The Hedon Local News Hub

THE HEDON LOCAL NEWS HUB is the kernel of an idea – that if brought into fruition – would involve bringing key groups in the town together to provide a positive press news service from – and about – the town.

It would involve those who have news to share – community groups, local businesses – having a clear mechanism available to reach local newspapers and other media organisations.

The creation of a network of citizen-journalists or community reporters would ensure that stories, news and information about the town was dug-out. Those involved would have opportunities to get training and technical support to aid them in that task.

Alterations to the Subscription Service


THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE SIGNED UP
to receive a DAILY E-MAIL of updates from the Hedon Blog (and a weekly HU12.net update) will see that service change from tomorrow Friday 1st April.

The e-mail will now only be sent WEEKLY on a Friday afternoon. This hopefully will give a bit of respite to those whose e-mail inbox gets filled up quickly.

However, on our new Subscriptons Page it is now possible to get exactly the e-mail updates you prefer, DAILY, WEEKLY or a ONE-OFF e-mail whenever a new Hedon Blog Community News is published.

You can easily unsubscribe from your existing service by clicking ‘unsubscribe from this list’ at the bottom of each e-mail.

Cloeberry Way, Hedon – From Garage to House

THE JOURNEY of new council-built houses on Cloeberry Way, Hedon from a pair of garages to three new homes:

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

These three homes have been built, following initial objections by local residents, as part of a £46.5m house-building programme funded by East Riding of Yorkshire Council and the Homes and Communities Agency. Another 328 similar properties are being built throughout the East Riding.

The new houses are being designed as “life-time homes” according to the Council, meaning they can be easily converted for people if they become less mobile as their lifestyle changes. Features which help with this include a good standards of ramps, corridors wide enough for wheelchairs, downstairs showers (or the ability to install these easily) and removable panels to allow floor platform lifts to be installed.

See HU12 for a background article.

HU12 Website – monthly favourites

THE HEDON BLOG’S PARENT website, HU12, has developed its own particular audience. The website caters for those involved in civic society in this postal code area. It will be of particular interest to those voluntary and small-business people active in community affairs.

In February the following issues recorded the most interest on HU12:

Join the Revolution calls the Co-operative – But can we?
This comments on the launch of the Co-op’s new radical corporate  ethical plan. With three co-op outlets in the area then can we all gain from this?

The Big Society Business Plan
There’s been lots of talk about the “Big Society”. Here the Government sets out its plans for this.

Organising a Royal Wedding Street Party
A useful link to the definitive guide for organising a street gala on Royal Wedding day in April.

Councillors and “Hyperlocal” Websites
Local councils have begun to realise that websites like the Hedon Blog just might be very useful! This lists some of those benefits.

Top Council Pay and Consultancy Fees
Freedom of Information requests reveal some very interesting facts that perhaps councils would have liked to have kept hidden!?
