THE HULL MAIL is reporting today that new Humber Enterprise Zone proposals will include sites at Brough, Paull and Preston in the East Riding.
The Hedon Blog reported earlier this month on new plans to develop Hedon Haven as ‘employment land’ and in September on the potential to develop a 80 hectare site near Paull as part of the Enterprise Zone.
The report in the Mail indicates that these developments are now clearly on the agenda. Residents in the town (and those in Preston and Paull) now need more information and need to ensure that they can take full advantage of any benefits that the Enterprise Zone may bring – whilst opposing any measures that might be to the detriment of the area.

VOTING HAS OPENED TODAY in the NatWest bank’s CommunityForce charity initiative – and local projects are asking for your support!
CommunityForce is organised by the NatWest to support local communities. It gives charities, projects and groups an opportunity to promote their work, the chance to access funds and skills as well as volunteers to make a lasting difference in their local communities.
By applying to CommunityForce hundreds of local charities and projects (three from each area) stand to win an award of £6,000 each with the winners decided by public vote and announced in November.
The following good causes are applying for support from this area:
Paull Village Hall is applying for new projection and sound equipment which can be used in the existing hall, and in the new purpose-built centre if their Big Lottery Fund application is successful. Vote at http://communityforce.natwest.com/project/883.
Preston Community Hall would spend the money on improving its toilet and kitchen facilities – without these improvements the Community Hall may face closure! Vote at http://communityforce.natwest.com/project/5389.
Preston Playing Field Charity wants to upgrade its electrical and gas installation so that it can continue being a focal point for community sports and recreation. Vote at http://communityforce.natwest.com/project/5711.
Boyes Lane Public Recreation Ground, Keyingham, hopes to create a pond and wild meadow area that can serve as a haven for wildlife and be enjoyed by the community. Vote at http://communityforce.natwest.com/project/2344.
The Girl Guiding Holderness Division would like to run a division day out, pack holiday and camp, with all its members able to take part, whatever their experience. This can be very costly to the girls and their families, and the Division would like to offer them assistance. Vote at http://communityforce.natwest.com/project/3240.
The Y-us? youth project based in Flinton wish to make a DVD illustrating the first warning signs that young people might have started using drugs. They want to script, film and produce the DVD, then show it to parents in as many schools as possible. Vote at: http://communityforce.natwest.com/project/3068.
VOTING OPENS TODAY on the CommunityForce website, where you’ll be able to view all of the applications made in your local area. If you are unable to access the website to vote, contact the CommunityForce helpline on 0800 2100 246. Customers with hearing and speech impairments can contact us by Minicom number 0800 0155 545.

ENGLISH HERITAGE is the Government’s statutory adviser on the historic environment. They have been sending positive replies to those writing in with concerns about the deterioration of local monument Paull Holme Tower (see Appeal). Below is the reply received by the Hedon Blog:
English Heritage is working with the owner of Paull Holme Tower to explore sustainable uses to secure the future of the monument.
We have been in very positive discussions with the owner and have offered a grant of £27,000 towards the production of a costed condition survey, feasibility study and options appraisal for the site as well as providing some temporary repairs to the building to secure it in the short term.
We have worked with the owner to ensure his grant application meets our funding requirements and conditions one of which requires that the grantee should use a suitably qualified professional adviser – either a conservation accredited architect or Chartered Surveyor and they should have been appointed following a competitive tendering process. English Heritage would not be able to provide grant aid under European rules on any other such basis. It was also felt that all options should be looked at for a future use of the building in order to give the owner a fully informed and considered approach which might be more beneficial to both the owner and monument itself. It is on this basis which we have offered our current grant.
We have discussed with the owner over a number of years the management of vegetation on the monument. Addressing how to undertake this aspect of managing the monument will form part of the current grant application.
