Horsewell Pond April 2008

HORSEWELL POND in Ivy Lane, Hedon is listed as a site of local significance within the town’s conservation area. However, the pond has suffered from overgrown plants and silting in recent years which hides the actual deep water beneath.

Now Hedon Town Council is taking the lead in helping restore the pond but is requesting help from the public. See this from Hedon Deputy Mayor, Councillor Jim Lindop:

January 2012

Hedon Town Council in partnership with the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust would like volunteers to help with the first stage of the restoration of Horsewell Pond, Ivy Lane.

The Yorkshire Wildlife Trust will take the lead and direct the work that is required, it would be very helpful if some volunteers from Hedon could get involved.

This will take place at 10am on Saturday 28th January 2012. If you can help, please bring the correct footwear and possibly a spade.

Many Thanks for your help.

Councillor Jim Lindop Deputy Mayor

Location of proposed Zebra crossing

A PLANNING NOTICE from the East Riding Council in St Augustine’s Gate indicates that a new Zebra Crossing is to be installed at St Augustine’s Gate between Hedon Library and Rhythm & Booze.

This will be the second road safety scheme installed on this stretch of road. The Souttergate road narrowing scheme implemented in December 2011 at the other end of Market Place has been criticised by many residents.

What’s happening with St Augustine’s Church Clock?

Posted on December 20, 2011 by | 1 Comment

ST AUGUSTINE’S CHURCH CLOCK is a landmark across the town. Many people use the clock and its bell chimes as they go about their daily business and so have missed the useful timepiece since it got stuck at 12 O’Clock.

Hedon Town Council have been informed that the company carrying out the routine maintenance and other work on the church Clock have encountered a problem, in that one of the cog-wheels that was cut, is not up to the required standard and that a new machine will have to be purchased to do the work. This will put the work back a number of weeks.

A letter is to be sent to the company expressing the Council’s disappointment and concerns at the length of time this work is taking. Therefore unfortunately the clock will not be working at Christmas or on New Years Eve!

Thanks to Jim Lindop for the information.
