Local firms benefit from council construction work

espite the current
economic difficulties
across the country,
local firms are benefiting
from the council’s extensive
building programme which is
improving the East Riding’s
infrastructure and represents
long-term investment in the
future of our area.
The programme, already worth
£80 to £90 million over each of
the next three years, was recently
expanded still further when the
council brought forward a raft of
future projects to the value of £100
million over three years to help
local industry and the economy
Bridlington attracts quality business
AN independent, family-run
consultancy company, which
plans and manages deep oil
and gas well drilling projects for
clients around the world, has
recently acquired a substantial
warehouse on the Bessingby
Industrial Estate, near Bridlington.
Moorhouse Petroleum Ltd,
trading as Moorhouse Drilling
and Completions, provides
drilling and completions
management and supervision to
the onshore oil and gas, coal-
based methane and gas storage
industries.
This includes assisting with
acquisition of sites and local
planning matters, well design,
procurement of services and
equipment, and operational
during the present downturn.
Councillor Stephen Parnaby
OBE, leader of the council, said:
“Whilst the council has of course
to adhere to national and EU rules
on procurement, we are doing all
we can to encourage local jobs for
local people in the building and
construction industries.”
Local contractors are leading on
around 13 major projects either in
progress or due on site soon, each
worth from £500,000 to several
million pounds.
Many of these are school
improvement schemes but
they also include work such as
improving libraries and the on-
going development of a network
of children’s centres in line with
the Government’s policy of
developing services for children
and families.
A major recent project is the
supervision while drilling the
wells, prior to handover of a fully
functional well to the clients.
The company has been in
business since 1994 and now
works for approximately 20
different onshore operators in
the UK and abroad, with an
expanding client base.
Richard Sands, Moorhouse’s
managing director, said: “We
chose Bridlington because of
its proximity to clients and the
expanding gas storage operations
on the east coast of Yorkshire.
“Our new base at Bessingby
provides an exceptional facility for
us to expand into, including much
needed additional storage for
our own, and our client-owned
drilling equipment.
„ MAJOR RECENT PROJECT: Spa Environs –
visualisation of Spa plaza and promenade
Spa Environs to upgrade and
improve the public spaces around
the recently refurbished Spa
Bridlington building, which is
being carried out by Hull-based
Hall Construction Group Ltd.
Halls employed local people for
labouring and paving works on
this scheme.
Where building contracts are
carried out by larger regional and
national contractors, the council
requires them to invite local firms
to quote for sub-contracts.
The £20 million Spa
refurbishment, a two-year project
completed in 2008, employed
nine sub-contractors within a
20-mile radius of Bridlington and
33 between 20 and 30 miles of the
resort.
As well as involvement with
the larger projects, local firms are
currently carrying out many of
“The company’s move
will result in local jobs for
administration, maintenance and
stock control.
“We shall also be taking on
several engineering graduates to
learn the ‘deep well’ drilling trade.”
Councillor Andy Burton,
portfolio holder for community
engagement and local economic
development, said: “We are
delighted that Moorhouse Drilling
and Completions has chosen to
move to the East Riding.
“It is most heartening that the
Bessingby Industrial Estate is
attracting quality business despite
the general economic difficulties
and good news that local jobs
will be created as a result of this
company’s expansion.”

„ IN BRIEF
Have your say on
local services
„ Residents throughout the East Riding
are being encouraged to grasp the
opportunity to join a citizens’ panel.
NHS East Riding and East Riding of
Yorkshire Council are looking to recruit
1,500 people to give their views on
services in the area.
Panel members will have the chance
to comment on issues in the East
Riding and help inform decisions about
services provided by the NHS and the
council.
Recruitment to the citizens’ panel will
be carried out by telephone, when East
Riding residents will be asked if they
would like to take part.
Those who do will receive no more
than three to four questionnaires
each year, and have the chance to be
part of focus groups to form a good
understanding of residents’ needs,
concerns and priorities.

