East Riding of Yorkshire Council will again have staff and equipment on stand by at its depots as high winds continue to affect the East Riding, with forecasts indicating more of the same over the next 24 hours. The council’s grounds maintenance team deployed two forestry standby crews last night to operate outside normal working hours, to respond to call outs, and dealt with a number of reports of fallen trees, including two in the Hessle area, one in Seaton and one in Rawcliffe Road, Goole. John Skidmore, head of streetscene services, said: “As well as the call outs last night from residents and our partners in the emergency services, our grounds maintenance teams have also been busy today clearing fallen trees, branches and other debris from the highway network. “The council is taking a proactive approach in dealing with the current spell of high winds, with some wind speeds in excess of 50 mph, and will continue to remain vigilant until the wind decreases. “The council recently completed an asset survey of all the trees in the East Riding as part of its overall forestry management across the area.” To report a fallen tree on the highway network or…

HOWDEN : Part Exchange Family Let Linden Homes Take The Strain Out Of Moving House

When Simon and Lisa Raywood decided to relocate their family to the East Yorkshire town of Howden – they didn’t realise just how smooth their move would be. In just short of a month, the couple and their two children were settled into a brand new four-bedroom detached home at Linden Homes’ King Edgar’s Court development, with the developer’s popular part exchange scheme making the customer journey hassle-free. Simon and Lisa and their two children aged 10 and 14 moved to the location from nearby Goole, after a Linden Homes leaflet advertising the development caught their eye. Although their new home in Howden is a similar size to their previous house in Goole – the family can benefit from a blank canvas on which to put their own personal mark. With a new home also comes low maintenance and high-energy efficiency, but it was the workings of the Part Exchange incentive that attracted the couple. Lisa said: “We both work and it was a relief that Linden Homes were able to take charge of the process of selling our existing home and moving us to a brand new one – all within a space of a month. “The brilliant sales…
