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

Work Pattern  Tuesday to Friday  

Residents are warmly invited to attend the Annual Parish meeting to be held on Tuesday 12th May 2026 at 6pm at Newport Primary School (The Hall entrance through the green gates to the side of the school) when Village Groups will have the opportunity to share with local resident’s and the Parish Council details of the activities undertaken by their group over the last year and planned for the coming year. Information is included below with regards to the relevant legislation. This meeting only hears and meets the business of the electors.

The Annual Parish meeting is a meeting held of the electors. Local Government Act 1972 14 (1) states the Parish meeting of a parish shall assemble annually on some day between the 1st March and the 1st June. It is not a Council meeting, it does not act on issues or items of the Parish Council. Only electors on the electoral register can vote on any item at this meeting.

The Agenda has to be sent out with 7 working days’ notice is chaired by the chairman of the Parish Council. The parish having a separate Parish Council means that the chairman of the Parish Council shall preside. (Local Government Act 1972 16 & 17 (1) & (2)) A question can be asked by the voters or a poll called. (Local Government Act 1972 18 (1-6))

Following this meeting the Annual Meeting of the Parish Council will take place starting at 7pm.

The agenda for both meetings will be available via this link.

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

Since March 2022, the two UTCs have been open from 7am to 8pm, rather than 7am-11pm.

The reduced hours were introduced because of sustained low demand in late evenings, and staffing pressures.

Prior to the “temporary hours” being brought in, both UTCs had seen very low attendance after 8pm – typically around 10 patients per week between them.

The decision to make the revised opening hours permanent follows public engagement last year involving more than 1,200 residents, alongside a comprehensive review of clinical evidence, demand patterns and workforce pressures.