„ LEADING LINES
LEADER OF THE COUNCIL
COUNCILLOR STEPHEN PARNABY OBE
FUNNY old world isn’t it, none more so
than in the life of a local councillor.
Responding to residents’ requests is
often difficult to balance and pleasing
someone often results in upsetting
someone else.
Speeding motorists is a good example.
We receive more complaints about this
than perhaps any other issue, but ask the
police to take some action and “it’s all about
money making” or prosecuting “innocent”
motorists!
Litter is another one, a disgusting and
unsightly issue but fine someone and then
the sympathy comes out because “it was
only a sweet wrapper or one cigarette
end!”
Affordable housing is something most
people agree should be provided but
suggest a development and we start to hear
about the “undesirable” residents who will
move in.
Similarly how about renewable energy? It
seems most would agree that this has to be
the way forward, as long as it’s in someone
else’s back yard.
Illegal Gypsy and Traveller camps cause
huge problems for local residents, but try
to move them on and up pops the issue
of people’s rights and the do-gooders
(usually from afar) telling us not to be heavy
handed!
Dog dirt is often a big problem, but it’s
not easy to get residents to report the
perpetrators – no it’s far easier that “they
[the council] should do something about it”.
Recycling has been a great success with
most people making a huge contribution
but it doesn’t stop the minority complaining
– “I’ve too many bins!”
Anti-social behaviour, particularly by
youngsters, is a concern to many but
obviously not to some parents, so it’s
obvious “they [the council] should do
something about it!”
We are told that bad debts shouldn’t
happen, but evict a tenant, prosecute for
non-payment of council tax or business
rates and we are soon told how nasty and
uncaring we can be.
It happens everywhere.
Recently I witnessed thugs and yobbos
fighting and smashing up the KC Stadium, a
frightening experience that could have been
much worse, but catch them and give them
a custodial sentence and then “it’s much too
harsh, after all it wasn’t that bad”.
Difficult to please everyone and, of
course, things are never that black and
white, but it’s a funny old world!
Garden waste only
Could you please clarify what items we can put in
our brown bin.
When I received our bin I had been preparing
vegetables. I rang the office to ask where I should
put the outer leaves of my cabbage and cauliflower
and was told not the brown bin.
I know this was uncooked food, but surely it is
a plant too. Could you also comment on potato
peelings, carrot peelings etc.
Mrs Diane Hobson, Leven
Dear Mrs Hobson
To eliminate the sort of confusion you are
experiencing we are saying No to any food, either
cooked or uncooked, being put into the brown bins.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
By post: Andy Acum, Letters to the Editor, East Riding News, Room HG115, County Hall,
Beverley, HU17 9BA By fax: 01482 391407 By email: eastridingnews@eastriding.gov.uk
Letters by email must include a full name and address. Due to limited space, please keep your letters brief: longer
letters are likely to be edited. Letters must be signed with the name, full address and daytime phone number of the

A pat on the back for taskforce
This is a letter directed to Mr Mike Connor: I
know he is in charge of the taskforce teams which
have been working around the villages, and may
I say whoever came up with the idea should get a
big pat on the back!
It’s a little while since they came to
Thorngumbald and although I feel our village
is generally pretty tidy (we can all have a moan
about dog dirt etc), I must say that after they had
been here the main street and car park were so
much cleaner, and as I walked around I thought
“what an improvement!”
The bins are for garden waste only, including
grass, small branches, dead plants and trimmings.
The waste from the brown bins goes straight to
composting.
Should food waste be added, all the collected
waste would have to be treated differently under the
government’s Animal By Products Regulations 2005.
The collected waste would have to undergo heat
treatment in an enclosed environment to remove
pathogens, which could contaminate the compost
and pose a health risk.
John Skidmore, head of streetscene services
Summer bonfires
Yet again a lovely summer day was spoilt by someone
burning garden rubbish.
It not only pollutes the air but penetrates into the
house so windows, patio doors, etc have to be closed.
With much recycling available plus brown bins surely
there is no need to have garden fires.

