Crash barriers work to improve student safety
EAST YORKS: Work on the installation of crash barriers along the A63 is set to begin on Monday, February 14.
The project, by the Highways Agency, will help protect students of South Hunsley School, who walk feet away from traffic travelling at 70mph, on their way from Welton and Brough.
The work, which will take two weeks, will be carried out during evening and nighttime periods.
There are also talks between East Riding Council and Sport England to allow the diversion of the footpath on to the school field.
East Riding Councillor Helen Gilmour said: "We hope that all of the works will be complete in this financial year so that students will have the benefit of the safer route to school in the coming summer months and beyond."
BRIDLINGTON: Richard Myerscough has spoken about the types of stones used to build churches in the Yorkshire Wolds.
It took place at the latest meeting of the Bridlington And District Civic Society.
Mr Myerscough showed slides of churches describing the types of stone they were built of and where it came from.
Flint stone and chalk were used, Flamborough Chalk being among the toughest.
The group's next meeting is on Tuesday, February 8, at Bridlington North Library at 2.30pm. John Walker will speak on Flamborough Light Railway.
