Despite sending the email below to Chief Executive Caroline Lacey, Director of Planning Alan Menzies and Head of Planning Stephen Hunt first thing yesterday there is silence from County Hall as to the inability of ERYC to be able to contact the Environment Agency with regards the pollution of Pocklington Beck.

Subject: URGENT – Pocklington Pollution Failure

Dear Caroline,

Could I please refer you to (LINK)

Could I request that you address the situation as a matter of urgency?

In addition can I request that you undertake an immediate investigation into not only why ERYC are unable to contact the EA but also why they are unable to send out a Planning Enforcement Officer?

Regards,

Cllr Andy Strangeway

The Bigger Picture

If ERYC are unable to contact the EA on this occasion how many more times have they failed in Pocklington, Goole, Beverley or Bridington?

Update Request

As residents are contacting me asking what has happen I have requested an update from ERYC.
