Welcome to our April 2021 edition of the magazine I hope that you are all keeping safe and well during these difficult times. I would like to wish all our readers and advertisers a very happy and restful Easter. Easter, which is traditionally a time of reflection and new hope - could herald the end of the restrictions and a lasting return to pre-covid normailty - fingers crossed! Please can I again ask all our readers to support our advertisers through these difficult times by using local businesses, tradespeople and shops as much as possible - it does make a difference to our local economy. We have some interesting articles in this months edition ranging from our pick of new books which takes a look at autobiographies, we have some suggestions for walking in the three National Parks that are within easy travelling distance as the lockdown eases. We have our usual monthly gardening advice and a great cupcake recipe on page 10 that would be great for the children to bake this Easter. We also have a round up of local news stories too - one of which sees the East Riding Council using/ recycling old tyres as new road surfaces - which is great for the environment. Until next month stay safe - enjoy the magazine.

Local News 4 Please mention when responding to advertisers. Thank you. Work will start in Goole this month on new seating areas in the town centre thanks to part of the £750,000 accelerated Town Deal funding awarded last year. The works will focus on the Boothferry Road pedestrian plaza and Paradise Place, with the project encouraged by the Goole Town Deal Board in response to improving the quality and quantity of outdoor spaces in the town centre. The street furniture includes a mix of picnic benches, tables and benches, as well as planters spread about throughout them. The street furniture is 100 per cent recycled plastic and has used 6.4 tons in this project alone. Joseph Richardson, chair of the Goole Town Deal Board, said: “We all recognise the detrimental effect the lockdown has had on the local economy and on people’s lives, but we also recognise how it has affected people’s confidence to be in and around public spaces. “This project has been designed to help give people that confidence back and to venture out again and enjoy some socially-distanced seating, where they can perhaps see familiar faces and enjoy a takeout from the local hospitality sector.” To reflect Goole’s heritage and industry, the street furniture is a two-tone colour with wood grain effect which will give it a more contemporary feel to the town centre. The planters which will be installed will be planted with many different types of all-year round grasses to keep it simple yet effective, enhancing Goole’s green environment and making the new seating areas attractive places for people to spend time in. In addition to the new furniture and planters, the fund has also been used to purchase 12 pop-up outdoor stalls which will be available to use, and it is hoped be a launch pad for the start of a regular outdoor market in Goole town centre. Councillor Victoria Aitken, portfolio holder for economic development and inward investment at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “By improving the public realm in Goole town centre this way, we hope it will indirectly benefit those businesses that may have limited outdoor space for customers to enjoy food and drink, and contribute to the recovery effort in our local high streets. “Also, local people in the town will have already noticed the new Mr Fill bins, which are solar-powered compacting bins, meaning they can accommodate greater volumes of waste and less need to empty them, making these bins a much more sustainable and efficient waste system.” In June 2020, East Riding of Yorkshire Council conducted a residents’ survey which asked how consumer habits might change in light of the pandemic. The results showed that returning to local town centres, and having access to safe public spaces and familiar local shops and services, was important to people. The new seating areas will therefore ensure social distancing by spacing out the picnic benches and alternating them, so neighbouring tables are not facing each other.

