Storm Isha

Storm Isha is forecast to bring strong winds to the region from Sunday afternoon into Monday.

Please take care when you are out and about, especially near cliff edges, and plan ahead with any travel arrangements as road and rail networks may be affected by high winds.

If you are aware of a fallen tree or dangerous branch you can report it via our website.

However if it is an emergency and a tree or branch is blocking a road or could potentially cause danger to life please call (01482) 393939.

Exceptionally wet weather causes delays to two roundabout schemes

Two major roundabout improvement schemes in the East Riding have had to be unavoidably delayed because of the exceptionally wet weather.

The upgrade to the A164 Willerby roundabout scheme and the creation of a new roundabout at the A63/Welton Road Brough junction have both suffered from heavy rainfall over the autumn and winter months, making working conditions extremely difficult.

Therefore, East Riding of Yorkshire Council wants to make the public aware that both projects will now be delayed by two to three months, however work will continue to be carried out on each site.

Clean Air Night highlights harms of wood burning

East Riding of Yorkshire Council is supporting the Global Action Plan which is highlighting the harms caused by wood burning.
Clean Air Night takes place on Wednesday 24 January and shines a light on the uncomfortable truths about wood burning.Most people in the UK don't know that wood burning is bad for our health and for the environment.

Wood burning-

Harms your wallet - It is almost always more expensive than other forms of heating
Harms your health - Lighting fires in our homes is the largest source of harmful small particle air pollution in the UK
Harms the planet - wood burning creates CO2 emissions and we cannot reproduce trees fast enough to offset the CO2 emitted by burning wood

Household Support Fund

One week left to apply for the Household support fund. So far we've helped hundreds of residents across the East Riding who's income fell under £33k.

Here’s what Karen had to say about the support she received…

"The Household Support Fund payment was a lifesaver when I needed it most. Managing energy bills, especially during peak seasons, was a challenge, but this support lightened the load. Even though I work, my household income is relatively low, so the fund is a big help."

You could be eligible too. Apply before 26 January 2024.

Healthy Homes

The Healthy Homes scheme can provide money to help with the cost of repairing or replacing your household's heating system.

The scheme is available for both owner occupiers, and private tenants who are responsible for repairing the property's heating system.
