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.
