East Riding Libraries and Customer Service Centres: Libraries including the mobile library service will close from 5pm today (Monday, March 23).

South Cliff Holiday Park, Bridlington: will close to all customers and owners today (Monday, 23 March). This decision follows urgent government advice that ‘essential travel does not include visits to camp sites or caravan parks for isolation purposes or holidays’. The government is encouraging people to remain in their primary residence, to avoid putting additional pressure on communities and services which are already at risk.

The team at South Cliff Holiday Park will contact each customer individually over the next few days to discuss either changing the dates of holidays already booked, or refunding the cost of those holidays. Customers will be contacted in date order of their bookings.

Destination facilities manager Alex Crutchley said: “We know how disappointing this will be for all those affected but we have had to make these decisions in order to ensure the safety and security of our guests, owners and site teams.

“This ever-changing situation is incredibly difficult for you as our customers, and for our teams. We are experiencing a high volume of calls currently and our teams will contact you directly over the forthcoming days. Please be patient – thank you.”

Holiday Cottages at Sewerby Hall and Gardens : No more bookings will be taken until late May at the earliest.

John Skidmore, director of adults, health and customer services at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “As a council, we are following all the Government and Public Health England guidelines to work with the community in the East Riding to protect our customers and staff.

“We will of course work to prioritise those services which are vital for our residents throughout this period. We recognise that these significant closures will cause inconvenience, but we are sure that the public will understand the need for us all to behave differently over the coming weeks and months.”
