  • Andrew Franks: Grub Stones Walk
    A walk to the Grub Stones on Burley Moor. 6 miles circular. This walk starts from Menston library and goes up Main Street and then along Bleach Mill Lane. It ascends to cross Moor Road, leading onto Burley Moor, with far reaching views over Burley in Wharfedale and beyond towards Blubberhouses. The highlight of the walk is an outcrop of rocks known locally as Lanshaw Rocks or the Grub Stones or the Castle. It is a naturally occurring rock formation providing a certain amount of shelter with extensive views across the Moor. Ordinance Survey Map ref. SE136448 What also makes this an intriguing location is the amount of unusual carvings and symbols on the rocks themselves. The rock art or carvings are very different to the easily identified modern graffiti that has been chipped away on some areas of the rocks over recent years. For example there are various animals, tribal figure heads and a sun devil. Burial mounds or cairns are common place on the entire Moor and it is not beyond reason that these particular rocks possibly served as a tomb as there is an unnaturally flat area to the rear of the rocks. It is a walk of approximately 6 miles circular. It is strenuous and challenging in parts. A few of the fields have cattle, with a handful of docile Highland cows in the latter part of the walk. A certain amount of caution is needed with traffic when on the way back you need to walk along Moor Road for approximately a quarter of a mile before turning to the right onto Moor Lane leading back down into Menston village.

  • CEF - Covid-19 Community Group Support Funding September 2020
    CEF - Covid-19 Community Group Support Funding September 2020 Offering financial assistance to local volunteer groups and networks who are responding to and recovering from the Covid-19 crisis. Please note the funding should only be used for such associated costs. Aim of the funding The aim of The CEF Covid-19 community support funding is to provide a ‘community float’. This will enable local voluntary groups to access financial assistance to support their activities that help communities to connect again. How do community networks access the funding? The funding is held by the Community Support Organisations (CSO) to administer on behalf of Selby District Council. The CSO will be responsible for coordinating and supporting a network of local voluntary community groups. Under this agreement the CSO will agree a simple payment system with each group across the CSOs network can access the fund. Each group that receives funding will need to produce proof of expenditure (i.e. receipts/invoices.) What expenditure is eligible? The funding can be used flexibly to enable groups to operate smoothly without financial barriers. How the funding has been used will be reviewed / discussed at each reporting stage but it is reasonable to conclude that this is likely to be: . Volunteer expenses (might be mileage, refreshments) in relation to covid-19 response/recovery activity . PPE (gloves, sanitisers etc) . Cleaning/sanitary equipment/items . Administrative/marketing supplies (printing, stamps, stationary etc) . Equipment to enable delivery of services (i.e. phone credit, games, social distance signage) What is not eligible? . Personal payments or financial assistance of any kind.
