Tranby Gate Woodland & Wildlife Haven - Public Consultation

Tranby Gate is a small but beautiful wilderness of mature British trees and natural spaces Located at the junction of Ferriby Road & Heads Lane. It supports a wide range of flora and fauna and is a hidden natural gem in our town.

The Friends of Tranby Gate (local volunteers) was established with the aim of garnering support to protect this special place from being built on.


It is currently owned and managed by East Riding Council (who have no immediate plans to develop this area for housing (it is not in the ERYC development plan over the next ten years).

Hessle Town Council has been asked by the Friends of Tranby Lodge to take over ownership and management of the site, this will incur costs to the taxpayers of Hessle, which is why we are asking you the residents for your opinions.

A tree survey has been carried out which informs us that the cost of maintaining the trees and other smaller remedial work will run into thousands of pounds.

That said it is a lovely community resource which has seen many generations of Hessle residents enjoy its many splendours.

Should you the residents of Hessle agree that the Town Council should take overall control of Tranby Gate it would safeguard its future inperpetuity.
