Re: A63/M62 junction 38 lighting upgrades 

We’re getting in touch to let you know that we’ll be renewing steel lighting columns and upgrading roadside lighting in your area to LED.

LED lighting benefits road users and the environment alike. It uses less power, produces lower carbon emissions and lasts longer, as well as reducing the need for future maintenance.  

• Where? We will be carrying out these important improvements on the westbound exit slip road at the A63/M62 junction 38 (North Cave). 
• When? Weeknights (Monday-Friday) between 10 August and 14 September 2026. The work will be carried out between 8pm and 6am. 

We will not be working on the Bank Holiday Monday (31 August). 

How will this affect me? 

To carry this out safely, we will need to close the A63/M62 westbound exit slip every weeknight while we work on this section. 

Motorists wishing to exit the A63/M62 westbound at North Cave will be diverted on the M62 westbound to junction 37(Howden) before being directed back to the junction 38 eastbound exit.  

We have written to residents and businesses close to the slip road to inform them of access arrangements while this work is ongoing.

We have done all we can to minimise disruption, however we apologise for any inconvenience caused. 

Please note, this work is weather dependent, and closure dates may change at short notice.  

If you have any questions or concerns you can get in touch via the following channels: 

Telephone: 0300 123 5000 

Email: info@nationalhighways.co.uk 

We will also share information on our website: https://nationalhighways.co.uk/our-roads/yorkshire-and-north-east/yorkshire-and-north-east-maintenance-schemes

National Highways are carrying out a series of improvements to the M62 in East Yorkshire. 

They are carrying out safety improvements by refreshing road markings and studs in both directions between junctions 37 (Howden) and 38 (North Cave), as well as on slip roads at both junctions. 

They will begin work on the westbound carriageway first before moving to the eastbound. 

To keep drivers and the workforce safe, they will need overnight full closures on the M62 westbound between junctions 38 and 37 (Monday-Friday, 8pm-6am) on these dates between 20 July and 7 August.  

They will also be working on the eastbound carriageway between 10 August and 27 August under lane closures only. 

Diversions 

Motorists travelling westbound will be diverted from the M62 junction 38 via: 

• A63 
• A1034 
• A1079 
• A614 
• Then back to the M62 junction 37. 

Diversion  

This route is agreed with the local authority and is suitable for all vehicles including HGVs. Please note, the M62 junction 38 exit slip at North Cave has a 7.5tonne weight limit and has not been included within the diversion route. 

They advise motorists to plan ahead and allow more time for their journey.  

Please note, all closures are subject to change at short notice, depending on progress, operational requirements and weather conditions.

They apologise for any inconvenience caused during the closures and will aim to complete the work as soon as they can.

Further details will be shared at https://nationalhighways.co.uk/our-roads/yorkshire-and-north-east/yorkshire-and-north-east-maintenance-schemes/

Updates will also be posted on our social media channels: National Highways: Yorkshire Facebook page and on X via @HighwaysYORKS.

The next Newport Parish Council meeting is at Newport Primary School (The Hall entrance) at 7pm on Tuesday 14th July 2026 – all village residents are welcome. Access to the meeting room is through the main gate on the Village Hall side of the school and to the rear of the building.    

Public Forum – The Public Forum will commence at 7.00pm. The period designated for public participation shall not exceed 15 minutes. Each member of the public may only speak once and for no longer than 3 minutes.

The Agenda and Meeting Pack is available via the following link.

North Humber to High Marnham is a proposed new 90 kilometre high voltage overhead line which would carry more power to homes and businesses.
As part of The Great Grid Upgrade, we are reinforcing the electricity network across East Yorkshire, North Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire. More electricity is being generated from renewable sources, often in different parts of the country from where it is used. To support the movement of electricity to where it is needed and meet future demand, the electricity network needs upgrading.
Our plans involve building a new overhead line between a substation just outside of Hull and a substation at High Marnham,near Newark. This will help to connect secure, cleaner and more affordable home-grown energy to where it is needed.

The newsletter includes updates on several topics:

• an overview of the feedback we received to our recent Community Fund survey
• an update on environmental and technical surveys (including surveys we are due to carry out in the coming months)
• an update on targeted landowner consultations that have been taking place
• recent community engagement
• next steps in the Development Consent Order (DCO) process.

You can view the latest project information on the North Humber to High Marnham project website.
If you, or anyone in your community, have any questions about the project, please contact the community relations team by:
• emailing contact@nh-hm.nationalgrid.com;
• calling 0808 189 1346; or
• writing to Freepost NH TO HM (no stamp required).

A Community garden is a shared green space where individuals or groups collectively cultivate plants, such as fruits, vegetables, flowers, and herbs, fostering social connection, education, and environmental stewardship.

Community gardens provide numerous advantages, including:

• Food security:  Access to fresh, locally grown produce.
• Health and Wellbeing: Gardening promotes physical activity, reduces stress, and improves mental health.
• Environmental Impact: They enhance biodiversity and promote sustainable practices.
• Community Development: Strengthen neighborhood bonds, encourage volunteerism, and create inclusive spaces for cultural exchange.

If you would like to express an interest in using public spaces in the Newport for gardening please send your comments via the contact form  https://newportpc.org.uk/contact-us/  for future consideration by Newport Parish Council,

Please find attached the latest position statement in relation to Goole and District Hospital.

NHS Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) recently approved permanent 7am-8pm opening hours at Bridlington and Goole Urgent Treatment Centres (UTCs).

The decision followed extensive public engagement last year involving more than 1,200 residents, alongside a comprehensive review of clinical evidence, demand patterns and workforce pressures.

As part of the decision-making process, the ICB made a commitment to respond directly to feedback from local people – particularly around the need for clearer, more accessible information about urgent care services and how to navigate them.

To support this, they have developed the attached communications toolkit. This resource is designed to help you share consistent, easy-to-understand information with your audiences, including:

• The role of UTCs and what they treat
• The difference between UTCs and Emergency Departments (A&E)
• The range of options available for urgent care, including NHS 111
• Key messages to help the public access the right care, first time
