Plans for 169 houses to the north of Chambers Avenue Boothferry Rd are due to be decided by ERYC Planning Committee Cllrz this thursday 10th Sept. Cllr David Nolan has objected to the plans to access the estate via Chambers Avenue. He objects because It would cause serious harm to the amenity of residents to have the cars from 169 houses going past their homes. Furthermore, plans to build another 150-200 houses north of Holly Drive/Cherry Avenue will push even more traffic down Chambers Avenue.
he wants the Chambers Avenue access road closed and for all traffic to use to the proposed access road further east.
Cllr Nolan requested a site visit by ERYC Planning Cllrs this Tuesday 8th Sept at about 10.30 am to look at the access road via Chambers Avenue and other concerns raised by Hessle Town Council.

Fallen tree blocking pavement at top of Davenport Avenue, Hessle has been reported for clearance to the Council. They may insist the land- owners clear it. "But either way it needs sorting, so us doggies can get by" says Hugo.

Beverley Rd Hessle pedestrian crossing outside the Recca park has not yet had it's road markings redone, following the resurfacing works.
Cllr Nolan has complained and asked the Council to treat the re-marking as a road safety priority.

Strangely enough the Council has done the yellow lines. In the meantime, drivers are asked to be mindful of pedestrians crossing. We've had reports of vehicles not stopping. The pedestrian crossing is still in operation even though the markings need re-painting.

UPDATE
The humber bridge board website has no email addresses. No emails for whoever is in charge, on the Board or manages the Estate. We've posted on their query page and got an automated reply that they'll "respond in up to 14 calendar days." Any visitors looking to use their toilets could be in for a long wait!

To humber bridge board
Cc eryc public conveniences
I've seen an announcement from HBB that the toilets in the top car-park are closed until further notice. No explanation given.
These toilets are used by bridge visitors and also visitors to events like the Craft and farmers market, soapbox derby etc. There are toilets on the Foreshore but that is a considerable walking distance and there is no disabled access down to the Foreshore.
What is the reason for this? There is no explanation in your announcement
Is the intention to re-open them ?
I look forward to a reply.

Little Swanland Road, Hessle.
Workmen are active and a resident was concerned they were re-opening the old southbound junction onto Boothferry Rd.
We asked ERYC for confirmation they were NOT removing the bollards and received a reply:
Good morning Cllr Nolan

I can confirm there are no plans to re-open Swanland Road.

That area is being used as a compound and storage area by the contractors working on the Boothferry Road/Heads Lane junction resurfacing works.

They are likely to be there for the next 3/4 weeks and will leave the area in a tidy state one they remove their compound.

If you have any further queries please feel free to contact me.

Regards
Senior Engineer
Crosby Ferguson & Medcalf
