No surprise.

[Carmine Galante.]

So HCC set up the independent commission of enquiry?

Why didn't they do something to try and persuade the voters that it would be beneficial to vote Yes?

Or did they?

If they did I didn't see any of it.

They should send DMD to parts of the East Riding to tell them how stupid they are for not wanting Hull's Labour council. That would do it.

 

[DMD]

Yes, I have. HCC want to extend their boundaries and the National Boundary Commission will make a decision. The opinions of people living in the East Riding will be taken into consideration.

Have you read the link?

FFS. I'll see if there's a link with pictures.

Or for not reading what the commission's actually about. IF the boundary changed, the likelihood is Labour would be voted out in those areas.

 

[Spook]

And they say people from the East Riding are snobs.

You do realise a lot of people on here think you're a pretentious arsewipe?

Come on then, explain to all us thickos what HCC's intentions and plans for expanding into parts of the East Riding.

You do realise anyone reading this will see you're as thick as pig ****? The question you ask, is answered on the link you reckon you've read.

 

[Party Hull!]

There were 4 or 5 people in my office who are East Riding residents, and they were talking in extremely derogatory terms about Hull, as they described with glee how they voted against the proposals. Lording it, they were, taking their salaries from Hull.

I told them that I hoped Hull would spread as far as the eye can see, swallowing up their homes and gardens and not letting them back out. I actually received a pointy finger jab to the shoulder for that, from one Anlaby resident.

They don't like us.

I know what they are. HCC want to expand their boundaries into parts of the East Riding.

 

[Carmine Galante.]

It would be up to the government’s National Boundary Commission to consult all of the communities affected by any proposals for changing the city boundary rather than residents living in a limited number of areas.

The above is from the link posted by DMD.


Anyone else see the gaping flaw in that statement?

 

[DMD]

I know what they are. HCC want to expand their boundaries into parts of the East Riding.

They couldn't even if that was the main option, but the recent vote is unlikely to be acceptable to a boundary commission because, as you have so ably demonstrated, people voted on the wrong question for the wrong reasons.

People judge people. It happens. It doesn't happen any less in Hull than it does it Bev.

Nowt like a bit on inverted snobbery.

 

[Walter Sobchak]

So why is this political thread allowed? Do we have to allow DMD his allotted amount of time of 'lording it' before he'll close it?

[Sir Cheshire Ben]

I'd say it has a hell of a lot to do with it.

Why has it, would you have voted yes to be engulfed by ERYC?

How utterly irrelevant. Wouldn't you have been better asking me how I would've voted as a resident of the ER?

The argument used for charging ER folk for using HCC services is both stupid, childish & irrelevant.

No it isn't. Local people, who contribute most to the local council's tax take, via their Council Tax, should get perks for this.

If it did happen there would only be one group of losers & that would be the people of Hull.

No there wouldn't. Are you saying people would stop visiting our fine museums? What complete tosh.

Democracy has spoken, why take it so personal?

Congratulations. I'm 49 years old on Sunday and you've just asked one of the daftest questions anyone has ever asked me during that time.

Pithy answers with little, if any, substance which only highlight the stupid, childish & irrelevant argument of charging ERYC residents for using HCC facilities.

Should Hull residents in receipt of Council Tax Benefits also be charged to use these facilities? By your argument yes they should.

Should Hull residents be charged for using facilities in the ERYC region? Why not? What's good for the goose...... Maybe other counties will catch on to the idea.

Hull residents would most definitely lose out. Income would fall & they'd also be charged for using ERYC facilities, like roads for example.

As it will never happen, it's irrelevant. To suggest it may, or should, happen is both stupid & childish, unless you're suggesting The Peoples Republic of Hull should be formed, charging all comers (or just their neighbours solely because they don't want to be part of Hull - sounds a little discriminatory to me).

ERYC has consulted people who it could potentially concern & have had a resounding answer from their constituents.

I'm surprised at the people who appear so against the consultation process.

I pondered that before joining in, but as it's topical and more about the areas than (arguably) party politics, I thought it ok. It's clearly a topic where extra accurate information seems to be needed.

I reckon there'd be a fair few upset if I'd closed it too.

 

[Spook]

How, because you and HCC say so?

You really don't see the condescension in that post? The people of the East Riding were asked a simple question and they answered it. They don't want Hull to extend its boundaries into their areas to create a Greater Hull. They said No, and the National Boundary Committee will take this into consideration if they have any respect for democracy and the people's wishes. But go ahead and sneer, I'm sure many people who live in the East Riding who visit this board will welcome your attitude regarding the in which they live in.

Accurate information.

What was the result of the East Riding Boundary Referendum?

The results of the East Riding Boundary Referendum are detailed below:

Question 1
Should the boundaries of Hull City Council be extended to include Anlaby, with Anlaby Common, Bilton, Cottingham, Elloughton cum Brough, Hedon, Hessle, Kirk Ella, North Ferriby, Preston, Swanland, Welton and Willerby?

No 51,312 - 96.5%
Yes 1,887 - 3.5%

Question 2

There are green open spaces separating Hull from the surrounding towns and villages in the East Riding which your council has sort for many years to protect from being built upon. This is now being opposed by Hull City Council which wants to develop land it owns in these areas. Do you think Hull City Council should be allowed to build upon land it owns in the green open spaces separating Hull and the towns and villages?

No 50,981 - 96%
Yes 2,167 - 4%

Total votes

53,199

Percentage turnout

75.27%

I agree I was just trying to stir **** up.