Make some space on your bedside table for these three amazing books.. No Such Thing As Normal by Bryony Gordon From depression and anxiety to personality disorders, one in four of us experience mental health issues every year and, in these strange and unsettling times, more of us than ever are struggling to cope. Following last year’s brilliant Glorious Rock Bottom, No Such Thing As Normal, Bryony Gordon offers sensible, practical advice, covering subjects such as sleep, addiction, worry, medication, self-image, boundary setting, therapy, learned behaviour, mindfulness and, of course – as the founder of Mental Health Mates – the power of walking and talking. She also strives to equip those in need of help with tools and information to get the best out of a poorly funded system that can be both frightening and overwhelming. The result is a lively, honest and direct guide to mental health that cuts through the Instagram-wellness bubble to talk about how each of us can feel stronger, better and just a little bit less alone. Speak Your Truth by Fearne Cotton Whether it’s through television, radio or on her Happy Place podcast, beloved presenter Fearne Cotton has made a career out of her voice. So, when her doctor told her she was at risk of needing a throat operation followed by two weeks of being unable to speak, she found herself facing a period of unexpected contemplation. As she considered what 6 Books Please mention when responding to advertisers. Thank you. New Autobiographies silence would mean, Fearne began to think about other times her voice had gone unheard – as a young woman, as ‘just the talent’, as the foil to louder, more dominant figures. She found herself wondering, at what point do we internalise this message, and start silencing ourselves? When do we swallow down our authentic words to become pleasers and compromisers at the cost of our own happiness or wellbeing? This new release dives into all the ways we learn to stay quiet for the wrong reasons, and explores how to find your voice, assert yourself and speak out with confidence. My Rock ‘n’ Roll Friend by Tracey Thorn In 1983, backstage at the Lyceum in London, Tracey Thorn and Lindy Morrison first met. Tracey’s music career was just beginning, while Lindy, drummer for The Go-Betweens, was ten years her senior. They became confidantes, comrades and best friends, a relationship cemented by gossip and feminism, books and gigs and rock ‘n’ roll love affairs. Morrison – a headstrong heroine blazing her way through a male-dominated industry – came to be a kind of mentor to Thorn. They shared the joy and the struggle of being women in a band, trying to outwit and face down a chauvinist music media. In My Rock ‘n’ Roll Friend Thorn takes stock of 37 years of friendship, teasing out the details of connection and affection between two women who seem to be either complete opposites or mirror images of each other. This book asks what people see, who does the looking, and ultimately who writes women out of – and back into – history.

8 Local News Recycled tyres used for road resurfacing trial in Goole East Riding in Yorkshire Council is now believed to be the first local authority in Yorkshire to have a road partly built-up from old recycled tyres following work in Old Goole. The trial on Derwent Road in Old Goole used 120 recycled tyres mixed into a new road surface and reduced the carbon footprint by 3 tonnes in one shift. Contractor Specialist Surfacing Ltd laid a ECOSURF rubber modified SMA surface course produced by Tarmac, which is made from waste tyres which would have otherwise gone into landfill. As well as having environmental benefits, rubberised roads have a proven track record for reducing traffic noise. Re-purposing old rubber to manufacture roads could provide a use for the 40 million waste tyres produced every year in the UK. Councillor Chris Matthews, East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s portfolio holder for strategic property and infrastructure, said: “We’re delighted with the rubberised asphalt trial. It’s great to see innovative solutions to repurposing waste that could otherwise go to landfill. The surface is laid at a lower temperature which means the roads can be re-opened quicker, reduced fumes and improved site safety. “It’s great to see innovative solutions to repurposing waste that could otherwise go to landfill or incineration. As a council we are keen to explore all ideas that can reduce our impact on the environment. This product will provide a safe surface with less emissions and disruption during the laying process. “We ask residents and businesses to think about how they can reduce their carbon footprint so it’s important we do our bit too.” Newly resurfaced Dewent Road in Old Goole.

10 Recipe Please mention when responding to advertisers. Thank you. These cupcakes are beautifully moist and flavourful thanks to the grated carrots and an abundance of spices. Meanwhile, chopped walnuts lend some added crunch and the cream-cheese frosting tastes like a cloud of fluffy, sweet goodness.

Gardening 12 Please mention when responding to advertisers. Thank you. This month’s timely tips. Flowers Sow hardy annuals, such as love- in-a-mist and pot marigolds, as well as native wildflowers, into gaps in borders. Enjoy instant colour by planting primulas and polyanthus in pots and at the front of borders. Protect the new shoots of hostas, delphiniums, lupins and other vulnerable plants from slugs and snails. Continue deadheading spring bulbs and bedding, so they don’t waste energy setting seed. Plant pineapple lily (eucomis) bulbs in pots for exotic-looking summer flowers. Sow sweet peas at the base of supports, and transplant those sown in autumn into their final positions. Spray the new leaves of disease- prone roses with fungicide to control mildew, rust and blackspot. Take basal cuttings from clumps of perennials, such as delphiniums, campanulas and lupins. Prune hydrangeas, cutting back the old stems to a healthy shoot lower down. Reinvigorate mature clumps of hardy perennials, such as hostas, asters and daylilies, by dividing and replanting. Sow sunflowers in a sunny, open site, then water regularly and protect seedlings from slugs and snails. Check for aphids on roses and rub them off before they develop into major infestations. Add aquatic plants, such as waterlilies and irises, to garden ponds. Vegetables Aim to get all your potatoes planted by the end of the month – plant out chitted second early potatoes in the first two weeks of the month and maincrop potatoes in second two weeks. This is the last chance to sow aubergines, chillies and tomatoes, which need a long growing season to do well. Sow them under cover. If you only want a few plants, you could wait until next month and buy plants at the garden centre. Other crops that can be sown under cover include celeriac, courgettes, squashes, pumpkins and marrows, as well as leeks. Beetroot and carrots can be sown directly outside. So can peas, but they are a favourite snack for mice – if these are a problem, sow them indoors and plant the plants outside when they are 15cm tall. Wildlife Plant native hedges now to encourage more wildlife. Most garden wildlife is busy in April. Many bumblebees and birds will be establishing nests and plenty of other species, such as moths, leaf miners and other insects, are already breeding. Hedgehogs, which typically emerge from hibernation in March, will be fattening up to be in good condition for breeding in May. Most frogs and toads will have left ponds after breeding, in search of damp shelter such as beneath a log or brick pile. April Jobs

