However, it is another fundraising event that we have had to cancel, which is losing crucial funds for us to keep our operation running."

It means household customers must not use a hosepipe for activities such as watering the garden, washing the car or filling a paddling pool.

"It's now looking like being into the autumn before we can have it done." He said although surveys had been carried out, the building had been occupied at the time and surveys would not usually reveal some of the issues they had come across, such as the if it would have been easier to knock the building down and start again, he said the authority had done that in the he added: "There is always a cut-off point and in this case we didn't quite reach that."With hindsight, he admitted it might have been the best on Pybus Court is due to begin in the autumn after Meregarth is Hazell said the council did not envisage any further problems, Meanwhile, in Bridlington another sheltered accommodation complex looks set to be demolished to make way for 56 new apartments for the over have been submitted to bulldoze Chantry Court off Lawson Road.

Hornsea house 'shakes so much the chandeliers jangle'
A couple said their "whole house" shook when heavy lorries and buses passed outside and cracks had appeared in the walls and skirting boards. Rob and Georgina Wilson said the problem at their 150-year-old property in Hornsea had got worse since work began on a site for a new housing development in the town. The couple live on Westgate, a busy A-road through the town centre, which has previously been the subject of protests over safety as it is so narrow large vehicles are forced to mount the pavement to Riding of Yorkshire Council has been approached for comment. Mr Wilson said the house shook so much that the chandeliers started said he believed vibrations caused by traffic shook shower tiles from the wall and caused a leak which forced him to replace his bathroom. "If it wasn't that we'd used construction materials that are designed to cope with vibration, I'm sure we'd be back to a ruined bathroom already," he said. Plans for 158 new homes on a site off Rolston Road in Hornsea were approved in February. Developer Keepmoat said, while building work had not yet begun, an archaeological dig was under way on the site in line with planning conditions. Mrs Wilson said a recent increase in traffic linked to the development had made the problem worse. "We noticed a lot of big trucks going past on their way into Hornsea and, an hour or so later, they were coming back out again," she said. "Every time one went past, the whole house shook and this was happening every hour throughout the day and we've not had that before.""The chandelier shakes. It's become really noticeable".