„ THE TASKFORCE TEAMS: Doing a good job
Your workforce was polite and really did a good
job.
All parts of Thorngumbald looked clean and
trim, so many thanks to all concerned.
Is this a yearly thing? If so, can we book them
to repair the grass verges on Hook Lane and
trim the hedges opposite our home (I believe it
is Crown land)? I know I should have asked this
year (it helps the birds when it thickens).
But on a serious note many thanks for a job
well done.
Mrs Doreen Auker, Thorngumbald
Are there any rules, regulations, byelaws about
burning garden rubbish?
Mrs V Poole, Willerby
Dear Mrs Poole
Each year the council receives over 200 complaints
regarding health effects or nuisance from garden
bonfire smoke.
In the first instance our normal response is to send
the person creating the nuisance advice on how to
eliminate the need for or minimise the adverse effects
of a bonfire.
Garden material can be reduced and a useful soil
conditioner produced by composting. Composters
will soon be available to all residents at a reduced rate
(see www.Target45plus.org.uk).
Brown bins which are specifically used for the
disposal of garden waste are currently being rolled
out to all residents of the East Riding.
There are also 10 household waste recycling sites
within easy access of towns and villages within the
East Riding where garden waste can be deposited.
If a bonfire is absolutely necessary then only dry
material should be burnt. Household rubbish, rubber
tyres or anything containing plastic, foam or paint
should never be set alight.
Bonfires should be avoided in adverse weather
conditions – smoke hangs in the air on damp, still
days. A bonfire should never be lit within an hour of
dusk or allowed to smoulder for an hour after dusk
when the smoke will hang in the air.
Always consider your neighbours – is the wind
blowing in their direction, do they have drying
washing out? Bonfires on weekends and Bank
Holidays should if possible be avoided as they are
more sensitive than weekdays.
With reference to the legislation controlling
bonfires, there is a common misconception that
byelaws exist prohibiting or restricting when they
can be lit.
If, however, bonfires persist following advice and
they interfere substantially with your well being,
comfort or enjoyment of your property, then we
shall investigate and, if substantiated, action will be
taken under the statutory nuisance provisions of the
Environmental Protection Act 1990.
This will involve the service of a notice either
prohibiting or restricting bonfires at the property.
Failure to comply could result in a hefty fine and in
extreme cases imprisonment.
Ian Mckechnie, senior environmental health
officer
Thanks to highways
Please can I pass on my thanks to two members of
staff in your highways office, Alex Wells and Rod
Towse.
I rang them in July to request, at rather short
notice, an official road closure in Wressle for a
surprise street party to say thank you to a retiring
churchwarden.
Ms Wells and Mr Towse handled my enquiry in a
courteous, helpful and prompt manner and made the
whole thing happen.
We had a lovely afternoon in Wressle, the sun shone,
about 60 folk enjoyed the tea and drinks and closing
the back street made it all the more relaxed and safe.
Sarah Falkingham, Willitoft
Pick up your dog mess
We would like to ask more members of the public to
pick up their dog’s waste and keep Brough and the
East Riding a nice place to live.
We, as children, are fed up of seeing dog mess left
where people can stand in it.
When we are playing in our park or walking along
the street we don’t always notice it and accidentally
stand in it. It spoils our play area, can cause diseases
and it is bad for the environment.
We are putting up posters and handing leaflets out
remind people to PICK IT UP in and around the
Brough area.
We are also writing to the council to ask them to
provide more bins for dog waste and to step up fines
to £75 for not picking it up.
Millie Jackson, Ella Brookfield and Stevie
Akrill aka the Marvellous Monkeys (our
Lifestyle team name)
Dear Millie, Ella and Stevie
Thank you for your letter regarding dog waste in
Brough.
From 1 October, new dog control orders will come
into force across the East Riding, which will allow
the council to issue dog owners with fixed penalty
notices of £75 if caught dog fouling.
All litter bins can be used to dispose of dog waste,
so owners do not need to look for specific dog waste
bins.
The council also asks that dog owners act
responsibly and ensure they take bags to clean up
when walking their dogs.