Near by National Parks Going abroad feels a bit of a way off, but if you’re bored of the same local walking routes, it might be time to start planning a trip to one of the the National Parks ready for when restrictions begin to ease. North York Moors National Park A nature lover’s dream, the North York Moors are home to an abundance of wildlife and some seriously stunning views. Located in north east of Yorkshire, there are more than 1,400 miles of public footpaths to explore, as well as the famous Cleveland Way National Trail – a 109-mile walking route. In late summer, visitors can spot roe deer in the ancient woodland areas, plus seals, dolphins, and even whales along its 26-mile coastline. History buffs will appreciate the various landmarks and historical sites that date back to the Iron Age, while bookworms should head to the 18th-century Castle Howard, the backdrop to Evelyn Waugh’s Brideshead Revisited. The park is also great for cycling – among other activities – and is one of the best places on this list for mountain biking, too. Visit NorthYorkMoors.org.uk Yorkshire Dales National Park Situated in North Yorkshire, this stunning national park covers 860sq. m. of land. The area is best explored over the course of a weekend, with highlights including the Gordale Scar ravines, Malham Cove (an ancient limestone amphitheatre), Malham Tarn Lake, and the beautiful Aysgarth Falls (pictured). Within the park, there are four dales to explore – Wensleydale, Swaledale, Wharfedale and Malhamdale – as well as several villages and historical landmarks nearby that are worth venturing out to – Bolton Abbey Estate and Pendragon Castle make a great day out. Once you’ve finished exploring, don’t miss the Wensleydale Experience – a great lunch spot. Visit YorkshireDales.org.uk Peak District National Park Spread across Derbyshire, Yorkshire, Staffordshire, and Cheshire, the Peak District National Park covers 555 sq. m. of beautiful landscape. It was the first national park to be established in England, and attracts thousands of visitors each year thanks to its rugged terrain, which is ideal for mountain climbing, horse riding and cycling. There are hundreds of walking routes to choose from, but one of the best is the Curbar Edge walk which is seven miles long and takes around three to four hours to complete. Starting at the village of Curbar in the Derbyshire Dales, the route passes Grindleford and Froggatt – two quaint villages that are both worst a visit. If you’re up for the challenge, try the Rowtor Rock walk, which beings in Birchover. Both are fairly steep with rugged terrain, so you’ll need proper walking boots. Visit PeakDistrict.Gov.uk

COLLEGE AND HUMBERSIDE POLICE FORCE: Bishop Burton College has announced an official partnership with Humberside Police Force. The agreement means that students at the College will benefit from industry led employability workshops, delivered by Humberside Police Force employees. Workshops will cover a broad range of topics, including hostage negotiation, forensics, armed response, covert operations and dog handling, as well as many other key roles and skills. Teaching will be delivered with a mix of theory and practical experiences and students will also gain access to guest speaking / observation opportunities, as well as being able to take part in training sessions as ‘scenario participants’. A recent increase in demand for Uniformed Public Service and related courses at the College, supported by the implementation of a new Forensic and Criminology offer, has led to the creation of the official partner status. A brand new Level 3 Policing qualification is also being launched in September this year, further enhancing the Public Service qualification provision at the College. Applications are being taken NOW for September 2021 start.
