will allow HGV traffic to avoid the town centre, to the benefits of motorists, residents and businesses in Howden” “We’re proud to invest in infrastructure in our region, to improve transportation links and facilitate economic growth” Works are programmed to be starting on the Thorpe Road side of the site and will move west towards Station Road, although the contractor will be working in all areas, including working on a new pump station for surface water to the south of the site to improve drainage. While the vast majority of the work will be carried out off road, there will be occasional traffic management on Thorpe Road and Station Road, although disruption will be kept to a minimum.

Local News 4 To contact Telephone: 01964 552 470 • Email: ask@daltonspire.co.uk • www.daltonspire.co.uk A groundbreaking ceremony has marked the start of one of East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s largest construction projects, the Howden Relief Road. The ceremony was attended by Councillor Anne Handley, leader of East Riding of Yorkshire Council and Councillor Gary McMaster, cabinet member for planning, housing and infrastructure. Representatives of the council’s contractor Aureos and the developer of the wider Howden north site, JG Hatcliffe Associates, were also in attendance. Howden Relief Road is designed to reduce congestion by diverting heavy traffic away from the town centre, reducing accidents, lowering carbon emissions and improving travel times. The project will see the building of a link road between the A614 Thorpe Road and Station Road (B1228), together with four roundabouts, on what is currently farmland. The contract for the main works was awarded in June and is scheduled to take just over two years to complete. The relief road forms part of a broader planning application for the site by JG Hatcliffe Associates to develop a new area north of Howden for mixed residential and commercial use – including houses, services, businesses and green spaces – which is allocated in the East Riding Local Plan as HOW-G. The HOW-G development aims to create hundreds of jobs, bring businesses to the area and boost the local economy. The relief road project will be funded through a mix of developer contributions and council funding via Invest East Yorkshire, including a £2m Devolution grant and a £1m Local Transport Grant. Councillor Anne Handley, East Riding of Yorkshire Council leader said “This relief road is a vital piece of infrastructure, to ease congestion and help local residents. It Construction begins on £45 million pound Howden Relief Road

6 Whats On To contact Telephone: 01964 552 470 • Email: ask@daltonspire.co.uk • www.daltonspire.co.uk As Beverley Minster once again prepares to open its doors to its very popular and successful fund raising event - the Vintage & Retro Fair we ask the question why is vintage so popular.. Vintage is everywhere. When you think about it; that’s rather a silly statement. Of course, vintage is everywhere – as soon as something’s been around for a while it effectively becomes ‘vintage’, being replaced by something newer that’s the latest flavour of the month. By definition then, vintage is everywhere – so let’s embrace it! Amongst other factors, the current economic climate appears to have contributed to the trend of acquiring and reusing vintage clothing, accessories, and homeware products, particularly with young consumers. The popularity of vintage has also been linked to a change in consumer attitudes towards wearing and utilising second- hand goods. In addition to a change in attitudes, other factors that contribute to the growth of the vintage trend include a change in values, the inclusion of vintage inspirations used in current designs by fashion designers, and in the trends marketed by the forecasting sector, eco-sustainability, the media, and technology. Also vintage consumers and vintage retailers appear to share the viewpoint of the movement towards vintage fashion that has been assisted by a reaction against mass-produced fast fashion, as consumers strive for more individuality in their styling and garments. Eco-fashion and sustainable fashion ideals have emerged as solutions to the environmental issues that are currently inherent in the industry’s manufacturing processes, which have government and pressure group support. This ideal and practice complements the vintage trend phenomenon. The celebrity factor Like or not, in the past few years, the renaissance of vintage may in part be attributable to the fact so many celebrities have been photographed and appear in newspapers and magazines and on the Internet happily wearing vintage in public. This, in many people’s minds then, has helped underline the reality there’s no barrier at all to wearing vintage and looking entirely with-it and modern – and with that, using vintage clothes to help carve out and express one’s own style and individual dress sense. Self-expression Maybe most of all, though, vintage/ retro is enjoying an undeniable time in the sun right now because it’s an enabler - it ensures its enthusiasts can be enthusiasts of themselves; that is, of their own sense of style and fashion and how they wish to be seen - how they want to present themselves to the outside world and what about their own personalities they want to share through how they dress. It can be - flying in the face of homogenous high-street garments - about self-expression. And, through that, about liberation and free- styling. Many people turn to and develop an interest in vintage/ retro through seeking out or, by accident rather than design, discovering that one piece that they have to have, which becomes that favourite in their wardrobe they constantly pull out and mix and match with so many other things. That, of course, is wonderful, but it can lead them further into the wide world of vintage fairs, shops and online sellers; it can become a door that opens them up to all the possibilities out there.