East Riding resident wins the competition to name Beverley’s new relief road
Naming Beverley’s bypass

inster Way has
been chosen as the
name of the new
southern relief road planned
for Beverley following a
competition in East Riding
News.
The road will connect the A164
from Morrisons roundabout to
the A1174 Hull Road near Figham
and has been planned to reduce
traffic and congestion in the
town.
A competition was launched
in the May edition of East Riding
News to find a suitable name
for the road. Minster Way was
selected from more than 150
entries as the winning name.
Of the seven people who chose
Minster Way as the best name for
the southern relief road, Thomas
Sykes, aged eight, was chosen as
the winner in a random draw.
After unsuccessful attempts
to get in touch with Thomas, he
and his parents or carers have

“Minster Way will provide a
long awaited and valuable access
route to Beverley, allowing traffic
to bypass the town centre.
“It will be key to reducing
congestion in the town and the
number of vehicles on roads such
as Keldgate.”
Nigel Leighton, director of
environment and neighbourhood
services, said: “I would like to
thank all the participants for
submitting an interesting range of
proposals. It made the selection
of the winner very difficult.
“One of the key priorities for
the scheme is to remove traffic
and congestion from the town
centre and protect historical
buildings such as the Minster.
Keldgate will be one of the
benefactors from the creation of
the new relief road and Beverley’s
historical linkage with the
Minster influenced the winning
selection.”

especially with the Government’s
focus on English and maths at
GCSE.
“This will mean we get central

right across the school, especially
with improved ICT facilities for

Protecting teenagers against cervical cancer

NHS East Riding of Yorkshire is offering
further courses of HPV vaccine from
September 2009.
There are many types of Human Papilloma
Virus (HPV) and the vaccine protects
against the two types that cause most cases
(over 70 per cent) of cervical cancer. It
is important that girls are aware that the
vaccine does not protect against all types
of HPV and that they will still need to have
cervical screening (the smear test). The HPV
is given as a course of three injections over
six months.
Girls aged 13 to 18, born between
01/09/91 – 31/08/95 are eligible.
Girls who are still in school will be
offered appointments at their school. Girls
going into year nine should have had their
vaccinations in the last school year.
Community clinics have been arranged
in the East Riding Colleges and at Bishop
Burton College for students enrolled there.
Community clinics have also been
arranged for girls educated at home,

Council commits to care services

As part of our ongoing
commitment to ensure good
standards of care services,
East Riding of Yorkshire
Council recently invited care
homes to tender to provide
services under an updated
and improved contract and
specification.
We consulted with
both care providers and
advocates for people who
receive care home provision
prior to advertising the
tender. Feedback on the
process and required
standards was very positive.
We anticipate that the
majority of care homes in
the East Riding will meet the
tender requirements and be
awarded the new contract.
However a few care
homes will not. Where they
have just recently opened,
changed ownership, chosen
not to participate or were
unable to meet the selection
criteria for some other
reason, they will not be
awarded the new contract
in September 2009.
These homes will,
however, be eligible to apply
in the following year.
Where a care home is not
awarded the new contract,
existing residents will not be
affected.
There will be no
requirement to move – as
long as the care home
continues to meet its
assessed needs.
We will continue the
existing contract with the
care home.
The council will of course
continue to monitor
provision at all care homes,
and work with them to
provide good levels of
care to people assessed as
needing residential support.

New Hang Out Zones give East Riding children a safe place of their own
Places for kids to ‘hang out’

Y
oung people
throughout the East
Riding are set to
benefit from Hang Out Zones,
which are being created to
give them a place of their
own.
Hang Out Zones are being
created in Keyingham, Hessle,
Market Weighton, Driffield,
Nafferton, Haltemprice, Rawcliffe
Bridge, Holme Upon Spalding
Moor, Tickton and Flamborough.
Many of them have already been
installed.
They consist of a youth shelter
or other equipment that young
people would like.
In total the Big Lottery-funded
project has cost £79,200. The East
Riding community play officer
has been working on the project as
part of the ‘Yes, Play Here’ scheme.
Councillor Jane Evison, portfolio
holder for cultural services,
housing and public protection at
East Riding of Yorkshire Council,
said: “Hang Out Zones are

outside of shops and other public
places.
“We are pleased to have worked
with young people on this scheme
and hope that they will feel safe,
dry and at home at the Hang Out
Zones which they have helped to
design themselves.”
Hang Out Zones are designed
to be outdoor and unsupervised.
They are aimed at providing a
non-confrontational place for
young people to meet.
Young people have been able
to choose the type of facility they
would like and have a say in
where it should be located. This
makes young people feel welcome
in their community and take
ownership - resulting in them
having respect for it.

