Yorkshire Water Community Engagement Event – 19 October 2024

Message from Kellie Foster – Yorkshire Water Corporate Affairs

As you may know, last winter there was significant flooding across East Riding, with significant impacts to the village of Ellerker. This flooding was caused by extremely high groundwater levels and at points, the water infiltrated our network. At that time, we mitigated the situation in order to allow customers to retain the use of their facilities and to prevent sewage escapes into customers homes and gardens.

As a result of this, we are holding a community event on Saturday 19 October at Ellerker Village Hall from 10am to 12pm.

This event will explain to customers what action we took over last winter to mitigate the problems they experienced, and what work we have done since this time. In addition, we will be offering advice on what individual homeowners can do to protect themselves from flooding, how to take advantage of our financial support packages for those in receipt of a low income, give advice on blockages and how to prevent them, sign people up to our Priority Services Register (for those who need a little extra support) along with much more.

The session will be interactive and suitable for all ages. Customers who live outside of Ellerker are also welcome to attend.

We would be delighted if you could attend the event, and help us to spread awareness of it so we can reach as many of your constituents as possible. I will also be inviting Sir David Davis MP as well as the Dale Ward Councillors. We will also be contacting the most impacted residents directly, as well advertising the event on our social media channels.

We hope that this event will be positive and a chance for our customers to ask any questions that they may have about Yorkshire Water.

 

ERYC Council Tax Support Consultation

ERYC has undertaken a Review Panel enquiry into the Council Tax Support scheme.
As a result, the Review Panel has made 9 recommendations, which include a proposal to change the Council Tax support scheme. Any change to a Council Tax Support scheme requires public consultation.
At it’s meeting on 24 July 2024, Full Council endorsed the recommendations of the Review Panel and as a result, the Council has now launched its consultation.
Please may I take this opportunity to make you aware that the Consultation is live and that both the Parish Council and residents can submit responses.
The Council wants as many people as possible to submit their views and therefore encourages anyone who wants to take part, to complete the questions in the Consultation.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Programme Manager

Ellerker Neighbourhood Plan Update May 2024

We would like to inform you about the progress of the Ellerker Neighbourhood Development Plan, which we consulted you about last year . The core of the plan, covering the years 2024 to 2039, based on your feedback has been developed with the assistance of Urban Glow consultants, funded by a grant we received. We are currently fine-tuning the plan with the help of EYRC to ensure it meets our requirements and can pass an external examiner’s scrutiny, as required by law.

We will be consulting you again for your opinions over a six-week period in the near future as mandated by regulation, on the pre-submission plan. The plan will be publicised for your review before the independent examination. This will be followed by a referendum, and if the referendum supports the plan, it will be adopted.
