    I don't disagree. I'm not sure why you're telling me though, I've already said similar.

    Not sure why the house value would plummet, it will still be the same house in the same place. Insurance cost soar. why would that be?

    Seems a bit silly for the bin lorry to get half way down Endyke lane then stop collection rubbish, even though it goes past all the other houses on the way to the tip or wherever bin lorries go to empty.

    Put it this way.......it would be that prospect which would turn the East Riding population against anything where HCC would have any say over the decisions which affect them & why the "Hull villages" want nothing to do with being part of any greater Hull .....probably why ERYC councillors do not want closer ties either as they will feel that as Hull has a population similar to the entire East Riding that they would expect greater influence in any joint decisions

    Which seems to suggest that ER residents are myopic and ill informed and that attitude is holding the region back, not Hull Councillors. Your councillors can't be bothered to contribute to the independent regional group looking into it!! Is that what you voted them in for, to NOT represent you?

    It'd be Hull Councillors most likely to lose their seat in a boundary change, but the main thing discussed is regional initiatives. In those, the best person is liable to get the job, but it'd be a combined group anyway.

    I know people within half a mile of each other who would disagree......postcodes make a huge difference on both counts.

    I agree about things like refuse collection....it's an area where greater co-operation could work with HCC billing ERYC for areas where it collects from ERYC properties & ERYC billing Hull where it could collect from HCC properties

    On a side note....much of Hull's waste ends up in the East Riding or beyond as it has no landfill sites of it's own & even the waste incinerator if ever built will be in the East Riding.......another reason why Hull needs the East Riding more than the East Riding needs Hull

    They should or the decision could be made without them, be it boundary or regional working.

    They're failing to represent you.

    Not at all they are certainly representing my views........whatever is being said, at regional level talks have been going ahead for some time....I suspect the problem is more that HCC want greater change than ERYC will consider

    To be fair, they probably doing exactly what most East Riding residents want them to do, unfortunately.

    Do the East Riding let us tip the waste for free? A fair amount goes over the bridge too, but it's on the most part an example of regional working rather than dependency.

    The landfill tax has cut that right back anyway.

    You suspect wrong, but seem happy with less than mediocrity from your own elected members, but demand perfection from ours.

    From what I've read, many in the East Riding seem remarkably ill informed. That's quite a failing from ERYC.

    The problem for your view DMD is that Hull is largely considered irrelevant by much of the East Riding

    You seem to have a lot to say about such an irrelevance. Law of averages, some of it may well end up being almost right.

    At least, in the main, they're informed enough to elect their representatives based on how capable they are, rather than simply the party they represent.

    Every time Geraghty does an interview, the prospect of East Riding residents getting on board with supporting a closer working relationship with HCC slips a little further away.

    Gerraghty is one councillor. He comes over poorly on the radio, and I wouldn't vote for him, but he still got in when he was an independent and didn't represent Labour.

    The bit about the East Riding considering their councillors more than people in Hull is laughable and pompous even by the sweeping generalisations this topic seems to hurl out. There are some that shouldn't be near a decision making process. If they're there by the informed decision of their electorate, I'd confiscate the electorates crayons and reduce their sand pit time for a while.

    The East Riding has many faults, getting into a pissing contest on which is worse just seems to produce selective figures and rash, sweeping generalisations. It's pointless and counter productive.

    It needs positive thinking to promote the region, not attempts to hold it back for unrealistic fears and paranoia.

    I'm with you cock bod. These Allamesque comments about the City of Hull are tedious in the extreme, although I'm a tad confused as to why you feel obliged to not only read but comment when you're fully aware of what this thread is about.