a smarter driving lesson*.
The lesson aims to aid
drivers in adopting a new,

saves money on fuel at the
same time.
On average, drivers
are able to reduce their
fuel consumption by
approximately 15% after

New businesses
thrive in Goole
NEW businesses are
springing up across
Goole, but the Pasture
Road area in particular
has become a thriving
hub of activity and now
offers visitors a distinctly
international flavour.
Another new addition
to the range of shops
and services on offer
is Recanto Do Pastel,
a popular café serving
Brazilian-style coffee and
pastries. One of a number
of new businesses on
Pasture Road, it’s the
brainchild of Eliane Secco,
who originates from
Paraná in the South of
Brazil. Eliane first moved
to Goole four years ago,
and has lived and worked
locally ever since.
She explained: “I had
friends who were living
in Goole who told me
that there was work in
the factories over here. I
worked in factories so that
I could save up enough
money to start my own
business and then opened
the café two months ago.
Eliane added: “I specialise
in Brazilian-style pastries,
which are very popular
A taste of Brazil
Brazilian cooking, while it has many
similarities with that of its South American
neighbours, is distinct and uniquely delicious.
Stretching from the Amazon in the north,
through the fertile plantations of the central
coast and on to the southern pampas, the
food of Brazil spans a unique mix of cultures
and cuisines.
Pães de queijo (Brazilian
cheese buns) are tasty
little cheese buns
popular in Brazil. They
are made with yuca
(cassava) flour, which
gives them an interesting
taste and texture and
makes them a gluten-free
treat. Modern Brazilians
can purchase packaged
mixes or buy pães de
queijo from street
vendors, but homemade
is best. Serve pão de
queijo with coffee for
breakfast.
Ingredients
Makes about 20 rolls
• Milk -- 1 cup
• Oil or butter – ¼ cup
• Salt -- ½ teaspoon
• Yuca (cassava) flour or
cornstarch – ½ a kilo
• Eggs -- 3
• Grated parmesan
cheese -- 1 cup
with local people. It’s
been very busy since we
opened.”
Other relatively new
businesses on Pasture
Road that have helped
to boost the area’s
cosmopolitan credentials
include Rustico, a bustling
café specialising in
Mediterranean food; a café
serving both Ukrainian
and English food; and a
Fair Trade Shop selling
ethically-sourced goods
from around the world.
There are also shops
specialising in Polish and
Portuguese groceries
that not only serve the
international population,
but also enable people
from Goole and the
surrounding area to buy
ingredients for dishes that
they have enjoyed sampling
on their holidays overseas.
These shops and cafes
sit comfortably alongside
much longer established
Goole businesses, further
enhancing the range of
goods and services on
offer in the area and
ensuring that the street
is a hive of activity
throughout the day.
Method
1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
Bring the milk, oil or
butter and salt to a
boil in a large saucepan
over a medium-high
flame.
2. Remove from heat
and slowly whisk in
the yuca flour until it
forms a smooth batter.
Set aside to cool for
10-15 minutes.
3. Beat in the eggs one
at a time until they are
fully incorporated, then
stir in the parmesan
cheese.
4. Form 2-3 tablespoons
of the batter at a
time into balls with
moistened hands and
set on a lightly greased
baking sheet. Bake
until puffed and golden
brown, 15-20 minutes.
Serve hot.

BAD GIRLS GO EVERYWHERE: THE
LIFE OF HELEN GURLEY BROWN by
Jennifer Scanlon (Oxford: £15.99)
This is a beguiling portrait of the woman
who was appointed editor of an ailing
American magazine called Cosmopolitan
in 1965 which she transformed into an
international success until she retired
at the age of 73 in 1995. Her first book
was the bestseller, Sex and the Single
Girl, in 1962 which reflected a new mode
of female independence and has been
epitomised in the very popular TV show,
Sex and the City. The book’s intriguing
title is only part of a slogan which in full
reads “Good girls go to heaven; bad girls
go everywhere”.
RIVERS by Griff Rhys Jones (Hodder:
£17.99)
The author was born in Cardiff in 1953.
He is a comedian, actor, writer, presenter,
director and producer whose television
credits include Not the Nine O’Clock
News and Alas Smith and Jones. Filled
with beautiful photographs and archive
pictures, RIVERS tells the fascinating
and often surprising story of the nation’s
waterways. Griff Rhys Jones swims in the
freezing Mersey, bog snorkels, follows
the salmon, abseils down a waterfall
and generally falls into the water quite
a lot. More importantly, he investigates
the changing face of the nation’s rivers
and stretches of water. Rivers travelled
include the Tay, the Ribble, the Derwent,
Humber, Trent, Severn, Wye, Stour,
Ouse, Nene, Lea and the Thames. River

