East Riding of Yorkshire Council marks 30 years
 This week marks the 30th anniversary of East Riding of Yorkshire Council. The council, which was formed on April 1, 1996 as part of a national programme of local government reorganisation, followed the abolition of Humberside County Council.
Over the years the council has invested millions of pounds to reshape infrastructure to support residents, communities and businesses.
Bridlington and South East Holderness residents encouraged to get involved in £20 million regeneration efforts
 Announced in September 2025, the Pride in Place Programme will provide up to £19.6 million each for two areas in the East Riding of Yorkshire - Bridlington West and Withernsea East & Patrington.
Residents from Bridlington and South East Holderness are encouraged to take part in an online engagement, helping to identify the priorities and opportunities that matter most to their communities.
