Stamford Bridge Community Governance Review

A public consultation is taking place following a petition and proposal from Stamford Bridge Parish Council to change the boundaries of the parish.

Stamford Bridge Parish Council wish to change their boundaries so they include new housing developments which currently lie within Skirpenbeck Parish Council as well as realigning the southern boundary with Catton Parish Council.

Now a proposal and petition has been submitted to East Riding of Yorkshire Council, a community governance review is now taking place and residents and local interested parties living in the three affected parishes are being invited to have their say on the plans.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, public meetings cannot be held but a series of public consultations will be held on Zoom for people to join in, learn more about the proposals and give their views.
