As we approach the festive season, I would like to wish all residents of the East Riding a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
This is a season for togetherness—a time to share laughter, kindness, and those special moments that make lasting memories. Whether you’re gathered around the table, enjoying festive lights, or simply taking time to rest, I hope your Christmas is filled with warmth and joy.
I would also like to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributes to making the East Riding such a wonderful place to live—from volunteers and community groups to local businesses and our dedicated council staff. Your efforts make a real difference every day.
As we look ahead to the New Year, let us hold on to hope. Whatever challenges may come, we can face them together—with compassion, resilience, and a shared commitment to making the East Riding a place where every family feels supported and valued.
On behalf of the Council, I wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and a bright, hopeful New Year.
Councillor Liam Dealtry
Chairman of East Riding of Yorkshire Council
