Attempted Burglary – Co-op petrol station

HUMBERSIDE POLICE are investigating an attempted burglary that happened at the Co-op filling station in Hull Road, Hedon between 3:10am and 3:26am on Sunday 19th February 2012.

Two suspects entered the forecourt of the closed filling station on either a low powered motorcycle or moped. Neither suspect was wearing a crash helmet. They approached the front security shutters of the premises and forced both security shutters causing extensive damage to both. They then attempted to force the secure glass electric door which caused the door to open slightly.

The alarm was activated and both suspects made off in an unknown direction on the motorcycle without having gained entry to the station.

The damage to the filling station is expected to cost more than £3,000 to repair.

Police are appealing for anyone with information or witnesses to contact the police on the non-emergency telephone number 101 referring to log number 114 of 19th February, or alternatively call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Paull Holme Tower Open Weekend – Thanks and URGENT APPEAL from the owners

THE OWNERS of our local historic monument Paull Holme Tower have sent us this letter of thanks – and an appeal for your help:

“The tower must be saved”

THANK YOU for coming to visit the tower last weekend (10th/11th September) I hope it more than lived up to your expectations.

Paull Holme Tower1It has been very frustrating all these years not being able to welcome the public to look around and share our enthusiasm for what is a fantastic little building, full of history and quite unique in the area. Time and time again you said “The tower must be saved”.

Paull Holme Tower is not a stately home that would cost millions to save, we are looking at a small but unique brick building that could easily be brought back into public life. The potential for Paull Holme Tower is enormous there are lots of options, a place to stay, wedding venue, visitor attraction and I am sure you could think of many others.

None of these things can happen unless the tower is saved from slowly rotting to death.

Many of you expressed a wish to help saving the tower which is excellent and such refreshing news after 20 years trying on our own, and failing. You can help very easily, this is a local project that you can get involved with and make a real difference.