Sean Carroll, senior road safety
officer, said: “This new initiative
has been a resounding success in
primary schools and has helped
to reduce any fears that pupils
may have with the prospect of
travelling to school by bus. This
is all the more important because
the East Riding is a very rural
area with many pupils relying on
buses for transport to school.”

AND GOD CREATED CRICKET:
An Irreverent History of the English
Game and How Other People (like
Australians) Got Annoyingly Good
at It by Simon Hughes (Doubleday: £20)
Simon Hughes goes right back to the
beginnings of the game and suggests
that it might have been invented by the
French, but then acknowledges that
this is a joke. There are details of the
author’s own trials as an aspiring county
cricketer who never quite made it to the
very top. The book gives glimpses of his
own encounters with some of the great
players of his era but really it’s about
a sport that defines Englishness like
no other national pastime and as such
would make a wonderful present.
DEATH ON THE ICE by Robert Ryan
(Headline: £6.99)
This epic true story is set in the glory
days of the British Empire in 1912
when Naval Captain Robert Falcon
Scott journeyed to the South Pole.
But it is forever the story of the five
men who reached the South Pole on
January 18th including Captain Oates
of the Inniskilling Dragoons, only to
discover the Norwegian explorer Roald
Amundsen had reached it before them.
On the desperate return journey a
series of accidents resulted in Captain
Oates deciding that his severe frostbite
would fatally handicap his companions
and so he walked out into the blizzard,

behaviour can affect the safety of

A reporting mechanism is

journey to school. This can be
done in complete confidence and

deliberately sacrificing his own life. This
self-sacrifice did not save the rest of the
party who were ultimately overwhelmed
by the conditions. This is one of the great
reads of the Golden Age of Exploration.
THE WOLF by Richard Guilliatt and
Peter Hohnen (Bantam Press: £17.99)
In 1916 an apparently ordinary freighter
sailed out of Kiel in Germany but in
fact she was a masterpiece of deception
concealing six-inch guns, torpedoes and
a hold packed with mines. Brilliantly
commanded by Kapitan Karl Nerger, the
ship traversed three of the four world’s
major oceans, destroying more than
thirty Allied vessels during its incredible
fifteen-month journey. The Wolf
maintained radio silence and survived
solely on fuel and food plundered from
captured ships, enabling her to never put
into port. Indeed, she was in fact never
caught and survived the war, sailing
back into her home port. This is an
undiscovered gem of a true story which
has drawn on eye-witness accounts,
unpublished memoirs and Government
files. Strongly recommended.
THE READING ROOM by Ruth
Hamilton (Pan: £5.99)
There is a whole group of romantic
novelists who are enormously popular
in the libraries of this country. Amongst
them is Ruth Hamilton whose nineteen
previous novels have either been set
in Lancashire or Liverpool. She writes
about both places with a realistic insight
and dramatic imagery and always
produces a satisfying read.

The Spa is in the running for
the Business Tourism Award of
the Year at the prestigious White
Rose Awards, which recognise
the best in Yorkshire.
Councillor Jane Evison,

although not at all surprised,
to see the Spa appear on the
shortlist for this award.
Survey shows customer satisfaction
LEISURE centres
throughout the East Riding
have been given the thumbs
up again by the people who
use the facilities.
The annual leisure survey,
which measures current
customer satisfaction, saw
questions asked at 11 East
Riding sites. Following last
year’s high result, the public
were even happier with
the service this year and
customer satisfaction rose
one point to 87 per cent.
Councillor Jane Evison,
portfolio holder for cultural
services, housing and
public protection, said:
“As well as pulling in big
name artists like the Kooks,
Scouting for Girls, Paul Weller
and Oasis and providing family
entertainment throughout the
year, The Spa is also now an
extremely attractive conference
facility. Involvement in high-
profile events such as the
Yorkshire International Business
Conference highlights just how
much the Spa has to offer.”
During the first year since
its refurbishment The Spa has
landed awards including the
New Venue of the Year 2009 at
the Insider Business Tourism

