IMPORTANT COMMUNITY ALERT – QUEEN ELIZABETH II FIELD 

A small wooded area within the Queen Elizabeth II Field has recently been designated as an outdoor reading and reflection area.

The idea is to make positive use of the trees that were recently felled, creating a peaceful outdoor space where residents can sit, read, enjoy nature or simply spend a little quiet time. The project is still in its early stages, and further improvements will be made as funding and opportunities become available.

For now, the area remains rustic but usable, and it has been lovely to see residents already enjoying it during the summer weather.

Unfortunately, we now need to raise a very serious concern.

Yesterday, an incident involving fire occurred within the area. Had it not been discovered and dealt with immediately, the entire wooded area—and potentially a much wider part of the field—could have been lost.

Due to the prolonged hot and dry weather, grass, fallen leaves, timber and surrounding vegetation are extremely dry. A discarded cigarette, match, lighter, candle, barbecue or even a small spark could cause a fire to spread within moments.

No fires, barbecues, candles, fire pits, fireworks or open flames of any kind are permitted anywhere on the Queen Elizabeth II Field. Signs confirming this will be placed around the site as soon as possible.

Please speak to your children, family members and friends and help us spread this important message. Fire is not harmless fun. It can spread rapidly, destroy wildlife and public spaces, damage nearby property and, most importantly, place lives at risk.

Deliberately or recklessly damaging property by fire may amount to criminal damage and can be prosecuted as arson under the Criminal Damage Act 1971.

We are also asking residents to please report antisocial or suspicious behaviour. Police resources and patrols are more likely to be directed to an area when incidents are formally reported.

 Call 101 or report online for non-emergency antisocial behaviour or suspicious activity.

 Call 999 immediately if a fire has been started, a crime is taking place or anyone is in immediate danger. Do not attempt to tackle a spreading grass or woodland fire yourself.

Please help us protect this new community space so that everyone can continue to enjoy it safely.South Cave Parish Council

Re: A63/M62 junction 38 lighting upgrades 

We’re getting in touch to let you know that we’ll be renewing life-expired steel lighting columns and upgrading roadside lighting in your area to LED.

LED lighting benefits road users and the environment alike. It uses less power, produces lower carbon emissions and lasts longer, as well as reducing the need for future maintenance.  

• Where? We will be carrying out these important improvements on the westbound exit slip road at the A63/M62 junction 38 (North Cave). 
• When? Weeknights (Monday-Friday) between 10 August and 14 September 2026. The work will be carried out between 8pm and 6am. 

We will not be working on the Bank Holiday Monday (31 August). 

How will this affect me? 

To carry this out safely, we will need to close the A63/M62 westbound exit slip every weeknight while we work on this section. 

Motorists wishing to exit the A63/M62 westbound at North Cave will be diverted on the M62 westbound to junction 37(Howden) before being directed back to the junction 38 eastbound exit.  

Access will be in place for residents and businesses close to the slip road and we have written to them to inform them of access arrangements while this work is ongoing.

We have done all we can to minimise disruption, however we apologise for any inconvenience caused. 

Please note, this work is weather dependent, and closure dates may change at short notice.  

If you have any questions or concerns you can get in touch via the following channels: 

Telephone: 0300 123 5000 

Email: info@nationalhighways.co.uk 

We will also share information on our website: https://nationalhighways.co.uk/our-roads/yorkshire-and-north-east/yorkshire-and-north-east-maintenance-schemes

Flood Alleviation Scheme Update

East Riding of Yorkshire Council has provided an update on the proposed flood alleviation scheme.

There are currently no public engagement events or drop-in sessions scheduled. Subject to the project’s progress, any future public engagement is expected to take place during mid-2027, in line with the anticipated submission of a planning application.

Work on the project continues to progress behind the scenes. Detailed ground investigations have now been completed, with groundwater monitoring and reporting continuing. The baseline hydraulic model has also been updated, while a range of additional site investigations have been undertaken. Ecological surveys and environmental monitoring remain ongoing.

The Council has contacted all affected landowners to discuss the proposals, and landowner considerations will continue to be taken into account as the detailed design develops. Preparation of the pre-planning application is also continuing.

South Cave Parish Council will continue to share updates with residents as further information becomes available and any future public engagement events are confirmed.

Help Keep Church Hill Shining for Christmas 2026

South Cave Parish Council is seeking support to secure the Christmas Tree Column Lights around the Church Hill Cenotaph area for the 2026 festive season.

We are delighted to announce that South Cave 10K has very kindly donated £500 towards the 2026 rental costs. We are extremely grateful for their generosity and community spirit.

To secure the festive lighting display for 2026, we still need to raise a further £800.

Can You Help?

The Christmas lights around the Church Hill Cenotaph area have become an important part of our village’s festive celebrations, bringing warmth, colour, and community spirit to residents and visitors alike.

