1. What's a blog?
SO HERE WE ARE in the idyllic town of HEDON in East Yorkshire. Having been born in Hull and lived here for years prior to 2000, we are not actually ‘new’ to Hedon but perhaps we are looking at it with new, fresh eyes!?
Listen to the latest posts:
The Holderness Lions are hoping to set up a Leo Club in Hedon. The club will be aimed at young people between 11 and 16 years of age who want to give up some spare time to help others – and have a bit of fun at the same time.

2. Attractions The Holderness Gazette reports that a meeting is being held on Monday 20th July 2009 at the Church Meeting Room, Magdalen Gate, Hedon between 5.45pm and 7.15pm for anyone interested in the idea. Good luck to the Lions in this worthy endeavour!

Church which has dominated the local skyline for over 800 years. Eight centuries have taken their toll and the Church seeks funding for repairs and development. And involving the local community in a celebration of Yorkshire Day is a marvellous way to raise funds! Yorkshire Day in Hedon will include a Treasure Trail, a Balloon Race, and a Fun Run. Tickets will be on sale in the Market Place from 9.30am onwards for these events, and also for the Grand Draw. From 10am to 2pm the Church will be open for visitors and St Augustine's Tower those that wish to climb the tower. The Church will host a variety of stalls, and light refreshments and lunches will be available. The Kingston Pipe Band will also play in the Market Place. The action moves to the Haven Arms at 1.30pm where there will be a bouncy castle, the balloon race and a barbeque. The Fun Run will start at 2.30pm, the balloons will be released during the afternoon and the Raffle will be drawn at 4.30pm. This event has been arranged with the help and co operation of the Haven Arms. Church Image by Peter Church of the Geograph Project

The Hull Daily Mail has reported that Orchard Park in Hull will benefit from £156 million to re develop the area. As somebody who originally hails from the estate then this is interesting news – albeit with concern that decent properties will be culled and existing communities face uncertainty and upheaval.
‘Your Say’ from Your Mail Favourite local Villages . Three vists to the past for one elected Forum member. Favourite local Villages . Favourite local Villages . Three vists to the past for one elected Forum member.
The redevelopment will include the demolition of 1,040 existing properties and the building of 1,700 new homes. This development takes place in the context of other projects happening in the area including a new £14m health care centre opening later this year, and proposed new £38m Academy school on Queen Elizabeth Park to replace the existing Sir Henry Cooper secondary school. It is also hoped that any redevelopment will lead to a revamp of the estate ’s shopping centre which has been a long standing need in the area.

The Orchard Park Estate was originally planned in the late 1930’s. The Hull Daily Mail commented at the time that living on Orchard Park would be like living in a new sort of world with its own parks, cinema and bomb proof shelters!

The Estate actually got constructed in the early 1960 ’s and may not have included the hoped for cinema and shelters, but was built with the most modern television cable system available at that time already installed into its infrastructure.

Rediffusion was a Hull based firm that pioneered the concept of cable television. Each new home built on Orchard Park had television cables already pre installed. The local school Sir Leo Schultz High was wired up and even had its own TV studio. In light of this historical link that Orchard Park shares with new technology, then there is, once again, a marvellous opportunity to build the new estate with regard to, and to cater for, the most modern systems currently available?

The current edition features a front page report on the recent HOTI (Hull & Holderness Opposes The Incinerator) meeting at Alexandra Hall (see Hedon Blog post ). There are several historical articles included in this edition including an interesting one about the Hull ice making trade that grew up alongside the city ’s fishing industry. “OWZAT”, reports the Newsletter, is an exhibition about the story of cricket in South Holderness. The exhibition runs every Wednesday and Saturday at the Hedon Museum until July 25th. Hedon is awash with historical photographs of the town. They can be seen in the pubs and various shops around town. The Hedon Newsletter continues this trend and publishes a photo from 1911 of a procession in the Market Place celebrating the coronation of King George V. The Dog and Duck public house can be seen clearly in the photograph – this popular pub closed down during the First World War. A report of the Police Forum meeting held on the 20th May at Hedon Town Hall (see Blog post) completes the news coverage in the publication.