It has hosted a wide range of
events including the Yorkshire

This year the council
asked for additional
feedback on timeliness, and

Well managed...
EACH year the council is
required to produce a Statement
of Accounts showing its
financial position and income
and expenditure for the year.
The format and content of
the accounts is largely set by
Financial Reporting Standards
CAPITAL INVESTMENT: Waterview Lodge (Children’s Centre), Driffield
and Accounting Codes of
Practice, resulting in a complex
technical document. These
summary accounts are a
simplified version of the accounts
to provide more meaningful
and useful information to non-
technical users.
The accounts are audited by the Audit
Commission to ensure that they
present fairly the financial position
of the council and its income and
expenditure. The audited accounts
will be available from October 2009.
The council has a very strong track
record in producing the Statement of
Accounts, with a clean bill of health
being issued by the Audit Commission
each year to date.
On an annual basis the Audit
Commission judges how well all
local authorities manage their
finances and provide value for
money (VFM) to residents as part
of the Comprehensive Performance
Assessment. In 2008, they awarded
a score of 4 out of 4 for Use of
Resources, which means that East
Riding of Yorkshire Council is
performing at a high level. The Audit
Commission commented “…the
council has improved faster than other
councils in all priority areas” and “.. the
council provides good value for money
and manages high performance across
Nigel Pearson, chief executive
a range of services”.
As in previous years, the Audit
Commission made a small number of
recommendations for improvement
and the council will address these
in 2009/10 in order to continuously
improve financial management and
deliver high quality VFM services.
Our performance
OUR services use a number of indicators
to measure and monitor how well they
are operating and delivering their services
which will be used to ensure the council
improves how it manages its resources.
This information is used in Service and

Looking forward...
THE council’s vision is to improve
the quality of life for our community,
earn the respect of the people we
serve and build pride in belonging
to the East Riding of Yorkshire. To
achieve this the council has identified
a number of corporate priorities for
2008/11 to ensure we continue to be
a responsive top performing council.
These priorities have been developed
in consultation with, and to reflect the
needs and aspirations of, local people,
and will enable the council to deliver
its obligations alongside its partners
through the Sustainable Community
Plan and Local Area Agreement.
Our aim continues to be to provide
high quality, value for money services
to residents and to show a capacity
for innovation and improvement
that enables the council to meet the
challenges of the future. The council
has continued to provide a good level
of service, something that has been
recognised by the Audit Commission in
awarding us a four star rating for our
services in the annual comprehensive
performance assessment. This
top score recognises the council’s
commitment to providing improved
services that represent value for
money to the people of the East Riding.
For 2009/10 the council has set a
budget that protects essential services
and puts money into priority areas
agreed through consultation with
partners. An additional £10.9m will
be spent on adult services over the
next three years to provide care

trip on the Hull and
Humber clipper
THE lucky winner of August’s
East Riding News competition
to win a trip on the Hull and
Humber is Mrs Susan Holt of
Anlaby.
Mrs Holt will be treated to
a breakfast briefing from the
crew before boarding the 30
tonne, 68-foot yacht to spend a
morning experiencing what life
is like onboard an ocean-going
session with Hull City players.
The scheme has already been
trialled at two East Riding schools -
Boothferry Primary and Kingsway
Primary with tremendous success.
Over 100 children attended the
sessions and the schools gave
feedback to help develop future
content of the programme.
Councillor Ros Jump, portfolio
holder for health, diversity and

impact in the schools where it is

The race itself will start from

stress that it isn’t just for children
who are football crazy, it aims
to promote sport and physical
activities across the board as well
as improving the knowledge of
pupils around healthy eating, and
building confidence and self-
esteem. Having Hull City on board
is a tremendous coup and the club
and players will have a real role
to play in improving the health
and well being of our East Riding
children”.