10 Literature To contact Telephone: 01964 552 470 • Email: ask@daltonspire.co.uk • www.daltonspire.co.uk Tantrum by Rachel Eve Moulton In this electric horror, Thea suspects something is deeply wrong with her newborn daughter – and she’s right. Born with a full set of teeth and an insatiable appetite, baby Lucia is no ordinary child. When she points to her brother and says, “I eat,” Thea isn’t sure whether to be horrified or proud. As Lucia grows rapidly and her hunger intensifies, Thea begins to experience disturbing flashbacks from her own childhood. With a devilish glint in her eye, Lucia seems set on devouring the world – and Thea, worn down and mesmerised, might just be willing to let her do it. I Know Where You Buried Your Husband by Marie O’Hare This sharp debut is centred on a group of women who have been friends since school: Sophia, Safa, Ella, Ajola and Caoimhe. When one of them is nearly framed for murder, they bury the evidence, make a pact and go their separate ways. Years later, an anonymous blackmailer threatens to reveal their secret. Forced to reunite, they must get their stories straight and uncover who is tormenting them. But as tensions rise, they wonder: is it already too late to save themselves? The Midnight Feast by Lucy Foley The Midnight Feast unfolds at the grand opening of The Manor, a luxurious wellness retreat on the Dorset coast. Owner Francesca Mead- ows has transformed her inherited estate into a high- end resort, drawing both admiration and resentment from the local community. As guests gather for a lavish Books for September summer solstice celebration, old tensions resur- face, secrets emerge, and a body is discovered. The haunting grip of the past is about to rear its ugly head. Atmosphere: A Love Story by Taylor Jenkins Reid Taylor Jenkins Reid (The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Daisy Jones and the Six) returns with a story set in 1980s America. Astrophysics professor Joan Goodwin begins training to be an astronaut at Houston’s Johnson Space Centre, alongside an exceptional group of fellow candidates. As the new astronauts prepare for their first flights, Joan finds a passion and a love she never imagined, and begins to question everything she believes about her place in the observable universe. Then, in December of 1984, on mission STS-LR9, everything changes in an instant. .. Albion by Anna Hope When family members fight over the legacy of their inherited country estate, all hell breaks loose in this Succession-meets-Saltburn novel from British writer Anna Hope. The Brookes gather in their ancestral home to bury Philip, the head of the family. Frannie, who will inherit the land, dreams of rewilding it to combat climate change, while Milo envisions a luxury retreat for the wealthy under the influence of psychedelics. Both believe their father gave them his blessing to carry out their ambition plans, setting them on a collision course. Isa has long suspected that her father thought only of himself, and only hopes to seek out her childhood love, who still lives on the estate, to discover what her marriage is lacking. Then there’s Claram who arrives in their midst from America, shrouded in secrets, and bearing a truth that will shatter all their hopes and dreams. All the books in this feature are on sale now.

