What percentage of directors of Hull companies do you think actually live in Hull? Swings and roundabouts.
I wasn't implying any particular section of the working populace OLM but anyone who lives one side of the boundary but works on the other.
Largely based on risk, there will always be a greater risk of problems for the Police where the population density is greatest (or at least more places in closer proximity to get drunk & start fights, or more bigger stores for people to nick from). The same applies to fire services, there is a greater risk of larger fires & the fire spreading in an area with a greater building density. The Police & Fire services justify the contributions based on the same type of risk assessment used by the insurance industry, which is why my bike insurance in Ferriby is lower than it would be in Hull (I would say car, but I don't pay that)
A more interesting question might be how many people who work outside Hull actually live in Hull (I would imagine the majority of those who do will work in the public sector)
I hope the Humber Bridge board are made aware. Not that it makes much difference to how ****ing slow it is trying to get across. Spring 2014 works will be completed the sign says. Maybe if they had worked until past 4pm it might have been, but they didnt. Going to be a disaster when they do these fast pass lanes there'll be motorists criss crossing and accidents.
It will be difficult to criss cross with the wall between the fast lane & regular lane. I'm sure those with fast passes will know which lane to be in & that there will be clear signage
If that were the case, they'd be applying the same criteria they used to justify dozens of Police doing nothing every football game, and even more called out unnecessarily for the Lokeren game. You're actually strengthening my point.
Clearly Hull City fans pose a high risk We outside Hull are paying for the policing outside the ground & there will be thousands of ERYC Council Tax payers with no interest in Hull City
I'm guessing from the repeated desperate attempts at moving the goal posts and inaccurate snippets, you've realised your point was crocked from the off.
I thought Humberside Police spent most of their time in Hessle dealing with drink-fuelled violence, to be honest, rather than in Hull.
Discussed the ballot at work today, and impression was 90% of those in East Riding would vote against, and the rest weren't bothered. One colleague had some some interesting points - Budget cuts to service in Hull will impact on people from E.R. who do work in/visit Hull. - A greater Hull will pull in more business (like Siemans) which would in turn help those in the E.R. - if conurbation spreads the 'gaps' between Hull and East Riding, and also between the different E.R. villages, then the differences will diminish anyway. Already a lot of families on the boundaries send their kids to E.R. schools. I imagine most insurance companies will already look at the closeness of these villages to Hull anyway. - Hull was already going more 'Liberal' before the last election and has some Conservative wards. Adding the E.R. wards would only hasten the change and get rid of the dinosaurs quicker. - It is possible to become part of a larger Hull and still retain the individuality. Sutton has it's own character as do Garden Village and Victoria Dock. I think I've said on here before that most of the anti-Hull snobs I know actually were born in Hull. A bit of success (with education and opportunities from Hull) let them move to a better Post Code. Rather than stay in the City and work to improve the City they prefer to forget their roots and look down on those they left behind. Those from the E.R. originally are generally much nicer about the whole issue.
I don't know about England but when people work on Saturday's they get time and a half and double time on Sundays, so doing work on a Monday is cheaper. Regardless if they hose up your day because they don't give a crap.
I don't think many get those rates now, a lot's just flat time. However, paying the workers is a minor cost compared to the costs incurred to industry due to delays in the working day.
I totally agree. I can't remember the last time here in the U.S. that the government made a decision that made any sense, so I assume you guys probably have the same problems.
I do feel that the Scottish referendum has eclipsed the real one -shall Kirkers etc join 'ull. I spent hours in anguish over which way it might go and then it was announced that Hull City Council, if they are successful, will be pushing for Waitrose to be shut as it only caters for 'toffs'. They will then give planning permission for it to be turned into a big chip shop, possibly run by Carvers.
