Kirk Ella Relief in Need |
A Message From Your Chairman And Vice-Chairman The annual parish report was distributed to every household in Kirk Ella and West Ella at the end of april and considered a huge success. The annual parish meeting took place on Wednesday 19th May in West Ella methodist church hall. Our thanks to the police for sending a representative to explain the reduction in the crime figures for the two villages. This was partly due to the hard work of the local police and partly due to the great success of the westellagrapevine through which jean harne and phil williamson pass on messages from the police and raise awareness of dubious activity in the area. We would like to remind you that the police telephone number for our region is 0845 6060222. This number must be called for an incident to be logged. The police carry a mobile at all times and the number is 07966 965778 and if they are in the vicinity they will try to attend your call. PC Dave philips is hoping to put on diversionary activities during the summer holidays for youths of the haltemprice area and was appealing for funds from outside the police budget to do this. The parish council has also had a request for funds for a self defence course for residents in the area. Unfortunately our precept has already been set for this year and carefully costed so we are not able to make donations of your tax money to these worthy causes at the present time. If anyone knows of an individual or private company willing to sponsor either of these proposed ventures please contact our parish clerk or a parish councillor. However, we do contribute to the local skatepark for the youth of our region as this continues to be included in our budget. Our annual accounts for the year 2009-2010 have been completed and now audited. They are available to view at parish council meetings. Our clerk, mandy, has also reclaimed v.a.t. On all possible receipts and payments. The information boards about the heritage trail and the previous Willerby railway station were removed from the side of the public toilets at Willerby square when the rebuilding began. Councillors Margaret and Stan Raymond had a discussion with the builder as to where they should be positioned when the building was completed. They are hoping we will all be able to see them on display again soon. Dog owners in our villages are responsible citizens who clean the pavements of their dogs’ excrement. However, councillor Liz Robinson has had complaints regarding the King George V playing field. This is not only used by dog walkers but we ask you to please consider other users such as the footballers, children playing games and adult supporters. She would like us to remind you to help keep this area clean for all users. The east riding of yorkshire council is also keeping a watchful eye on the situation. Lastly, to end on a happy note by saying that the wolfreton golden reunion, advertised on our events page was an extremely happy and memorable event. It was attended by councillor Margaret Raymond who ‘qualified’ as both a past member of the teaching staff and the youth centre staff. Our congratulations and grateful thanks to the very hard working organisers on a most successful occasion. Councillors Frank Holmes
and Margaret Raymond |
