THE PUBLIC HEARINGS into the proposed boundary changes take place today and tomorrow (24th/25th October 2011) at Hull City Hall.
See the Boundary Commission website for details at Public Hearings, Hull for details and a draft timetable.
For some background information visit HU12 at Boundaries Debate.
Tomorrow should be particularly interesting when between 1pm and 2:30pm Karl Turner MP (for East Hull) and Graham Stuart MP (Beverley & Holderness) will both be speaking.

GRAHAM STUART MP says he was shocked by the changes to Parliamentary
constituency boundaries proposed by the Boundary Commission for England.
In a news statement issued today the Beverley and Holderness MP says he is particularly concerned about plans to include Hedon in a largely urban constituency around the city of Hull.
The MP said, “I know we all expected some changes to our constituencies, but what we got was far more radical, and, to my mind, unnecessary. I strongly oppose bringing South West Holderness into Kingston upon Hull East. It is not a natural fit and the Boundary Commission needs to rethink its recommendation.”
He concluded, “I am interested in finding out more about what my constituents think about the Boundary Review. Just from what I have heard today, I think people will have strong views on the matter.”

Background: Proposals that Hedon joins East Hull constituency on the Hedon Blog.
UNDER PROPOSALS published today by the Boundary Commission for England (BCE) then the South West Holderness Ward (Hedon, Preston, Paull, etc) would be included in the Kingston Upon Hull East constituency for Parliamentary elections from 2015 (when the next General Election will be held).

Paull fields - Possible development site for Enterprise Zone?
THE HUMBER LEP (Local Enterprise Partnership) has published maps of the Humber Enterprise Zone. These latest charts list the 80 hectare site near Paull as a “Reserve Site” (No 4 on the map).
The LEP told us via its temporary website what this means:
“The reserve site was included in case it wasn’t possible to have one of the other sites ready in time (to benefit from the Enterprise Zone tax breaks, companies must begin occupying by April 2015). At the moment, unless there are problems with one of the other sites, it won’t be included in the Enterprise Zone. However, it is still there for development.”
Whilst this news means that it is less likely that the Humber Enterprise Zone will be developed as close to Paull as previously thought, it does not diminish the case for the village (plus Hedon, Preston and the whole South West Holderness area) being fully prepared to take advantage of any benefits that the Enterprise Zone may bring.
A suggestion has been made on Twitter (by James Baron) that a working group is established to ensure that the area is in the best possible position to grasp any opportunities available through the Enterprise Zone – to make sure that local communities and businesses can benefit.
This would seem to be a very sensible and pro-active proposal. What do Blog readers think?
WOULD YOU FIND a JOB SEEKERS PAGE useful on the HU12 website?
This might be of interest to those residents locally who are seeking work, and also provide a low-cost service to local employers seeking staff?
For example the following local jobs have been notified in the area this week:

MIKE BRYAN and JOHN DENNIS were elected as our new Conservative Councillors for the East Riding on the 5th May.
They have sent the following message to supporters:
“We’d like to say a sincere thank you to all those willing volunteers who delivered thousands of leaflets around the Ward on our behalf and to say that without them, South West Holderness would probably still not have a Conservative Councillor representing them, and of course many thanks too to all those who voted for us on the day.”
