Graham Stuart, the local Member of Parliament for Beverley and
Holderness, has published the results of his survey of Hedon residents.
In his “Holderness News Report ” he indicates the top three issues
concerning over 600 residents who responded, as:
l Council Tax
l Flooding
l Antisocial behaviour
Local MP
Air pollution, over development and the amount of traffic on Hedon ’s Graham Stuart
roads were three environmental issues cited by the MP who has
pledged to pass over the results of the survey to responsible
authorities.
On the Council Tax issue, Graham Stuart MP has expressed his support for a two year
freeze in the Council Tax as a recession fighting initiative that would enable people to keep
more of their own money.
What do you think?

Hedon Town Councillor suspended for one month
Posted by rayduff on April 8, 2009
Hedon Town Councillor John Ledger has been suspended from his position for one calendar
month after the East Riding Council ’s Standards Committee resolved that he had breached
the ‘Code of Conduct ’ for Councillors.
The matter related to a Town Council Property Committee Meeting in September last year
at which Councillor Ledger failed to declare an interest in a planning application to erect
posts on a footpath near his property.
The posts in question are ‘P’ shaped and allow walkers to proceed but deters bikes and
horses. However, the footpath and posts in question were in close proximity to Councillor
Ledger ’s property.
The case may seem quite minor and perhaps can be put down to “not following procedure ”
correctly and should therefore not reflect badly on the Councillor ’s otherwise hard work on
behalf of his community.
However, it does serve to remind us that we quite rightly expect high standards from our
elected officials and it’s good to know that matters such as these are taken seriously and
actively scrutinised by other council structures.
Hull and East Yorkshire Credit Union
Posted by rayduff on April 8, 2009
In times when faith in the traditional banking
sector and bankers has been severely
dented, and when people are looking
carefully at their money and who looks after
Supporting your local community! it, then it ’s good to know that ethical
alternatives exist.
Since it was formed the Credit Union has helped its members by paying out over 11,000 low
cost loans to the value of over £9 million. In particular they have a Freedom Loan which is
available to new members to apply for this makes available a low interest loan of up to
£500. This can be a extremely useful to anyone who is wanting to escape the clutches of a
loan shark or a high interest high street lender.
A Credit Union encourages good personal money management and will not bombard you
with offers of instant credit. Instead it encourages you to develop the ‘habit’ of saving your
own money as little or as much as you want. As a co operative you can also benefit from
an annual dividend on your savings.
A Credit Union:
l is locally run by and for its members;
l shares out its surplus with its members;
l aims to keep money within the local economy ; and
l works for local people and helps to build the capacity of their communities.
Credit Unions are registered with and regulated by the Financial Services Authority .

Consultation on Permit for Waste Incinerator at Saltend
near Hedon
Posted by rayduff on April 7, 2009
The BBC has reported that a month long consultation
begins today (7th April, 2009) on plans to issue an
operating permit for a waste burning incinerator at
Saltend.
In its press release the Environment Agency states
that the permit will ensure that the plant operates
without causing significant harm to the environment and human health.
The consultation period will last until Thursday, 7 May 2009, allowing people to give their
views on the draft permit and explanatory decision document.
HOTI Hull & Holderness Opposing the Incinerator is a campaigning group set up in 2005
to oppose the new facility on health, safety and environmental concerns. The group ’s
supporters of all political shades will no doubt let their voices be heard during the current
consultation.
The draft decision, draft permit and original application documents can be viewed at Hedon
Library, St Augustine Gate, Hedon, Hull, HU12 8EX during opening hours.