Any donation, large or small, will be greatly appreciated and will help ensure the display returns for Christmas 2026.

To Make a Donation or Find Out More

Contact The Clerk
South Cave Town Hall
☎️ 01430 421044
📧 clerk@southcavepc.gov.uk

Thank You for Your Support

With your help, we can continue to make the Church Hill Cenotaph area a welcoming and festive focal point for the community during the Christmas season.

Every contribution makes a difference.

The Parish Council understands residents concerns relating to fireworks; however, it does not have statutory powers to deal with noise nuisance complaints. Responsibility for investigating and taking action on noise issues, including those relating to fireworks, lies with East Riding of Yorkshire Council.

Residents who wish to make a formal complaint should contact the Council’s Environmental Health team, who are responsible for enforcing noise control legislation. You can find details and report issues via the Council’s website:

• East Riding of Yorkshire Council Environmental Health (search for “noise nuisance” on their site)
• Main website: https://www.eastriding.gov.uk
• Telephone: 01482 393939
•  

Legal position on fireworks in the UK

Fireworks are regulated under several pieces of legislation, including the Fireworks Regulations 2004 and the Environmental Protection Act 1990.

Key points include:

• Fireworks may generally only be used between 7am and 11pm.
• Extended hours are allowed on certain dates:
  • Until midnight on New Year’s Eve
  • Until 1am on Chinese New Year, Diwali, and Bonfire Night
• It is an offence to set off fireworks outside these permitted hours (except for licensed displays).
• Fireworks must not cause a statutory nuisance, such as excessive or unreasonable noise, under the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
• Local authorities have powers to investigate complaints and, where appropriate, issue warnings or abatement notices.

If a display is organised and falls within permitted hours, it may be lawful, but it can still be investigated if it is considered to create a noise nuisance.

Running up that hill

In 2021, members of Kingston Upon Hull Athletic Club (KUHAC) were looking for a venue for a new 10K race and were delighted when the Pavilion committee at South Cave said that their building could be the new race HQ and that the run could finish on the Bully Field. Then Cave Castle agreed that the runners could start in front of the hotel and run down its drive and out into the village. With a loop round Ellerker, and a nice scenic stretch round Common Road, the South Cave 10K was complete and eventually 414 runners competed the inaugural event.

Since then the race has become established on the last Sunday in July as an annual event in both villages. It is also a fixture in the local running calendar with 1000 runners expected to take part this year. The feedback from participants has always been enthusiastic and positive with many of the runners commenting on the attractive and challenging course and even more saying how much they appreciated the warm and friendly support from spectators all around the course.

Some 50 KUHAC volunteer will cover all the corners and turning points, helping to keep everyone safe and making sure that there are as few traffic holdups as possible. A professional traffic management team will be brought in to install temporary traffic lights as the organisers try to cause the least possible delays. This year, they will be introducing a requirement for all cars leaving the parking spaces on the Bully Field to turn left at the bottom of Wadley Plump so that they can leave the village via Willow Flats and not block the exit from Church Street into Market Place. In the weeks leading up to the big day, KUHAC will be putting up warning notices around the course and leafletting all houses in Cave, Ellerker and Broomfleet that will affected by the race.

As in previous years, the event has a chosen local charity with a donation being added for each person taking part and £3 going into the fund if any runner does not want the special t-shirt. With many runners also adding their own contribution to the charity fund, Hull and East Yorkshire Mind should benefit by at least £1000. In addition, and as a thank you to the village, KUHAC will be donating £500 to the South Cave parish council for its Christmas lights appeal.

If you know someone who is running, or would just like to join in the fun, please come out and give the runners a cheer. Remember that once they have run six miles, they still have to run up that hill to get to the finish by the Pavilion so they deserve your support!

Anyone who is worried that the event might cause them problems on the day can contact one of the organisers by emailing paulfclarke@onetel.com and we will do our best to help.

The Parish Council would like to remind residents when it is appropriate to contact the police using the 101 non-emergency number.

🚔 Call 101 to report:

• Suspicious activity or behaviour in your area
• Anti-social behaviour (e.g. noise, nuisance, vandalism)
• Minor road traffic incidents (no injuries)
• Ongoing issues such as illegal parking causing danger or obstruction
• Criminal damage or theft (where it is not happening right now)
• Concerns about drug-related activity

🚫 Do NOT call 101 in an emergency
If a crime is happening now, someone is in immediate danger, or a suspect is nearby, always call 999.

📢 For driving offences:

• Use Operation Snap for video evidence of dangerous driving
• Contact the East Riding of Yorkshire Council for parking enforcement issues

Using the right service helps ensure emergency lines stay free for those who need them most.

Thank you for helping keep our community safe.

