Commemorative Tree
The Parish Council are intending to plant a Commemorative Tree as a permanent reminder of the D Day, VE Day and VJ Day commemorations that have taken place over the last 18 months.
Having consulted with the adjacent landowner, we're proposing to plant the tree in the location shown by the What3Words black square towards the top of the map. Here's the link to the location on What3Words.
The proposed location shouldn't hamper the seasonal grasscutting by ERYC. If you happen to be passing by, look out for a plastic stake with a ribbon to indicate the location.
We are also hoping to hold an event to mark the planting of the tree.
If you have any comments about the proposed location, or if you would like to attend the event, please get in touch by e-mail or by using the Contact Us page.

Damage to Grass Verges
We will be reporting a number of damaged grass verges to East Riding of Yorkshire Council for repair. Please contact us via e-mail or via the Contact Us page if you see any other damaged verges and we'll be more than happy to report them for you.
Please note: East Riding of Yorkshire Council have advised the Parish Council that residents should not place rocks, bollards or similar items on grass verges to prevent damage as doing so hinders the summer grass cutting and may leave property owners liable should damage be caused to passing vehicles.
