Investment Fund Consultation Findings 

During summer 2024, we carried out a six-week consultation in the area around the Atwick Gas Storage site to give stakeholders the opportunity to provide their thoughts and ideas and for us to capture this feedback. We are working with communities to and stakeholders to help shape the plans.

The findings of this consultation have been collated into a report which is available here.

Priority areas for the Atwick Fund

The Atwick Community Fund will give priority to applications in closest proximity to the station and those from the parish council areas of Atwick, Bewholme and Skipsea.

Priority will also be given to those projects that deliver on themes, identified during consultation:

  • Service provision, such as local clubs, events, activities or groups
