Protecting Our Water: Local Conservatives Demand Action from Yorkshire Water and Government
At Full Council, Cllr Sean McMaster (South East Holderness Ward) presented a powerful motion demanding answers and accountability from Yorkshire Water and the Government.
The motion called on the East Riding Council to write to Yorkshire Water and ask:
1️⃣ Why a hosepipe ban is being imposed despite the aquifer supplying plenty of water.
2️⃣ Why over 200,000 hours of raw sewage was dumped last year — and why stronger action hasn’t been taken.
3️⃣ Why record dividends were paid to shareholders while service levels remain unacceptable.
4️⃣ Why household bills have risen by 30% despite no real improvement for customers.
The motion also asked for a letter to be sent to the relevant Government Minister, urging them to take action to stop these practices and legislate for real change.
Our residents deserve better — and Conservative councillors are fighting to hold Yorkshire Water to account.

Demanding transparency on Energy developments and protecting East Riding’s Best Farmland
Cllr Samantha Whyte presented to Full Council on 2nd April a Solar Energy motion. Samantha is delighted that the Council voted unanimously in favour of the solar energy motion to improve transparency and community involvement in solar energy developments across the East Riding.
This motion will help ensure local people have access to up-to-date information, that we protect our best farmland, and that rural communities are not overwhelmed by poorly planned clusters of solar farms.
