Firstly, I would like to thank the outgoing Chairman, Cllr. Ian Jackson for everything he has done for our parish. When I joined the council 2½ years ago I found him to be very supportive of new ideas and always listened to other points of view. I know that he will be a hard act to follow. I have worked within the public service for thirty years, starting with the old Humberside County Council, and until three years ago I was a senior officer with Humberside Fire and Rescue Service. Whilst there, I gained experience in a variety of management roles, ending my career with them as Senior Personnel Officer. When I joined Thorngumbald, Camerton and Ryehill Parish Council my intention was to be actively involved in matters that affect local communities and has remained so, as a parish councillor. With an interest in the internet, I was asked if I would set up a website so that more people within the parish would know what the council do, and to provide access to agendas and minutes of the council, taking account of the online generation. I still maintain the parish website and keep it up to date with current events. I also realised that our parish did not have a current emergency plan in place so I asked if I could formulate a plan, and again I received support from Cllr. Jackson and also from the Parish Clerk, Avril Russell. The plan is to help to minimise disruption caused to people within our parish should we be unfortunate enough to experience an emergency such as severe weather, or any kind of situation which would disrupt our day-to-day lives and which we cannot avoid. As a result of this we have measures in place and we also have an Emergency Team, each with designated responsibilities should such a situation occur. I am very pleased to support the Gala and Scarecrow Trail committee and can’t wait to see all the wonderful scarecrows on view and the entries in the Village Show. The Friends of Ryehill Village Hall, who are trying to raise funds to renovate the hall to its former glory, will also have my continued support. To both of these groups I wish every success. I aim to do my best to justify the faith placed in me as the new Chair of Thorngumbald, Camerton and Ryehill Parish Council.

To Resolve: ERYC – Draft Local Plan Consultation – the latest edition of the plan shows that, apart from the 13 dwellings already benefiting from planning approval, there are no further allocations to be approved. This is based on current evidence regarding the level of flood risk in Thorngumbald. The plan also shows that the 11 sites that were made available have been rejected as not been suitable based on the current evidence regarding flood risk in the village.
