Jenny Lamming and Alison Lister would like to thank the people of Newport for unbelievable support and kind donations for the Ukraine collection.

The amount collected was over a few days and even over the deadline. The donations went to collection points in Hook, Hull, and Sheffield.  The collections all arrived safely.

Thank you to all who donated

Cllr Jenny Lamming
Newport Parish Council

Residents are warmly invited to attend the Newport Annual Parish Meeting to be held on Tuesday 10th May 2022 at Newport Primary School (The Hall entrance) at 6pm – all village residents are welcome.

Individuals from each of the Newport Community Groups will have the opportunity to share with local residents details of the activities undertaken by their group over the last year and planned for the coming year. I have included some further information 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))

The Newport Annual Council Meeting will take place on the same evening starting at 7.15pm.

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. Please see Appendix 1 below for further information.

A modern and vibrant website has been designed to help keep residents independent in their homes longer and to improve the customer experience when seeking information about adult social care. For more information or to view the new website and give feedback, visit or email yourlifeyourway@eastriding.gov.uk

Your Life, Your Way – Home (yourlifeyourway.uk)

Adult social care is changing the way the council offers support and advice and a new operating model is being delivered through Your Life, Your Way, a programme designed to drive the best outcomes for residents and ensure the right support is delivered at the right time. It will also enable the council to manage demand within the system whilst effectively managing resources across adult social care for the people who need them.

Finding the right advice and information is also important for individuals who care for a relative or friend and it is recognised that East Riding carers also need timely and bespoke information in order to support them in their caring role.

Councillor Kerri Harold, portfolio holder for adult and carer services at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “We have developed the new website to provide early information, advice about community support and services and how to get help from the council.

“It promotes choice and control and helping people to maximise their strengths and live their life well.

“The website will also provide information and self-help tools that residents regularly ask our front-line and customer service teams for, therefore reducing the number of contacts we receive regarding requests for information and signposting.

“Providing this through our newly-designed website aims for a better customer experience and to ensure our assessment teams are focussing on those individuals who have eligible care and support needs.

“So we are simply improving our pathways to help residents to access information about adult social care and to determine what support they may need – whether it’s preventative or longer-term support.

“We would really like to receive your feedback so we can continuously improve this new and exciting resource.”

It is hoped residents will find the website user-friendly, easy to navigate and that it promotes better understanding of the options available to the and reinforces the council’s prevention and early intervention offer, strengthening the council’s duties under the Care Act 2014 to provide information and advice to local residents.

The website is in what’s called the ‘Beta’ phase at the moment; this means it is live and can be tested to gather feedback from residents to improve it further.

Adult social care’s new website includes more online tools that residents can use, such as a financial calculator and a community directory of support services.

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.
