Posted on May 14, 2012 by | Leave a comment

THE HEDON BLOG is always keen to shout out for local businesses in the town. We obviously feature the local pubs and churches quite a lot because these are centres of our local community where people choose to gather.

However, the Hedon Blog think it’s important not to forget that the local shops are also essentially crucial community meeting places. We were reminded about this back in March 2012 when Rennardson News on New Road, Hedon asked to be included in our Business Directory.

“We are an up and coming local store that aims to keep growing and improving in the local community and be part of Hedon. We sell a range of products from Yorkshire Milk and sandwiches to slush to ice-creams to newspapers all for affordable prices. We are part of Shop Locally and have got some fantastic prices on well-known brands, come and browse and have a chat with us – a local business.”

So this is a shout-out for Rennardson’s and all our other local traders out there! Please do support our retail community centres! Browse, chat – and buy! :-)

Hedon Penny Throwing 2012

Posted on May 10, 2012 by | 1 Comment

IT WILL BE RAINING PENNIES in Hedon next week when the new Town Mayor throws the pennies to local children!

Hedon Penny Throwing from 2010 with Councillor Brenda Goldspink

Councillor Jim Lindop will be formally appointed as the 665th Mayor of Hedon at the ‘Mayor-making’ ceremony at the Town Hall on Thursday 17th May 2012 – and in keeping with tradition his first official act will be to lead the proceedings at the Hedon Penny Throwing event.

The Penny Throwing event is one of the most peculiar events in Hedon’s civic calendar. Steeped in history, it is a parody of the days when Hedon was a ‘rotten borough’ with people being offered money to vote for a particular Mayoral candidate. Following their appointment the incumbent Mayor would pay-off his supporters.

Today the event is a real fun occasion with children being thrown pennies by the new Mayor and civic leaders.

Children should get to Hedon Town Hall for 7:00pm.

APPEAL for Information – Theft of Pedal Cycle, Hedon

Posted on May 9, 2012 by | Leave a comment

POLICE are seeking information in connection with the theft of a classic style pedal cycle from a property in Church Lane, Hedon overnight from Tuesday 24th April 2012 into Wednesday 25th April 2012.

The 1940s style shopper pedal cycle in black was taken from the rear garden of the property in Church Lane, Hedon by thieves entering the garden through a side gate. The distinctive cycle was not secured enabling thieves to make off with it.

The cycle is described as black with a metal basket frame in front of the handle bars, but no basket. In addition the cycle has front and rear mudguards, chrome handle bars, a bell and brake handles with red grips.

The most distinctive feature perhaps, is the green and brown advertising sign mounted within the frame of the cycle, displaying the wording JOHNSONS OF HEDON SPECIALIST DIY AND HOMECARE ESTABLISHED 1969 TEL: 01482 898307.

Police are appealing to the public to report any sightings of the cycle or provide any information in connection with the theft by calling the non emergency number 101 quoting crime number 1903381 or at Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