Here are a few strategies to help maintain a healthy back while enjoying the great outdoors: DIGGING Digging is a critical gardening movement that requires the right tools to get the job done safely and efficiently. Make sure you have a shovel with sharp edges to reduce the amount of force needed to scoop the dirt. The handle of the shovel should also be long enough to avoid excessive bending. Maintain good posture while using a shovel, and if you find yourself using too much pressure, try to wet the soil to loosen it up. Don’t twist too much when dumping out the soil, but rather move a few steps to get to the dumping ground. WEEDING Weeding often requires prolonged sitting or bending over. To avoid excessive bending, it is recommended that you use a stool (a simple low stool will often do the trick) to sit on, which will reduce the amount of pressure put on your low back. This is

LIFTING Prolonged lifting of heavy bags of soil and mulch can take a toll on your back. One rule of thumb is to always use your hips to lift up, as these muscles are typically much stronger than your low back muscles. Furthermore, bend at the knees and use the hips to come back up; do not bend your waist. Many people invest in elevated garden beds to avoid excessive bending. If something is too heavy, don’t be afraid to ask for help! Your back will thank you later. LAWN MOWING It is imperative to maintain proper posture while using a lawn mower as poor technique can lead to increase strain, and in turn, low back pain. Also pay attention to your arm position. Proper form allows a slight bend at the elbow with the handle at a comfortable level (not too high or low). 5 GARDENING BASICS FOR EVERY GREEN THUMB: 1. Make sure you are conditioned and ready for spending prolonged time in the garden. Don’t rush into gardening after long periods of inactivity. 2. Planting perennial flowers and plants is a great way to avoid additional time in the garden every season. 3. Make sure you are well hydrated while spending hours outside. It is a good idea to wear light coloured clothing and a hat, and plant in shaded areas. 4. Listen to your body and take breaks every 15-20 minutes to stretch and rest. 5. Make sure to have long enough handles on your tools to avoid excessive bending.

Embrace the natural colour palette that accompanies the season; rusty oranges, leafy greens and aubergine purples will set the scene for an autumnal celebration. 2. Make sure you plan your photography to get some outdoor snaps and capture the autumn scenery and colours around your venue. 3. With the daylight starting to fade earlier in the day, think about warm, romantic lighting for the evening part of your celebration. Tea lights and lanterns will create a lovely rustic glow. 4. Make the most of seasonal fruit in your choice of menu and sweet treats. Fruit pies of apples or blackberries work perfectly on a themed dessert table and veg such as pumpkin and parsnip will make a hearty soup for a starter. 5. Hints of gold and bronze are perfect for this time of year and will add a touch of luxury to your look. Metallics are still a hot trend for 2016/17 so opt for some opulent finishing touches to work with your colour palette. 6. Style up your reception with rustic accessories such as a wooden table centre display or a hand-carved cake stand – perfect for a woodland wedding! 7. When it comes to your wedding flowers, autumn is the perfect time to mix in berries and opt for a luxurious colour palette to highlight the change in season. Foliage such as astilbe and seeds such as scabiosa stellata will create a rustic looking arrangement and bring in lots of exciting textures. 8. Autumn is a great time of year to make cute DIY details and help stretch the budget that little bit further. Take a trip to your local park and collect twigs to make decorative wreaths, or conkers to use as place settings. 9. Finishing touches like hessian are perfect for creating an autumnal feel and can be worked into so many aspects of your wedding. A simple DIY table runner will transform your tabletop, or a cute hessian bow on your bouquet will help tie in the look. 10. As the autumn evening starts to draw in, make sure you keep your guests nice and toasty. A chill-out area with warm blankets is a great way to let your friends and family relax and warm up before hitting the dance floor... 10 Top tips for an Autumn Wedding DNfourteen Style Editor Patricia Kaye shares her tips for planning an Autumnal Wedding In the elegant surroundings of Beverley Minster “Everything to Make Your Special Day Perfect” Meet the regions most prestigious wedding exhibitors Bridal Fashion Show (7:30pm) • Live Music To exhibit email: jane@daltonspire.co.uk Doors open: 6:30pm to 9pm • Free Entry Beverley Minster Wedding Fair • Wednesday 24th September
