Improvement project for Beverley bridge to begin in April
 An essential project to improve and strengthen the metal Weel Bridge in Beverley is due to get underway in April. The council are to invest £1m in an important scheme to upgrade the 70-year-old bridge, which carries traffic over the River Hull, between Beverley and the village of Weel.
The vital work is scheduled to start on Monday 13 April and will see the entire aluminium structure being removed for a major overhaul. Unavoidably, the removal will mean the closure of the route over the bridge for around 12 weeks, until the bridge is due to be lifted back in place in July.
The household waste recycling site at Weel, which the bridge was used to access from the Beverley direction, will also be closed for the 12-week period. During this time, you can use the nearby household waste recycling sites at Hornsea, Driffield and Humberfield at North Ferriby instead.
Help shape the future of adult social care at an in-person consultation event
 Over the past few months, the council has been gathering feedback on adult social care services through a ‘Have Your Say’ survey which gave you the chance to share your opinions and influence how services are designed and delivered.
In order to strengthen the response there will be a series of in-person consultation events. The events will take place between Monday, 23 and Friday 27 March in Beverley, Goole, Hornsea, Driffield, Withernsea, Haltemprice and Bridlington.
Road improvements in Gilberdyke started this week
 The work began on Wednesday 11 March and is scheduled to take around seven weeks to complete. The council has invested £250,000 to upgrade road surfaces in Hansard Drive, Oaklands and Willow Green in Gilberdyke. During the construction period, roads being worked on will be closed to all through traffic and diversions will be in place.
