    HUMBER BRIDGE STRATEGIC PLAN 1 APRIL 2018 - 31 MARCH 2021 Contents PAGE 1. Executive Summary 2 2. Strategic Overview 3 - 8 3. Mission Statement 9 - 11 4. Strategic Objectives 12 – 17 5. Staffing 18 - 20 6. Finance 21 - 24 7. The Future 25 1 1. Executive Summary The Humber Bridge has been a highly successful toll bridge and a key part of the transport infrastructure of the Humber region, since it opened in 1981. From 1981 to 1998 the Humber Bridge was the longest single span bridge in the world, making it a global icon of British engineering achievement. It remains the longest bridge in the world that you can cycle and walk across. It is a bridge that can be enjoyed at leisure, not purely as the quickest route across the Humber Estuary. Our aim over the next three years is to build on this success. We are ‘creating the best bridge experience in the world’. The Humber Bridge will offer the best bridge experience in the world to all our customers, whether crossing the Bridge by motorised vehicles, bicycles and on foot, or visiting the Bridge as a tourist attraction. We will continue to ensure and improve a safe and sustainable crossing for all our users. We will also aim to enable visitors to explore the Humber Bridge as a world-class visitor attraction. Our strategic objectives for 2018 to 2021 are to: 1. Improve the experience of customers, while maintaining the tolls at current prices 2. Maximise and diversify our income and minimise our expenditure 3. Develop a world class visitor experience This Strategic Plan is structured as follows.

  • C DPM Records of Hull Magistrates Court C.1836-1995
    Hull History Centre: Records of Hull Magistrates Court C DPM Records of Hull Magistrates Court c.1836-1995 Historical background: Magistrates courts are the lowest level of courts in Enlgand, and is where alomst all criminal proceedings start. Hull was first granted the right to appoint its own magistrates, also known as Justices of the Peace (JPs), to deal with the summary cases, in 1440. More serious offences or indictable crimes would be passed to the quarter sessions or to the county assize, for capital cases. Despite the abolition of the old municipal corporation in 1836, the reformed borough was still able to select its own magistrates and hold its own courts, sometimes also known as police courts or petty sessions. This system continued until the reforms of the 1971 Courts Act, where the magistrate’s courts remained at lowest level, with the quarter sessions replaced by crown courts. The magistrate’s courts could also hear some civil cases, when county courts were established under the County Court Act 1846. They had jurisdiction over the recovery of debts and civil actions up to certain financial limits, including bankruptcy. Custodial History: The first group of records transferred to the City Archives were selected by the Clerk to the Magistrates at the Hull and Holderness Magistrates Courts in 1986, with another series of licensing records, C DPM/24 and C DPM/43-44, transferred in September 1993. C DPM/47 was transferred in January 2008 from the Hull County Court. C DPM/5/10- 12, C DPM/7/37-39, C DPM/24/2-5 and C DPM/48-49 were transferred in December 2016 from the Hull and Holderness Courts.
