Fraud Watch
Fraud comes in many different forms, and
absolutely anyone can become a victim.
Fraudsters aim to trick individuals
into giving away cash, bank details or other personal information;
this is done by them contacting thousands of random people. www.fraudwatch.org.uk |

| Dog Fouling
A general reminder to all dog walkers that
they have to clean up after their dog, whatever the weather or
leaf or snow cover. The same applies to the hours of darkness
- you need a torch. There are plenty of litter bins throughout
the Parish, so please pick it up. When the children are encouraged
to walk to school it is only fair that dog mess is picked up.
East Riding of Yorkshire Council
has issued Fixed Penalty Notices in Kirk Ella for failure to clear
up after a dog has fouled.
If any resident
can identify a dog walker who does not clean up, with the time
and place, they should report it to ERYC, and the dog warden will
try to visit the area. We have some stickers and will be affixing
these to the lamp posts around Pine. Meadows. If any resident
knows of other areas where more stickers are needed, please let
us know. When the pavement is dry, we will use the Parish Council
stencil and spray paint but it is not suitable in wet and cold
weather. Liz and Tom

| A Message
from your Chairman
|
You will be pleased to know that your Parish Council has resumed its’
monthly meetings after the suspension caused by COVID. The councillors
are once again meeting in the dining hall at St. Andrew’s Kirk
Ella School at 7pm on the second Monday of the month and residents of
Kirk Ella and West Ella may attend if they so wish.
We have many projects and suggestions in the pipeline and things that
have been delayed because of the pandemic are now moving. There has
been a meeting with a representative of the ERYC regarding the position
of our replacement village sign near Papas fish restaurant. The old
one was knocked down some time ago by a lorry, we think, and now we
have a new one ready to replace it. Councillors have also met with the
ERYC Highways official regarding the new notice board for West Hill
development and the new information board that Cllr. David Robinson
has been working on. The position of the new seat, an extra, for the
King George playing field that Cllr. Elizabeth Robinson suggested some
time ago has been agreed, so that has been ordered and will soon be
in place. Responsibility for lighting in our area is split between County
and Parish depending on whether it is footway or highway. Cllr. Shaun
Horton has been in contact with the expert at County Hall and a decision
has been made for adjustments to the Elms Drive street lighting. Also
of concern, with the approach of dark nights, is the lighting in the
snicket, used by the Primary School children, between West Ella Road
& South Ella Way. Cllr. Neil Oakes had a site meeting with the electrician
over a month ago re. the possible position of an extra light. Cllr.
Elizabeth Robinson has again ordered some daffodil bulbs to enhance
the area in the spring. We are hoping to have some of these planted
in the area of West Hill and the new housing development.
Our timetable for the future is also very busy. We have ordered the
poppy wreaths for Remembrance Sunday. The plans for the switch on of
the village lights at Christmas, organised by Cllr. Doreen Kaye and
Mandy, our Parish Clerk are almost complete with the tree being ordered
and the Junior School Choir being booked. It is usual for the Head Boy
and Head Girl of Wolfreton Senior School to do the honours for us on
the last Saturday in November, and supportive parents, parents, friends
and villagers to support are almost complete
Lastly, one project where we need your suggestions and help is the
celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee next June. We understand
festivities will be extended over the whole weekend in honour of Her
Majesty’s 70 years on the throne and we don’t want you to
miss out. Please email or post your ideas to our Parish Clerk a.s.a.p.
so that we can start to plan
Many thanks,
Margaret
