    East Yorkshire Motor Services – May 2018 Changes Introduction East Yorkshire Motor Services (EYMS) has notified the Council of a large number of changes to local bus services in the East Riding which will come into effect from Sunday 6th May 2018. These include changes to a large number of commercial services, which are outside the direct control of the Council. The changes also include a number of local bus and home to school services which were funded by the Council. In this note you will find details of the replacement operators on the home to school services relinquished by EYMS and details of the replacement services and bus operators for the contracted local bus services previously provided by EYMS. The Council has also taken action to replace two commercial services the 220 and 504 cancelled by EYMS. If your local bus service is not operated by EYMS, or if it is operated by EYMS but not in the list below, then there are no planned changes. Changes to Commercial Services These changes are being introduced by East Yorkshire Motor Services from Sunday 6th May 2018 and are changes to services which are not funded by the Council.

  • 299 the Collection of Tumuli, Known As Danes' Graves, Occur on the Wolds
    Downloaded from http://pygs.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Iowa on May 24, 2015 299 NOTES ON THE DANES1 GRAVES NEAR DRIFFIELD. BY THE REV. E. MAULE COLE, M.A., F.G.S. The collection of tumuli, known as Danes' Graves, occur on the Wolds, at the junction of three parishes—Great Driffield, Nafferton, and Kilham. They are actually in the parish of Great Driffield, though in some reports they are described as being in the parish of Kilham. They are situated immediately to the south of a line of entrenchments which, roughly speaking, extends from Flamborough Head to Garrowby Hill top. This line of entrench• ments is remarkable for the fact that it forms the boundaries of all parishes from York to Flamborough. It is more or less sinuous, and, in all probability, marks the track of an ancient British way from Eburac (our modern York) to the coast. It may have been utilized by the Romans after their conquest of the country, as there is evidence (obtained by my friend, Mr. J. R. Mortimer) of a Roman- British cemetery on both sides of the road, in the parish of Wetwang- with-Fimber, but I think that the Romans constructed another road in the rear, at a higher elevation, from Fridaythorpe, through Sledmere and Octon to Bridlington Bay, known as the High Street. The site of Pretorium, mentioned in the itinerary of Antonine, has long been a matter of dispute, and is so still, but when it is con• sidered that the Romans would probably wish to have access by sea to such an important place as Eburacum, then the capital of Britannia, it is not improbable that they would select the shortest land route, to which an ancient British way already pointed.

    SYSTEMIC INSIGHTS INTO THE MANAGEMENT OF ECOSYSTEM SERVICES IN THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT Jonathan P. Atkins a, Daryl Burdon b, Mike Elliott b and Amanda J. Gregory c a Centre for Economic Policy, The Business School, University of Hull, Hull HU6 7RX, UK b Institute of Estuarine and Coastal Studies (IECS), University of Hull, Hull HU6 7RX, UK c Centre for Systems Studies, The Business School, University of Hull, Hull HU6 7RX, UK ABSTRACT This paper centres on the application of The Ecosystem Approach in the management of the marine environment, involving the identification of multi-stakeholder needs and uses of ecosystem services. The Ecosystem Approach provides ‘a strategy for the integrated management of land, water and living resources that promotes conservation and sustainable use in an equitable way’, while ecosystem services are ‘the conditions and processes through which natural ecosystems, and the species that make them up, sustain and fulfil human life’. Ever increasing and diverse use of the marine environment is leading to human-induced changes in marine-life, making necessary the development of a marine policy formation process that recognises and takes into consideration the full range of stakeholders and results in policy that addresses current, multiple, interacting uses (e.g. the EU’s Maritime Policy and Marine Strategy Framework Directive). Taking a systemic approach, incorporating an understanding of marine ecosystem structure and functioning, we identify the diversity of stakeholders and their uses of the marine environment within the framework of ecosystem services (production, regulation, cultural and over-arching support services). Informed by the DPSIR (Drivers – Pressures - State Change – Impact - Response) approach - a framework for assessing the causes, consequences and responses to change – we assess the outcomes of competing human uses and emerging pressures on the marine environment, the complexity of decision making in this area, and provide a process for informing choices in conflict resolution involving a diversity of stakeholders.

  • Surface and Subsurface Fault Mapping in the Yorkshire Wolds, UK
    Surface and subsurface fault mapping in the Yorkshire Wolds, UK. Vernon, R., Ford, J., Watkinson, K., Haslam, R., Woods, M., Farrant, A., Burke, H., Davis, A., Lear, J., Tarnanas, H. & Wrathmell, E. © UKRI All rights reserved Background • The Upper Cretaceous Chalk Group crops out across a significant area of southern and eastern England and extends offshore into the North Sea. • The Chalk is an important source of groundwater across England, however the different properties of the Chalk Group Formations and the effects of dissolution, karstification and faulting on groundwater flow are little understood. • In this project we have used a multidisciplinary approach to map a fault network from the North Sea which intersects one of the UK’s major aquifers and determine the importance of the fault network for groundwater flow within the region. • The Yorkshire Wolds is a region of low hills located east of York, between Scarborough and Hull, in northeast England, which is underlain by bedrock of the Chalk Group and are transected by two major fault zones. • The Chalk of the Yorkshire Wolds is a principal aquifer and the main source of water supply in East Yorkshire. The aquifer and associated groundwater system is directly influenced by the properties and distribution of the Chalk formations, faulting and superficial deposits that locally conceal the Chalk. • Current geological datasets for the region are based on historical mapping and do not reflect modern geological understanding, or consider more recent surface and subsurface data. • To rectify this a collaborative geological study between BGS and the Chalk Group Environment Agency has integrated a wide range of surface and subsurface data, literature and direct field evidence to create a revised geological interpretation for the northeastern Yorkshire Wolds, including the DEM from NEXTMap Britain elevation data from Intermap Technologies ©NEXTMap®.

  • Scarborough's War Years, 1939-1945
    SCARBOROUGH’S WAR YEARS - 1939-45 by Richard James Percy PAGE 1 It would be impossible to recollect all the activity that went on in Scarborough during the Second World War. Shops and businesses had to adjust to the war situation. Many closed earlier than usual because of the blackout. The hospital only allowed two visitors to each patient per day and only one at a time by the bedside. Everyone had to carry their gasmasks, although people soon became tired of doing so and the habit slowly petered out. Everyone had an identity card which had to be on the person at all times. The hotels and boarding houses were full of visitors on the first Christmas of the war but this was all to change as one by one they were taken over by the military for the billeting of the armed forces. Scarborough had become a prohibited area and it was difficult for anyone to enter without a lot of questions being asked. Later on in the war visitors did start to arriving for their holidays but it was very hard for them to find accommodation. Many shops and houses had their windows and other breakable things taped up to stop blast damage in case of air raids. The Floral Hall, Gala Land and the South Bay Pool had wire netting in vunerable places. The inhabitants of Scarborough attended dances at the Olympia – the Spa was requisitioned by the military – and although the streets were full of soldiers and a blackout, there was never one case of assault or any trouble.
