GREEN PORT HULL at Alexandra Dock (No.1 on the image) has been earmarked as the base of operations for the production of wind turbines as part of the wider Humber Enterprise Zone area (North bank).
There are opportunities to find out more about the Green Port Hull proposals at a series of mobile exhibitions to be held in Hull over the next few days.

COMMUNITY GROUPS in the area might want to note that two small grant schemes are available to support projects and initiatives – but deadlines for the next rounds are fast approaching! See the articles on HU12:
Community and voluntary organisations from across the East Riding can apply for up to £1,000 grant from the Hull City Health Care Partnership Small ‘Health’ Grants Programme. The deadline for the next round of applications is Thursday 1st September.
Grants of up to £500 are available as part of the KC Community Grants programme – the deadline is Friday 2nd September 2011.
ON SATURDAY 3rd SEPTEMBER 2011 local people are being asked to support two events on our Day of Action against the smells from the Yorkshire Water Waste Water Treatment Works at Saltend.
The Paull Car Boot Sale is probably the best and most picturesque of any such event held in the area. There is always a community feel to the Paull Car Boot Sale, and the proceeds go towards supporting the local St Andrew Church in the village.
We are inviting people from the village and visitors to join us at the Paull Car Boot Sale at 9:00am to stand and join with us in opposition to Yorkshire Water’s stink.
After allowing time for those who wish to enjoy the attractions of Paull’s Car Boot Sale, an event will also be held later in the Hedon Market Place at 12:00 noon.
At both events (lasting no more than 30 minutes) we will be asking people to write down their comments about their experience of the smells on post-it notes, which will be added to a Wall of Shame and will be presented to Yorkshire Water at a later stage. Our campaigning skunk mascot will be there he is called PONGO – because we want the Pong to Go!
Please help spread the word! Come and join us on our Day of Action on Saturday 3rd September! Bring Placards and Banners!
HEDON IS A PLACE OF AMBITIONS! We want to celebrate and build upon our history and heritage and create an even better place for people to live, work and visit!
We have an active community of groups and individuals that are striving to improve the quality and enjoyment of life for all its residents. Hedon residents have great ideas about transforming the town; its shopping and leisure experience – whilst preserving its character and opposing inappropriate development. Hedon even harbours a great ambition to bring water back to the Haven!
Hedon has the talent, the ideas and the imagination to take us into a positive future… We have lots to look forward to…
THIS VIEW FROM A CAB OF A DIESEL TRAIN travelling the Withernsea to Hull route is a nostalgic delight! Taken in 1957 the whole journey is speeded up to take just over 4 minutes. Expect to see Hedon about 1:45 in – but don’t blink!
This video was found on YouTube by Justin Macartney of Seaside FM 105.3 and shows perhaps one of the first journeys by a diesel engine following British Rail’s ‘dieselisation’ from 1955 onwards.
The Hull and Holderness passenger service was closed following the Beeching report (published in 1963) and the last passenger train ran on 19th October 1964. See Wikipedia for more information
HUMBERSIDE POLICE are warning anyone using off-road motorcycles or quad bikes on the disused railway line between Hull and Keyingham that they may face criminal proceedings.
Police have received complaints in relation to youths using motorcycles and quad bikes on the track, particularly in the Hariff Lane area of Burstwick, and have stepped up high visibility patrols in the area.
PC Will Stephenson from the Mid-Holderness Neighbourhood Policing Team is issuing a warning to anyone who frequents the track illegally. PC Stephenson said:
“The people that use the track for off-road biking not only cause a great deal of annoyance to residents, but they also present a significant danger to the public and cause damage to the countryside. Often, the vehicles used are not road legal, and in some cases not safe to be ridden – meaning the rider is putting themselves at risk of injury too. Police Officers and PCSOs are able to take positive action to tackle this type of anti-social behaviour by using effective powers such as the on-the-spot seizure of offending motorcycles. We are all prepared to take the necessary steps to protect the public, the countryside and the rights of way network in our area against this illegal activity. We are keen to work with the community to solve this issue, so please report any incidents or concerns to your local officers so that appropriate action can be taken.”
Over the last few months officers from the Neighbourhood Team have recovered a number of stolen motorcycles from stop checks done in the area. They have also issued warnings following the anti-social use of motorcycles and issued letters to the perpetrators.
Anyone who may be able to help police with their enquiries is asked to call Humberside Police tel 0845 60 60 222.

TWENTY TWO STREET PARTIES to celebrate the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton have been planned in East Yorkshire according to the East Riding Council.
The deadline for those wishing to organise a street party for the Friday 29th April, passed last Friday, and the Council has confirmed that it has received only 22 applications and none of these are from Holderness.
It is possible that some parties will be taking place that do not require road and street closures (inside community centres and other venues, private roads and car-parks, etc), however 22 does seem to be a surprisingly small number.
In Hull the number of street parties taking place is even lower with only 10 currently being formally organised (the deadline for applications in Hull is April 11th, so still time for this figure to improve).
Locally, then the only Royal Wedding celebration taking place in Hedon is the Gala being organised at The Station Pub. Jackie at the pub has reminded people that there are only 5-weeks to go before the celebration and is encouraging people to give their ideas on making the Gala a truly memorable celebration.
Do you have any Royal Wedding party news? Let us know at e-mail hedonblog@gmx.com
