Residents across Bridlington, Sewerby, Flamborough, Bempton and the wider East Yorkshire coast are being encouraged to check whether they could benefit from Yorkshire Water’s Priority Services Register — a free scheme offering extra support for customers who may need a little additional help at home.
The register is designed to make sure people who have health conditions, disabilities, mobility issues or other personal circumstances receive tailored assistance, especially during water supply interruptions or when managing their account.
Yorkshire Water says the service is quick, simple and completely free to join, and could make a real difference for households who rely on accessible communication or added reassurance.
