“Hornsea is not alone,,ERYC also has big plans for building council estates in Bridlington: The following is taken from a Bridlington paper.
600 extra houses some with sea views!


'4.86 The objectives for housing in the AAP area are to:

¿housing types, including well-designed, high density, apartment and town house developments, that will meet aspirations for high quality housing in the AAP area and to increase housing choice;
¿attract into and retain within Bridlington more of the young, skilled and qualified to whom a high quality Town Centre lifestyle tends to appeal, helping to address imbalances in the local labour market and contribute to raising average skill levels in Bridlington¿s labour pool;
¿deliver an urban lifestyle option for the small, but important, segments of the empty nester and family markets which prefer to live in the Town Centre;
¿help make it feasible to deliver the mix, scale and quality of transformational development sought at Burlington Parade, where the demand for housing and the relatively high values achievable make it possible to achieve a quality of development and use mix (particularly offices) than otherwise would be possible;
¿take advantage of the exceptional position of the Town Centre, with the possibilities of offering sea views for many residents as well as ready access to the Town Centre core, seafront and beaches;

¿avoid future concentrations of houses in multiple occupation, in favour instead of stable, socially mixed neighbourhoods;
¿create the conditions that will make it attractive to convert back to housing use the former dwellings around the Town Centre currently occupied by struggling B&B, guest house and retail businesses, particularly for family accommodation;
¿provide for activity throughout the Town Centre, around the clock and all days of the week, contributing both to the vitality and viability of the whole of the Town Centre and providing the natural surveillance needed to help suppress crime and other anti-social behaviour;
¿increase the in situ spending base for the Town Centre, all year round;
¿ensure that housing is sited, designed, insulated and specified so as to protect residential amenity, ensuring that a lively evening economy does not prejudice the development of a diverse social mix and household type in the Town Centre; and
¿contribute appropriately to the affordable housing requirement for Bridlington.
4.87 The target for the Burlington Parade scheme is about 600 additional dwellings over the plan period to 2021, and for the Marina about 200 additional dwellings. In line with Proposed Policy BridTC2, the Council¿s priority is to direct development for high density town house and apartment accommodation to Burlington Parade. The other priorities for housing development, new build and conversions, are: the Town Centre Seafront in line with Proposed Policy BridTC20, houses currently in use for B&B and Guest House provision; and houses currently in multiple occupation.

East Riding of Yorkshire has emerged as the biggest winner of a government bid to get more councils building homes.


On Monday, housing minister John Healey announced 73 councils will receive a share of a £122.6 million pot, bringing the total allocated through the scheme to £263.4 million.

This will fund 4,104 new homes across England when it is matched with funding that will be secured by local authorities.

The council building the most homes and receiving the biggest cash injection from the two rounds is East Riding of Yorkshire, which will build 331 homes with £20.2 million from the Homes and Communities Agency.”

“Mayor Miller: Hang on in there 'John boy' the residents of Cottingham have managed to get Eryc's plans to build council houses stopped. We are all behing you in your fight against the East Riding Yorkshire Council, keep up your good work.”

“Yes but 3 of our councillors want to spend half a million on their little meeting place. Mind you all of them are toffy nosed and have pleany of dosh to throw about”

“Yeah we need housing and we all gotta live sum were! but leave the seafront alone!!!! why haven't they built on the site near the school???? And back of bus station?? plus before they bring more social cases from west yorks, no offence they aint all that bad we need industry= jobs means we have less council tax to pay ( plus if our seafront looks like the centre of leeds who is gonna want to come here= jobs and carvans?? ) and its easy to work why the council have granted planning for flats more scum = more cash for taking them on, but makes us pay in the long run!!!! Any body been to withernsea? its BRANSHOLME BY THE SEA and we dont want to be like that. Its all the councils fault in the first place selling of all the old house cheap to idiots that couldnt afford a house in the first place hence they went in a council property, then they all was bad with money, i,e they all borrowed more than they could afford even when the house the got had massive discount 60% then didnt pay debts and lost them to mortgage companys/ banks and the common/decent working people gotta pick up the bill by paying the banks out. Then our taxs go up fair?”

“What is puzzeling me is why didn't our MP Graham Stuart know about these proposed council house estates and tell the shaddow tourism minister. Coud it be that ERY'Cs leader OBE Parnaby hasn't kept the MP in the loop? Perhaps the Mp can read about it i nthe Parnaby News- the Council's paper which we all pay for to be told how wonderful Parnaby is.”

“After reading Maria's comments about the number of council houses that will probably be built, there will be hundreds upon hundreds of people moving into the area.. Will the infra-structure cope. This will be a major problem, lack of doctors, lack of dentists, lack of social care, lack of religious facilities ( madni centres, Temples, Mosques) for people of different faiths . If those that move in can't speak English, who will teach them how to communicate with the people in Hornsea?”

“And don't be worried what some of the old mares ( or should I say mayors) on the council say about it..”

“Lets hope the mayor starts listening to the plans to build a 2 or 3 storey building in the centre of Hornsea,,,,it will even have a greasy spoon cafe on the top storey. Never mind if we lose the butchers, off- licence, cafe, grocers , the character of the town etc , So Mayor speak to your colleagues don't be frightened tell them what you think.. Never mind what people call the council, I think you are a good sort of bloke .”

“Don't allow your town to be taken over with social housing on the sea front. Big mistake...”