Fireworks

We would just like to bring your attention to the firework displays in the village and some of the feelings of the villagers.

On the 18^th and 19^th July, two families sadly lost their dogs due to the extremely loud fireworks. Both dogs on separate night were scared off, knocked over and killed.  This would not have happened if there was more coverage regarding the fireworks in the village, 2 signposts and social media posts do not suffice.  It cannot be expected that every member of our valued community is on social media or will happen to walk by the correct venue at the correct time.

A large quantity of the villagers is annoyed by the constant firework displays that go off in the village and are calling for the venues or the people who set off the fireworks to use silent fireworks or drone light displays.

There are petitions in the Budgens, Costcutters, The Old Picture House Pet Shop, Hull Animal Welfare Trust, Wicstun Vets, The Potting Shed, Sewells Petrol Station and Sals Hairdressers.

Fireworks are expected on Bonfire Night, New Years Eve and Diwali but all the others throughout the year really aren’t necessary.  Nobody wants to stop people having fun or feeling that by stopping the fireworks their weddings won’t be the same, but, realistically in this day and age you can at least use silent fireworks to save all the wildlife, people with PTSD, children, elderly, and our beloved pets.

We will ask that if you feel the same then please sign the petition and even if you don’t feel the same then please just give some thought to these people and animals before you set off fireworks for the sake of it.

BELLWAY UPDATE 21.08.2024:

Today I met with the Chair and Clerk of South Cave Parish Council as well as a representative from Bellway. We discussed the provision of the path to Market Place, the hoarding on Market Place, and the drainage/power supply for the development as well as the convoluted history of the site.

The original planning condition stated that a path was to be provided by the occupation of the 90th (of 90) open market property (not including the affordable housing provision). A subsequent application increased the number of properties but the condition remained unchanged. As a result the path was originally supposed to be provided before all the houses across the whole site were occupied; but is now required before the last 5 are built on the leg in the image here. Currently 89 properties are occupied as well as the affordable houses (which are not counted towards the total under the planning condition concerning the path).

To confuse matters further Northern Power required that the substion be moved from the south-east corner of the site to the south-west corner (green on the map) where the path will connect the development to Market Place. This has impacted on the delivery of the path and open space in the south-west corner. Added to this is the drainage and attenuation which has had to be altered due to the Council not permitting attenuation under the play space (in case maintenance or works are needed in future).

Bellway now also intend to sell the land adjacent to the path and another developer will be building the last 5 houses to Market Place. They will be adding a condition to the sale to ensure the path is provided (the red line as originally intended) and will be opening a temporary route (the blue line) as soon as is possible. This will however have to be temporarily closed whilst the groundwork’s and foundations are built for safety reasons.

The advertising hoarding on Market Place should hopefully be removed in the next 6 weeks. However, there will still need to be a barrier of some form when the 5 houses are built for safety reasons.

Kind regards,

Councillor Richard Meredith

I have received complaints from residents relating to vehicles parking partially on pavements including trades vehicles.  

As previously requested, can we please request residents park carefully and if you are having tradespeople work at your property, please request they park appropriately taking into consideration residents, who may need access to the full footpaths for strollers, wheelchairs etc… It really is unacceptable for pedestrians to walk around vehicles onto the road due to inappropriate parking.

Responsible dog walking

Going out for a walk is an important part of your dog’s day, and the countryside can be a good place to do this. To keep you, your dog and other animals safe, follow our simple top tips for a safe countryside dog walk.

Crops

Follow the marked footpaths, close gates behind you and don’t stray into fields. Crops that are in early and later stages of growth are easily damaged by dogs and people walking on them.

Litter and dog poo

Poo bags and litter can seriously harm wildlife and farm animals as they may try to eat it, thinking it’s food. Always make sure you dispose of all your rubbish and dog poo in a bin. If there aren’t any public waste bins nearby, you should take the litter home with you and use your own bin. 

We have more information about how to dispose of different types of litter safely. Dog walkers can play an important role in keeping the countryside safe for everyone by picking up any litter you see, even if it’s not yours, and safely disposing of it in a bin. 

Livestock

Many dogs will show interest in livestock and even if you think your dog wouldn’t harm another animal, accidents can happen. Dogs can easily frighten animals; ewes and lambs, in particular. Ewes can abort their unborn lambs, be separated from the herd and be seriously injured if they come into contact with dogs. Give livestock plenty of space, and don’t try to feed them as it might cause them harm.

Putting your dog in a situation where they end up chasing farm animals, wildlife or other pets can have far more serious consequences.

If your dog worries livestock, you may end up being sued for compensation and, in some circumstances, farmers are legally entitled to shoot dogs if they’re endangering their sheep.

