Malhamdale and Southern/South Western Dales Fringes
Malhamdale and Southern/South Western Dales Fringes + Physical Influences Malhamdale The landscape of Malhamdale is dominated by the influence of limestone, and includes some of the most spectacular examples of this type of scenery within the Yorkshire Dales National Park and within the United Kingdom as a whole. Great Scar limestone dominates the scenery around Malham, attaining a thickness of over 200m. It was formed in the Carboniferous period, some 330 million years ago, by the slow deposition of shell debris and chemical precipitates on the floor of a shallow tropical sea. The presence of faultlines creates dramatic variations in the scenery. South of Malham Tarn is the North Craven Fault, and Malham Cove and Gordale Scar, two miles to the south, were formed by the Mid Craven Fault. Easy erosion of the softer shale rocks to the south of the latter fault has created a sharp southern edge to the limestone plateau north of the fault. This step in the landscape was further developed by erosion during the various ice ages when glaciers flowing from the north deepened the basin where the tarn now stands and scoured the rock surface between the tarn and the village, leading later to the formation of limestone pavements. Glacial meltwater carved out the Watlowes dry valley above the cove. There are a number of theories as to the formation of the vertical wall of limestone that forms Malham Cove, whose origins appear to be in a combination of erosion by ice, water and underground water. It is thought that water pouring down the Watlowes valley would have cascaded over the cove and cut the waterfall back about 600 metres from the faultline, although this does not explain why the cove is wider than the valley above.

Advisory Visit River Ribble, Settle September 2011
Advisory Visit River Ribble, Settle September 2011 1.0 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit undertaken by Tim Jacklin and Gareth Pedley of the Wild Trout Trust to the River Ribble, Settle, North Yorkshire on 12th September, 2011. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Bob Garnett, Mike Harding, John Walker and Arthur Padgett of Settle Anglers’ Association (www.settleanglers.co.uk) and Neil Handy, Environment Agency Fisheries Officer. Normal convention is applied throughout the report with respect to bank identification, i.e. the banks are designated left hand bank (LHB) or right hand bank (RHB) whilst looking downstream. 2.0 Catchment and Reach Overview The River Ribble rises in the Yorkshire Dales and flows broadly south west to join the Irish Sea below Preston. The reach seen during this visit was north and south of the town of Settle, North Yorkshire between grid references SD 82201 65907 (upstream) and SD 80733 61277 (downstream) (Figure 1). The river here crosses the south-western edge of the Yorkshire Dales into the Forest of Bowland Natural Area (www.naturalareas.naturalengland.org.uk/Science/natural/NA_search.asp), occupying a transitional area between the upland, predominantly limestone areas of the Dales and the flatter valley floor with a geology of millstone grit overlain by glacial till. Land use in the vicinity of the river (outside Settle town) is largely livestock farming and most of the land appears to be in Entry Level Stewardship (the most basic level of agri-environment agreement), with small areas in Higher Level Stewardship and Countryside Stewardship (e.g.

Public Accountability Meeting
Public Accountability Meeting Public Questions – Local Priorities (27 February 2018) Questions asked by the public about policing matters in their local area have been answered by Julia Mulligan, your elected Police and Crime Commissioner. Questions and answers are grouped by area as per the meeting. We have grouped similar issues within those sections so that you can see what others are asking and how we have responded to them, and then alphabetically by surname. County Command (Harrogate, Craven, Richmondshire and Hambleton) Concern: Low level crime and anti-social behaviour Question from Richard Christian, BluSkills Ltd “Do you feel that the community’s concerns regarding anti-social behaviour are as a result of a draw down in Police and PCSO presence on the street, with Police moving to vehicle bourne reactive tactics instead of community policing and foot/bike patrols? Do you see this as an issue and are you looking to address it? “I see many early teen aged groups loitering in kids play areas and on the streets. Most of these areas are poorly lit and offer cover for smoking of recreational drugs and alcohol. How are you working with local authorities as part of a prevent strategy to create dedicated spaces and activities for the younger generations to enjoy positively rather than turning to anti-social behaviour and is there a desire to light areas which currently offer a safe haven for drug taking.” Answer: A central part of my role as Commissioner is to be the voice of the public, and I have made it clear through the ‘Reinforcing Local Policing’ priority in the Police and Crime Plan that local policing remains important to the public.

Ribble Valley Settlement Hierarchy
RIBBLE VALLEY SETTLEMENT HIERARCHY Executive Summary Observations The summary below is derived from the more detailed analyses of the contextual and demographic data set out in Appendix 1 and the local services and facilities data described in Appendix 2. • Clitheroe stands out as the most significant settlement within the Borough, with the best provision of services and facilities • The next two settlements, Longridge and Whalley also stand out from all other settlements in terms of provision across all the various service and facilities categories. While Whalley is smaller than some other settlements, such as Langho and Wilpshire, they have significantly poorer service and facility provision. In Wilpshire’s case this could be due to the services in the area falling into adjacent parts of Blackburn. • Eleven settlements clustered towards the bottom of the hierarchy all scored poorly across nearly all categories. These are: Osbaldeston, Tosside, Copster Green, Pendleton, Sawley, Calderstones, Newton, Wiswell, Rimington, Worston and Holden. Only in terms of community facilities did a few of this group, Pendleton, Newton and Rimington, have good or reasonable provision. This leaves 21 remaining settlements within the hierarchy with a spectrum of provision between these two extremes. There are no significant “step changes” within this group, however those towards the top of this group, scoring 20 and above points were considered the initially most likely to possibly act as more local centres. It could be argued that this 20 point limit is somewhat arbitrary however. • This group contains: Langho, Mellor, Chatburn, Ribchester, Waddington, Dunsop Bridge and Sabden. Most of this group, perhaps unsurpringly, have relatively large populations of over 1000, with only Waddington and Dunsop Bridge being smaller.
