We are in discussions with Asset Strategy, a team within the Council who determine our utility prices by liaising with our suppliers. The unit prices for metered electricity is still to be finalised.
As in previous years our pricing is determined by taking the average price from all the price increases/decreases over the course of the 12 months. Last year this figure was 19 pence per unit.
As your meters were read last year on 23rd November they will be read this year at the same time. This means that an average price per unit will be determined from the fluctuations in pricing per unit from this date to when they are read this year. We expect the figure to fall within 29 pence – 34 pence per unit. Please remember we cannot make profit on electricity.
The price for LPG Metered Gas (J, V Section and Lodges) will be £2.75 per unit, a 40% increase.
As you are aware prices for 47kg Propane Gas Bottles increased in April this year to £75 per bottle. Currently there are no proposed increases, however this is determined by the supplier and is reviewed regularly within line with the current market.
We are pleased to announce South Cliff Holiday Park submitted an improving roads request and we have been awarded £88,000. This will be spent resurfacing the following areas on park, J Section, 8 Acre Section, B Section and F Section and the main access road by the Maintenance Yard. Two additional speed bumps will also be installed on K Section Road.
This work will be undertaken by East Riding of Yorkshire Council Highways Team and the work is expected to begin the first week in December, taking approximately 2 weeks to complete.

It will be an opportunity to come and enjoy the woods on a free - flowing walk, lit up with stunning displays of colour, and to see what the woodland elves get up to outside of the toymakers’ workshop – playing, crafting, and dancing with the reindeer.
The house itself will be filled with Christmas decorations, lights and trees, and the cheeky elves will be hiding in the rooms. There will also be a new exhibition in the house, ‘Elves – not just for Christmas’.
There will be an all new spectacular display of lights, sounds and special effects will bring the grounds to life for a great evening out this festive season.
The hugely popular Sewerby Winter Woodland will return to Sewerby Hall and Gardens this Christmas, from 9 – 23 December.
