THE VISIT of the family of reindeer to Preston, Paull, Bilton and Hedon, arranged by Vivergo Fuels over the last two days, attracted families from across the wider area. In case you missed them – here are a few pictures:

Reindeer Christmas Visit

WHILE DANCER, PRANCER & Co are getting ready for Christmas, another special family of reindeer will be visiting Hedon on Saturday 10th December 2011.

Vivergo Fuels and the Town Council have arranged for the reindeer to visit Market Hill at 1:30pm on Saturday 10th December as a real pre-Christmas treat and event for all the family! A stall will be set up giving away festive mince pies and mulled wine!

This looks likely to be a fantastic event and a marvellous opportunity for children to see the real animals that now symbolise Christmas and Father Christmas!

All this talk about reindeer prompts that old quiz question: Now what are the names of Santa’s reindeer…? 1. Prancer, 2. Dancer, 3. Dasher,… I always get stuck at this point!

Anyone help?

NOTE: Before visiting Hedon our family of reindeer will also be spreading their Christmas cheer in Preston and Paull, on Friday 9th December, and in Bilton also on the 10th December, see HU12 Online…

They are provided here for resident’s information and interest and reveal the variety of issues dealt with by the Council:

Flooding Issues: A meeting took place between East Riding Councillors, Hedon Town Councillors and members of local drainage boards to discuss flooding issues and funding following the Environment Agency (EA) spending £160,000 on a dredging study whereby they agreed it would be beneficial to dredge Burstwick Drain.

The EA stated they could not fully fund this operation as the dredging has land drainage improvement implications for which they are not responsible. They have offered to put £30,000 in the pot every 5 years to cover dredging both Burstwick Drain and Stoney Creek outlets, but the remaining £40,000 – £50,000 needs to come from others.
