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
