A new Honorary Freeman of the Town of Hedon

Posted on October 26, 2011 by | 1 Comment

A ‘HONORARY FREEMAN OF HEDON’ title may be bestowed upon former Hedon Town Councillor John Ledger in recognition of his many years of service in promoting the town.

Borough councils are permitted to pass a resolution admitting “persons of distinction” and persons who have “rendered eminent service” to be an honorary freeman of the borough. A resolution to confer the honour on Mr Ledger is being moved at a special meeting of the Hedon Town Council on Thursday (27th October 2011).

A vote will be taken at the meeting which will decide if, or not, Hedon Town Council does confer the title of Honorary Freeman on Mr Ledger. Two thirds of those members present and voting will need to vote in favour of the proposal for it to be passed.

Whatever the vote – it is an honour just to be considered! Congratulations to John Ledger!

Opportunities to add to local debates on HU12 Online

Posted on October 21, 2011 by | Leave a comment

SINCE HU12 ONLINE went officially live on 4th October 2011, it has become the local web-place to discuss the more ‘controversial’ issues affecting the local area and the surrounding villages.

An article about the teachers suspended from South Holderness for allegedly making inappropriate Facebook comments, and the social media campaign waged in their defence, has received much attention and has been picked up by other media organisations. See: Supporters wage social media campaign.

The publication of allowances  paid to East Riding Councillors’ has sparked renewed interest on that subject both in terms of visits to the website, but also debate on our Facebook Page. See: Should Councillors get paid?

And today we summarise the debate on the Boundary Changes as a ‘taster’ to some of the issues that may be discussed at the Public Hearings taking place next week. See: Should SW Holderness be included in the East Hull constituency?

In addition, visits to the What’s On? page has increased as readers discover that the page is for the wider area and not just Hedon. This vindicates the decision to host that page on HU12 Online.
