Reports of excessive dog fouling around the village which is causing distress to residents are on the increase. If you are a dog walker or owner, please ensure you pick up your dog poo.

Dog fouling is a major concern to many people, not just because of the mess it causes, but because it can be a health risk. Dogs may deposit roundworm eggs (toxocara canis) in their faeces, which become infectious after about 3 weeks, and can remain so for up to 2 years.

Anyone, but particularly children playing near to the ground, can run the risk of picking up and swallowing the eggs. The eggs then hatch in the intestine, burrow through the intestine wall into the blood stream and pass into the body.

Possible symptoms of toxocaral infection range from aches, dizziness and nausea to asthma and pneumonia, but as these symptoms can all be caused by other things, infections often go undiagnosed. In the UK there are around 100 cases of toxocariasis diagnosed each year.

In rare cases eye disease and loss of vision can be caused when the toxocara larva passes through the eye.

Advance notice of roadworks – A63

We’re getting in touch to let you know we’ll soon be carrying out essential maintenance work on the A63 between North Cave and South Cave, in both directions (but not at the same time), completing this work will mean smoother and safer journeys for customers.

We plan to start work on Monday 14 November and aim to complete in December. We’ll be working overnight between 8pm and 6am, Monday to Friday. We cannot complete this work in harsh weather; if there are any changes, we will keep you updated on our website and social media channels.

To carry out this work safely we will first close the westbound carriageway overnight (8pm until 6am) Monday to Friday for approximately 3 weeks. Due to essential maintenance work taking place on Ouse Bridge, we plan to return to complete the eastbound carriageway in the new year.

A fully signed diversion, which has been agreed in advance with the police and the local authority, will be in place.

• Westbound – motorway traffic will be diverted at Western interchange (between North Ferriby and Humber Bridge) onto the A164 & A1079, through to the A614 onto junction 37 of the M62.

During the day, the carriageway will be open to traffic in both directions.

If you would like to discuss this scheme, or need further information, please contact National Highways 0300 123 5000 or email info@nationalhighways.co.uk and we can arrange for the project team to get in touch directly.
