million pound development wasgiven the go-ahead.
The south aspect of the originalschool building, which is 100 yearsold this year, will be opened up forthe first time as the final part of theschool building work gets underway.While the front of the original building, on Boothferry Road,remains largely unchanged, the backwas covered up by a number ofextensions, firstly in 1929 and thenagain in the 1950s.Now East Riding of YorkshireCouncil’s cabinet has given approvalfor work to start on phase three of the building project which will see theextensions removed and the originalfacade restored.Danuta Tomasz, headteacher, said:“It is a beautiful building which has been partially covered up for decadesas sections were built onto the back ofthe school.“Now pupils and visitors will havethe chance to see it fully restored. Thisis particularly timely as it coincideswith the centenary of the buildingthis year.”Phases one and two of the £15m building project are new buildings,which will provide teaching spacesand a number of extended schoolservices and green initiatives toreduce running costs and promotesustainability.Phases one and two are nownearing completion and the councilhas agreed to fund the third and finalphase which means work on phasethree will start after phases one andtwo are finished.All the work is expected to befinished by early 2012.Councillor Stephen Parnaby OBE,leader of the council said: “Thecouncil is committed to completingthis multi-million pound project toprovide a state of the art school inGoole which will benefit not onlythe present pupils but generations tocome.”Ian Cawsey MP for Brigg andGoole said: “When Steve Parnabyand myself visited the school recentlywe could see the difference that phaseone has already made and also seethe impressive main building that iscurrently being constructed as phasetwo of the project.“The fact that the council hasnow agreed to ensure that we canmove onto phase three straight awayis great news. I have commented before that the Goole High Schoolrebuild is a great example of localand national government workingtogether to deliver a common aim.I am very pleased with the supportthat the council has given as well asthe funding from the Governmentto ensure we have a school fit forthe 21st century. Both deserve ourthanks for helping us to deliver thisproject in a timely manner.”
