Local Nature Recovery Strategy
The Local Nature Recovery Strategy addresses nature loss in Hull and East Yorkshire and will guide efforts to restore it, benefiting people, the economy and the environment. It also supports climate change and protects species at risk of extinction.
East Riding of Yorkshire Council are asking for your input - whether you're a resident, farmer, business owner or nature lover. Let them know your priorities, actions and places for nature recovery to help make the strategy reflect the region’s diverse needs.
The consultation will close on the 22 June 2025, and you can find out more here.

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.
