Hedon Newsletter Issue 13 available now!

Posted on January 31, 2010 by | Leave a comment

THE HEDON NEWSLETTER is now available to pick up from local shops, pubs and public buildings. The community newsletter contains a fascinating mix of news, notices, information, local history and entertainment.

The front page explains about the Flood Report commissioned by Hedon Town Council following the big floods of June 2007. The report constructively challenges the formal views of the Environment Agency regarding the measures that need to be taken to alleviate the risk of flooding in the area.

In the Editorial Mike the Editor pays his respects to the Town Council for backing the newsletter and reminds local groups and individuals to send in their news and views. This can be done easily by post, telephone or e-mail at hedonnews@yahoo.com.

Local businesses and organisations can also advertise in the Newsletter to reach a larger audience of local people and customers. Advertisements will help support this important local community news project.

The deadline for material to be submitted to the next Hedon Newsletter is 15th March 2010.

Managing flood risks in East Yorkshire

Posted on January 28, 2010 by | Leave a comment

PEOPLE IN EAST YORKSHIRE are being asked to have their say on long term plans for managing flood risks.

Many of Yorkshire’s rivers, along with the River Trent in the Midlands, either run through the western side of East Yorkshire or drain into the Humber Estuary. This means that plans for managing flood risk on the rivers Derwent, Ouse, Aire, Calder, Don and the Trent will be of interest to people in East Yorkshire. Consultation on these plans will run from 29 January – 23 April.

Known as Catchment Flood Management Plans (CFMPs), these documents identify the causes, scale and location of flood risk along each river. The Environment Agency then uses this information to work out the most appropriate approach or ‘policy’ for managing the various flood risks.

The average cost of a home in the region soared by 130% during the noughties, jumping from £55,574 in 1999 to £127,852 at the end of last year. Goole in East Yorkshire saw the biggest rise, with the average property value jumping by 157% to £134,945.

Additional House price information for the East Riding (including Hull) from OurProperty.co.uk, based on government data on average ‘sold’prices over the last two years, show that:

  • the most expensive roads are in Kirk Ella (average actual selling prices between £367,500 and £651,250)
  • the least expensive roads are in Orchard Park, Hull (average selling prices between £37,950 and £57,850.

In the HU12 post-code area then Hedon streets account for 5 out of 10 of the least expensive roads (between £70,975 and £94,975). Roads in Paull, Roos and Ottringham top the ‘most expensive’ list (between £276,667 and £357,500) based on average selling prices over the last two years.
