First ever Humberside Police VIRTUAL Community Meeting

Posted on June 30, 2011 by | 1 Comment

THE FIRST EVER HUMBERSIDE POLICE VIRTUAL COMMUNITY MEETING took place  on the (click link) Humberside Police website last night.

This was a ground-breaking effort to use the internet to reach a wider and different audience and seems to have been a success. Sgt James Main from the Neighbourhood Policing Team in Scunthorpe who facilitated the virtual meeting said on Twitter today: “A big thank you to all that joined in the live forum last night – a first for us – but it went really well and will be doing more.”

The virtual community meeting allowed those taking part to ask general questions about policing matters and concerns. Questions were quickly moderated and appeared on your computer screen and replies from Sgt Main came quickly after (a snippet of the web chat is included below):

Whilst one of the initial aims of the virtual meeting may have been to concentrate on a geographical area i.e. North Lincolnshire, one of the conclusions of the evening was that a topic-based forum might work best in the future – a debate on specific issues that would cater for a wider internet audience.

A more hyperlocal approach aimed at a particular area i.e. the Holderness area could work well, but the virtual community forum would probably have to be accompanied by a lot of local advertising so that local people knew when to log on.

The software used to deliver the virtual community forum was Cover It Live.

This innovative and welcome initiative by Humberside Police follows the force’s successful experiment to use Twitter which started in April 2011.

What do you think – is the internet a useful way to communicate with the police on non-emergency issues and concerns? Would you take part in a local virtual community meeting?

New Blue Bin Collections

Posted on June 30, 2011 by | Leave a comment

HAVE YOU RECEIVED YOUR “BLUE BIN COLLECTION” LETTER from the East Riding Council yet? If not, you will receive it before Friday 22nd July in the Holderness area.
Once you receive your letter, then you can start to put glass bottles and jars (including lids), plastic food containers (including yoghurt pots, margarine tubs, food trays, carrier bags, plastic film and Tetrapak cartons) inside your bin along with paper, cans and plastic bottles.

The only types of glass you should NOT put in your blue bin are sheet glass and pyrex products.

Smaller blue bins will also be exchanged for larger, 240 litre bins to help residents recycle as much as possible. The exchange will take place on the next collection day after receipt of the letter from. Note: If your blue bin is the same size as the brown bin, it is already the larger 240 litre bin and will not be exchanged. You also have the option to keep your smaller blue bin if you wish.

Find out more at the East Riding’s Target45plus website.

What do you think about the new service? Are you finding it easy to pre-sort all the additional waste items before you throw them away? Let the Hedon Blog know your thoughts?

Please do not put glass, additional plastics and Tetra Pak in your blue bin until you receive the council’s letter informing you of the start of the scheme in your area.