Swine Flu new name and new treatment strategy Posted by rayduff on July 13, 2009 Apparantly the World Health Organisation is now referring to Swine Flu virus as the PANDEMIC (H1N1) 2009 Influenza. This is to distinguish it from seasonal H1N1 influenza virus and to avoid the stigma of associating the name with swine (taken from the National Travel Health Network and Centre Website). With the new name also came a new strategy to deal with the outbreak in the UK. With the virus spreading and the number of new cases beginning to double every seven days, then the health authorities have moved away from trying to contain the virus to actively treat those infected. In practical terms, this will mean GPs will be able to diagnose Swine Flu and treat people on the basis of symptoms rather than waiting for laboratory testing. Efforts to trace and treat people who may have had contact with the virus will cease. Anyone who has contracted Swine Flu will be offered antivirals. Local primary care trusts will also begin to establish designated antiviral collection points in their local communities. These may be at a pharmacy or a community centre, depending on local need. David Nicholson the Chief Executive of the NHS in England in his recent letter to all NHS staff has confirmed that a vaccine will soon be available:

pubs and various shops around town. The Hedon Newsletter continues this trend and publishes a photo from 1911 of a procession in the Market Place celebrating the coronation of King George V. The Dog and Duck public house can be seen clearly in the photograph – this popular pub closed down during the First World War.
“As you may be aware, the Department of Health has signed contracts to purchase sufficient vaccine to vaccinate the entire population with the first deliveries arriving in August, and at least 60 million doses are expected by the end of the year. Decisions are yet to be made about who will be prioritised to receive the first doses of the vaccine, but I anticipate that frontline staff will be considered alongside other high priority groups in order to protect them, their families and their patients. ”

Consultation on new Park and Ride facility in Hedon Posted by rayduff on July 10, 2009 Hull City Council wants to hear your views about its proposal to locate a park and ride facility on the site of the former Hedon aerodrome. It would involve creating 650 car parking spaces, six motorbike stands and 25 covered cycle enclosures. If it goes ahead the facility could be up and running by 2011. This proposal was covered by The Hedon Blog in a blog post on March 2nd 2009. However it seems things have developed further and a consultation day is being held on Wednesday 15 July. Council staff and other transport experts will be on hand to explain what is being proposed and answer any questions. According to the Hull City Council press release , Councillor Dave Woods has stated that there is a clear demand for a new park and ride facility. The Council have to consult people about any proposals and the views collected will be considered in preparing an outline planning application.
The consultation day takes place on Wednesday 15th July from 11am to 8pm at Hedon Town Hall on St Augustine’s Gate. Posted in Debate , Hedon , Hull | Tagged: Consultation , Hedon , Hedon Aerodrome , Hull City Council , Park and Ride | Leave a Comment »

Once again congratulations and thanks to the Editors of the Hedon Newsletter for keeping this local publication going.

Swine Flu new name and new treatment strategy Posted by rayduff on July 13, 2009 Apparantly the World Health Organisation is now referring to Swine Flu virus as the PANDEMIC (H1N1) 2009 Influenza. This is to distinguish it from seasonal H1N1 influenza virus and to avoid the stigma of associating the name with swine (taken from the National Travel Health Network and Centre Website). With the new name also came a new strategy to deal with the outbreak in the UK. With the virus spreading and the number of new cases beginning to double every seven days, then the health authorities have moved away from trying to contain the virus to actively treat those infected. In practical terms, this will mean GPs will be able to diagnose Swine Flu and treat people on the basis of symptoms rather than waiting for laboratory testing. Efforts to trace and treat people who may have had contact with the virus will cease. Anyone who has contracted Swine Flu will be offered antivirals. Local primary care trusts will also begin to establish designated antiviral collection points in their local communities. These may be at a pharmacy or a community centre, depending on local need. David Nicholson the Chief Executive of the NHS in England in his recent letter to all NHS staff has confirmed that a vaccine will soon be available:

pubs and various shops around town. The Hedon Newsletter continues this trend and publishes a photo from 1911 of a procession in the Market Place celebrating the coronation of King George V. The Dog and Duck public house can be seen clearly in the photograph – this popular pub closed down during the First World War.
“As you may be aware, the Department of Health has signed contracts to purchase sufficient vaccine to vaccinate the entire population with the first deliveries arriving in August, and at least 60 million doses are expected by the end of the year. Decisions are yet to be made about who will be prioritised to receive the first doses of the vaccine, but I anticipate that frontline staff will be considered alongside other high priority groups in order to protect them, their families and their patients. ”

A plethora of documents detailing the above “Treatment Phase ” is available from the Department of Health Website. However, what seems more difficult to find is LOCAL information about Hull and East Riding infection rates or levels.
