ERYC have confirmed the outcome of the tenders the Council invited for a bus service to replace the service being withdrawn by East Yorkshire Buses. 

The contract has been awarded to East Yorkshire Buses, however the timetable will be significantly different to that currently provided. The new timetable is available via the link above. ERYC have been able to retain an off-peak service, hourly between Elloughton and Gilberdyke, two-hourly between Gilberdyke and Goole, very similar to the current off-peak service. This will operate Monday to Saturday. This is an improvement on the current Saturday service between Gilberdyke and Goole. The new timetable will commence on Monday 11^th April 2022. 

Join our #BigBagChallenge

At Keep Britain Tidy, we believe that every act to protect the environment, no matter how small, makes a difference.  

And so, when hundreds of thousands of #LitterHeroes all join forces and take the same action at the same time, the difference we make is huge.  

Back for its seventh year, our 2022 Great British Spring Clean takes place 25 March – 10 April.  

This year the message is simple. Join our #BigBagChallenge and pledge to pick up as much litter as you can during the campaign.  

You might choose to pick up just one bag, or you could set yourself a #BigBagChallenge like Danny and Jojo, who are collecting a bag of litter every day during Ramadan.  

We’ve got loads of tips and advice to help you get started and cleaning up safely, so whether you’re a litter-picking pro, or this is your first time, join the Great British Spring Clean and pledge to pick up a bag – or more – today.

Residents and representatives of Newport and Gilberdyke Parish Councils are invited to provide an appraisal of the traffic movements and the ongoing management of the site.

The meeting will take place at Newport Primary School. 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. 

The March, Newport Parish Council meeting will commence at 7pm at the same venue – all village residents are welcome.

On 19 January 2022, the Prime Minister confirmed the Plan B measures in place in England will come to an end. That means from 27 January 2022 there will be no requirement to wear face coverings in public indoor spaces. Although face coverings will no longer be mandated, people are still advised to wear them in enclosed or crowded spaces, particularly when meeting strangers.

FIND OUT ABOUT FINANCIAL HELP AVAILABLE TO RESIDENTS

ERYC are here to HELP.

The past 19 months has been a very unsettling time for many residents, with some people
losing their job, furlough support ending and the temporary £20 uplift of universal credit and
tax credits ending. As the winter months are upon us, ERYC want to tell you about help available to residents, which could ease some financial pressures many will be under with the rise in
energy bills.

Please note the deadline for applications is 24th December 2021