How to stop your dog from worrying sheep

It can be all too easy to become complacent when walking your dogs, after all, it’s something we do every day. But remember, the resulting loss of life if your dog escapes your control – even for a moment – can be devastating. Don’t be caught out – follow these top tips:

• Be aware of the effects of sheep-worrying, and let others know too
• Make sure you know where your dog is at all times
• If you’re letting your dog off the lead, be confident there are no livestock nearby
• Be sure that your dog will return to you promptly on command, and if in doubt, keep them on the lead

Find out more about teaching your dog to come when called as well as other useful advice on caring for and understanding your dog.

Worried about a farm animal?

Find out who to contact if you think a farm animal is sick or injured.

Wildlife

Wherever you go in the countryside there will be wildlife nearby, and even though you might not be able to see them if they’re hidden away in bushes or hedgerows, dogs can still sniff them out thanks to their fantastic sense of smell. These could be young wild animals waiting for their parents, or adults trying to keep their young safe such as ground-nesting birds sitting on eggs. Be aware of areas where wildlife might be hiding and ensure your dog doesn’t disturb them, as this could cause parents to abandon their young or be chased and seriously injured by a dog. It’s the best way to keep your dog safe too, as some wild animals can be aggressive if they’re attacked and need to defend themselves or their young.

This is important all year round, but be especially careful in the spring and summer as this is when many wild animals will be breeding and have vulnerable offspring. If you are walking your dog in an area with deer between early May and late June, watch out for newborn deer who are especially vulnerable at this time and many are killed or injured by dogs. And if you’re walking on beaches or near areas where seals will come out of the water to rest, make sure your dog is on a lead and keep at least 100 metres distance and as far away from the seals as possible to avoid disturbing them.

Dogs can also harm wildlife living in ponds, as well as being at risk themselves if they swim in some ponds – find out more from Froglife.

Update received from ERYC Dog Warden – Neil Fraser  

Many thanks for contacting us regarding the dog fouling issues in South Cave, I have conducted two patrols last week and sadly I agree with you that the irresponsible few are clearly allowing their dogs to foul in various public areas throughout the village.   You may note that I have increased the enforcement signage in the village and I have spoken to a number of local residents and encouraged them to report any information that they may have, any violations that we can prove will result in prosecution 

I will continue with the patrols and hopefully this will have a positive effect on this problem.

Please let me know If you have any further info and request residents to report dog fouling to the ERYC by visiting: Dog control and ownership (eastriding.gov.uk) or call: 01482 393939; email: dog.warden@eastriding.gov.uk

Neil Fraser (Dog warden)

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.

Who is on the Council?

Can I attend meetings of the council?

Yes, meetings of the Parish Council and its committees are open to the public and the press, except in very exceptional circumstances. The time and place of meetings must be advertised beforehand – usually on the noticeboards and website.

Can I speak at meetings of the Parish Council?

You cannot speak while the normal business of the meeting is being conducted. However, in some meetings there is a ‘public forum’ where members of the public can speak. The Clerk can provide you with details about how this works.

How do people get elected to the council?

Elections are held every four years and will usually coincide with a District Council election. A Public Notice of a forthcoming election will be placed on noticeboards and on this website.

In these circumstances, the Parish Council can co-opt someone to fill the vacancies.

South Cave is proud to have five Community Public Access (Automated External) Defibrillators, (CPAD’s), which are located in yellow cabinets outside Costcutters Pinfold, South Cave Sporting Club at the playing field behind the school, Pass the Parcel (used to be South Cave Post Office) in Brough Road, All Saints Community Centre on Church Hill, and inside South Cave Sewell Service Station, behind the counter.

CPAD’s can be vitally important in saving the life of a person who may be suffering from a Cardiac Arrest.

The CPAD’s can be accessed in an emergency, 24 hours of every day, by anyone, using the following instructions:-

• Dial 999 from any phone, or alternatively 112 from a mobile phone, and ask for an ambulance;
• If you are within 600 metres of one of the CPAD’s, you will be alerted to it and asked “is there someone with you who can go and get it?”
• You will also be given a code, to open the yellow cabinet;
• Someone must stay with the patient and start administering CPR (Cardio-pulmonary resuscitation);
• Therefore, to access the defibrillator you would need someone else with you;
• If you are on your own, you will be advised to stay with the patient and start CPR, without delay;
• After retrieving the defibrillator, or if you are on your own with the patient, you will be guided through CPR and the defibrillator’s use, by an Emergency Call Handler.

As soon as possible, you will be joined by trained emergency personnel from Yorkshire Ambulance Service, (maybe initially one of the local Community First Responders), who will take over from you immediately, and may appreciate you staying at the scene, in case you can assist.

Please be assured that you can make an immediate difference to the patient’s chances of a full recovery, if you follow this process – you do not need to be specially trained – you will be supported throughout by the Emergency Call Handler.
