There will be an abundance of apples and possibly some pears and plums ready for picking on the Ellerker allotments (at the top of Howden Croft Hill) during the next few weeks.

As part of the Wildlife and Rural Crime Week, Humberside Police are visiting areas to engage with local farmers and members of the public – to raise awareness of rural and wildlife crime. The Police Events Vehicle will be on Ellerker Village Green on Sunday, 24th July between 11:30 and 12:30 – see poster.
With regard to the parking issues that are experienced by many of the residents, visitors and workers, in and around Ellerker, outside the village hall, the Playing Field Committee are proposing the following: Read more
To test a small area on the playing field (Ings road side) with a plastic matting to enable one car to park. The matting will be inset so that the grass can grow through, but will add stability to the ground to enable a car to park on it without tearing up the verge and it will also maintain a pleasing visual aesthetic.
If this is successful there is the potential to create 4-6 bays.
At this stage it is a test to gather feedback from the residents of Ellerker and to see how effective the proposed solution could be.
