Beverley News

Beverley could soon be Britain’s next big cultural hotspot – but local MP Graham Stuart is calling on residents to make sure the town’s voice is heard.

As conversations around climate change continue to grow, so too does interest in the jobs and skills needed to protect the environment. Across the UK, sustainability is no longer a niche concern. It is shaping how industries operate and creating new career opportunities in the process.

One company seeing this shift first-hand is Stonbury, a water and environmental sustainability specialist that works nationwide to help protect communities, infrastructure and natural systems from the effects of climate change. While its head office is based in Bedford, Stonbury also has an operational presence in Beverley, reflecting the increasingly distributed nature of green careers.

Most working weeks run on routine. Emails arrive, attachments open, and reports move from draft to sent without much thought. People rely on steady systems so they can focus on clients, customers, and deadlines rather than troubleshooting.

Disruption often starts with something small. A document will not load. A saved file suddenly looks unreadable. An attachment bounces back just before submission. Minutes pass while you try again, then try something else. Gradually, that small issue begins to affect the rest of the day.

The cost of heating a home is only going up. In an era of increasing environmental awareness, most UK families are aiming for better sustainability. Did you know that the insulation in your home plays an important role? 

Insulation creates a thermal barrier between your living space and the elements, and in turn, achieves so much more than just keeping you warm. It can significantly improve your home’s credentials and keep you much more comfortable too.  

There’s always something going on and something to do in the town of Beverley. We’ve got the major annual events like Beverley Pride, which held its biggest and boldest event ever in 2025, and the largest one-day Christmas market in the UK, as well as the always-reliable venues that continue to offer locals a day or night of fun.

Victims of domestic abuse in the East Riding are being encouraged to seek advice and support during the Christmas period, when cases of domestic abuse tend to rise. 

Residents who feel concerned for their own or someone else’s safety during the Christmas period are encouraged to reach out to the East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s Domestic Violence and Abuse Partnership (DVAP). 

East Riding of Yorkshire Council has joined up with other councils in Yorkshire and the Humber to launch a Christmas campaign aimed at giving adults tips, advice and support to help keep relationships positive over the festive period. 

Audio adverts will run across the Bauer Radio network in December and will support adults looking for practical ways to build healthy relationships, through the Relationships Matter website. 

Technical problems can stop small Beverley businesses quickly and create immediate disruption. Limited IT resources heighten the risk, especially without on-site support.

Remote access technology has become an essential tool for Beverley’s small business community. This approach allows IT specialists to diagnose and fix computer problems without physically visiting the premises. Connecting to affected systems from anywhere, technicians can quickly address software glitches, update systems, and resolve many common issues that previously required time-consuming site visits.
