Hedon and Paull websites : both Paull and Hedon’s local councils have extensive websites with a wealth of local information on them : Hedon Town Council can be found at http://www.hedon.gov.uk and Paull Parish Council at http://www.paull-eastyorkshire.org.uk The websites have been recently updated but anyone wishing to advertise a local service or business, or have their own website linked to either, or both, of them can still apply to the Webmaster, who is the same person for both websites – contact details are on the websites themselves.
