Updated 3rd October 2011
The team had a busy summer raising road safety awareness in Hessle. We had a great fundraising day at Hessle Feast were we met Alan Johnson MP and told him about our project! We completed road safety questionnaires, made and put up road signs around the park on Tower Hill and arranged for the council to cut back the overgrowth on the trees which was obstructing motorists’ vision. Finally, we met with Hessle Town Councillor Phil Davison who is requesting that East Riding Council put up 20mph road signs and a safety barrier at a blind spot as highlighted by us! All in all it has been a rewarding and enjoyable experience and we would encourage our friends to take part in the Lifestyle project.

Florida Bound Three, Bottesford Scunthorpe
Danica, Amy and Owen’s future goal is to make the community a better place for the society to use.
Our aim is to create
1) Raise awareness of Timberlands Archaeological Site - a Roman Settlement
2) Make the site more attractive with flowers and benches for the community
3) Provide an information sign on the field to inform the community of what is buried underneath
4) Involve the community in the project
The history of timberlands has been very interesting to our team, because the site is a archaeological area we are very limited as to what we can achieve with our Lifestyle project.
Sunday 7th August there will be a Fun Day on the field itself where we will be selling cakes and entertaining the community with games and a bouncing castle - we will also be providing information about our ongoing project.
We are slowly making a difference and together Florida bound three and the community can make this archaeological site a place where the community can come together and enjoy their surroundings and feel proud of what we, together have achieved.
We have recently held a community meeting at the local pub (Beckwood) to explain our future plans and goals, Scunthorpe MP Cllr Nic Dakin turned up to our meeting.

The West Hull Warriors
Bethany, Nikkita, Lauren and Hannah
After having a great time taking part in Lifestyle last year at Pickering Park, we thought this year we would make an even bigger difference by designing a water safety sign for the lake in the park as there have been a few accidents over the years.
We aim to add water safety signage at key areas in Hull to make children more aware of the dangers of water. Working together with the council, fire brigade, Humber Rescue team and Lifeguards we highlighted our concerns that not enough is done to teach children the importance of water safety and many children loosing their lives each year through drowning. We have made a DVD about water safety and put copies in five primary schools in West Hull and are hoping to send them to more schools after the summer holidays.
We have organised four big water awareness days for children and families at Pickering Park 27th July, 8th August, 24th August and the 31st August 12-2pm. Free pond dipping for children will be available who will be taught by our team and park ranger, showing them how to use the pond safely but still have fun. Arts and crafts, face painting and lots of fund raisers to raise money for the new sign that will go up in September. The team are also holding a competition to design the sign!
